Case Description:
Ms. Zhang Huanrong, 66 years old, a resident of Hengshui City, Hebei Province, lived with her daughter in Hengshui City. On January 3rd, 2004, police officers Wang Huimen, Zhai Qiming and others ransacked her home and abducted her daughter and son-in-law. The officers said to her: "If it weren't for the fact that you are weak and might die in jail, we would have taken you away too." Chen Yu, Zhang's daughter, was sentenced to 3 years in forced labor camp. Her son-in-law was sentenced to one year in forced labor camp. The mental burden was too much for Ms. Zhang to bear and on April 5, 2004 she passed away.
