(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Luo Qiaohong, 28 years old, lived in Shiqiao Village in Hunan Chenzhou Jiahe County. In October 2000, she went to Beijing with her family to appeal, and was arrested and detained in the Guiyang Detention Center. After a seven-day hunger strike, she was moved to the Jiahe Detention Center, and was detained without being sentenced. During her imprisonment, she experienced all kinds of torture. Her mother and younger sister were also detained without a sentence at the same time. Her father and husband were illegally sent to a forced labor camp, leaving no family members at home to care for her youngest daughter, who was less then one year old.
Jiahe is a poor and remote mountain village. Her family members asked everyone to lend them 14,000 yuan to pay the fines. But in the end, after they had to sell the pigsty, they still didn't have enough money. Luo Qiaohong was no longer able to withstand the mental pressure, physical torture, and extreme financial difficulty. She died shortly after she was released on December 5, 2001.
