Case Description:
Ms. Zhang Xiuling was 68 years old, and her entire family practices Falun Gong. They have been brutally persecuted over the past six years. The police from Cuimiao Town of Fuchen County publicly humiliated and denounced Ms. Zhang by parading her around the streets with a cardboard sign hanging around her neck. Ms. Zhang's oldest son died in the hands of the Fuchen Police Department. Ms. Zhang was arrested many times. Because of the constant harassment from government officials and police officers, Ms. Zhang died in July of 2005. A few days after her death, police from Wangji Town Police Station arrested her older daughter Liu Shuxiang. Her younger daughter Liu Jianxin has become homeless to avoid the persecution.
