Ms. Wang Yanhong Tortured Death in Detention Center

Ms. Wang Yanhong was from Jieguan Township in Anlu City in Hubei Province. She was beaten to death in the 1st Detention Center of Guangshui City for practicing Falun Gong. She was 46. Those around her lost a good family member, a guardian who upheld justice and kindness, and an ambassador who spread the blessings of Falun Gong.

Yanhong started to practice Falun Gong at the beginning of 1999. Meanwhile, she introduced Falun Gong to the people in nearby towns and villages. Some people recovered from chronic diseases, while others improved their bad tempers. Yanhong, herself, underwent a huge change as well. She had loved playing gambles and was very hot tempered. But after becoming a practitioner she became a good and kind person that everyone loved.

After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Yanhong was inhumanely persecuted. Local police officers often harassed her. She was sentenced to forced labor and was persecuted physically and financially. The CCP also viciously damaged her reputation. But all this couldn't shake her belief. In order to let people know the facts about Falun Gong, she often traveled on narrow country roads and went across mountains by bicycle, distributing materials and telling people face to face about Falun Gong and the persecution. Many people learned how the CCP has poisoned the Chinese people, and they quit the CCP. They also understood the wonderfulness of Falun Gong.

Yanhong visited many towns and villages in Anlu and Guangshui. This really upset the CCP officials. Some swore at her, others reported her to their superiors, while still others tried to arrest her. Yanhong was illegally detained several times as a result. Bearing in mind her mission to save sentient beings, she kept telling inmates the facts about Falun Gong when she was in jail. Wherever she went, she brought the wonderfulness of Falun Gong to people everywhere.

On September 4, 2008, when CCP agents from the 610 Office in Guangshui City, the Domestic Security Teams in both Guangshui and Anlu and Jieguan Police Station abducted Yanhong and another Falun Gong practitioner, Yanhong kept shouting, "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is good!"

In the detention center, she went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. She was severely beaten. She was tortured to death on September 24. Her body was quickly cremated.

The personnel involved in persecution included Zhang Huazhou, the leader of the Domestic Security Team; Fang Hong, the deputy leader of the Domestic Security Team; Liu Xuejian; and Zhang Xinzhou.
