(Clearwisdom.net) On July 31, 2004, Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Hong from the Dongli District of Harbin City was persecuted to death by Harbin's Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province. The labor camp authorities demanded that Ms. Zhang's family cremate her body as soon as possible, but this demand was firmly refused. Ms. Zhang's family is now turning to the legal process with an appeal to investigate her death.

Ms. Zhang had been illegally sent to forced labor once before. On July 22, 2004, she was sent to forced labor again at Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, and by July 31, she was persecuted to death. When her family members saw her body, her eyes and mouth were wide open, she had lost almost 30-40 lbs, and there were feces in her pants. The group directly responsible for Ms. Zhang's untimely death is Wanjia Forced Labor Camp.

On August 5, in order to deceive the public, the police replaced the plaque reading, "Camp Intensive Training Class" (in fact, it's a "torture chamber") where Ms. Zhang was detained with a sign saying "Clinic," and decorated the room with oxygen bottles and some other medical apparatus. Even the police at the Intensive Training Division looked quite uneasy, because they were afraid that others would find out the truth of what really takes place in that room.

Since Ms. Zhang Hong was sent to the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, she has been detained in the "Intensive Training Division" (Division No. 13). The responsible policemen there include four male section heads: Wu Hongxun, Zhao Yuqing, Yao Fuchang and Li Xiaojie. The prisoners who have been ordered by the police to participate in the persecution of Ms. Zhang include: Zhang Guiyun, Chen Lingling, Sun Huijun, and others.
