(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Hu Yuehui, 44 years old, is from Yueyang City. During her more than one year of protests against the persecution, she maintained a hunger strike and suffered all kind of tortures. Once, four special task policemen held electric batons and illegally detained her and another practitioner together in a separate cell, shocking them from morning to the afternoon. However, Hu Yuehui was not moved at all. She was shocked into a coma. When she was carried to the hospital, no single uninjured part could be found on her body.

On January 31 and February 1, 2003, seven to eight "detained and monitored" prisoners (drug addicts, prostitutes, cheaters) together beat Dafa practitioners. Hu Yuehui and Xiong Ruilian were beaten for the longest time. Xiong Ruilian was beaten into a coma immediately.

During more than one year's hunger strike, Hu Yuehui was suffering all kinds of daily inhuman tortures, including hands and feet being tied up, injections, force-feeding with bamboo tubes, and tubes inserted into her stomach. She had only a few of her pure white teeth left. She kept on practicing the Dafa exercises around 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. Her shouting of "Practicing Falun Gong is innocent" could often be heard. "Detained and monitored" prisoners often tied up her hands and feet, and she was gagged with floor cleaning rags and tape. She was always righteous and stern when facing the evildoers. In November 2002, Hu Yuehui was tortured to death. She validated Dafa with her life.
