Ms. Ren Shujie was a Falun Gong practitioner from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Because she was determined to practice Falun Gong, she was illegally detained in Longshan Forced Labor Camp and Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for three years and suffered many types of inhuman torture. She was not released until December 24, 2004 when she was extremely frail. Because her esophagus was congested, everything she ate was regurgitated along with a discharge from her esophagus. In addition, the regurgitation caused the upper esophagus to become swollen and press against her throat. In the end, many purple marks appeared on her body. Her lower legs turned purple. This condition continued until she was literally starved to death. Ms. Ren died on September 1, 2005, leaving her teenage son behind.
