1. Ms. Shi Xizhi
Ms. Shi Xizhi lived in Apartment 402, Building No. 2, Yinfu Community Area,
Kunming City, Yunnan Province. She was reported to police for practicing Falun
Gong and was arrested at home in April or May of 2003. She was tried secretly
and sentenced to four years in prison and detained in the No. 2 Prison of Yunnan
Province.
Late at night on March 8, 2005, the prison called Shi Xizhi's daughter and
informed her that Ms. Shi was in the Gongren Hospital, in critical condition.
The next morning, when her family members arrived at the hospital, Shi Xizhi was
already in a coma. She had been tortured and suffered from the persecution for a
long time. Ms. Shi was unable to recover and died the early morning of March 17,
2005.
From the time Shi Xizhi was arrested until she died, her family members didn't
know what happened to her during that time. When Ms. Shi was secretly tried and
sentenced to prison, no one from her family was permitted to attend the trial.
When they visited her in prison, there was always someone nearby to monitor
them. Even when Ms. Shi was comatose in the hospital, the police still stayed
around to monitor everyone. No one knows exactly how she suffered and died.
2. Mr. Lu Shilin
Mr. Lu Shilin, 69 years old, lived in Huangmei Town, Huangmei County. He was the
gatekeeper for the county department store outlet. He lived alone in the
outlet's courtyard. Since Mr. Lu began Dafa practice in 1995, he improved
greatly both physically and mentally. He was regarded widely as a good man at
the outlet. Since 1999, when the evildoers started to persecute Dafa, the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) kept harassing him. His home was searched and his
Dafa books were taken away. Mr. Lu was arrested and detained in the Huangmei
Town Police Station and in the No. 2 Huangmei Detention Center several times. In
2004, he was sent to a brainwashing center in Wuchang City, Hubei Province and
suffered a lot, both mentally and physically.
Early in the morning of March 10, 2006, some residents in the outlet's courtyard
heard a loud sound like a "bang" in the yard and a person crying. Around 4:00
a.m., a driver found Mr. Lu lying face down on the courtyard ground. There was a
lot of blood around. His hat and shoes were one meter away from his body. His
relatives later found a big hole in his forehead. The details need more
investigation.
3. Ms. Liu Suzhi
Ms. Liu Suzhi, 57, lived in Dangba Town, Bingquan County, Hebei Province. Before
she practiced Falun Gong in 1998, she had multiple diseases, which all
disappeared after she began the practice. Since 1999, when Jiang's regime
started persecuting Dafa, Ms. Liu's family members didn't support her practice,
causing her to be unable to regularly perform the exercises and study the Fa.
In 2004, her old heath problems returned. She died on October 6, 2005.
4. Ms. He Weixian
Ms. He Weixian, 61, lived at an oil company base in Chongqing City. Someone
threatened her in July 2001 for clarifying the truth. She decided later to
leave home and go from place to place to avoid further persecution. On October
24, 2002, Ms. He was sent to the Maojiashan Women's Forced Labor Camp in
Chongqing City, where they injected her with toxic substances that harm the
central nervous system. She was in constant pain since then. On October 13, 2004
Ms. He was released to go home, but the persecutors kept harassing her. She died
on April 24, 2006.
5. Ms. Wen Shuqiong
Ms. Wen Shuqiong, 68, lived at Chengbei Village, Wujing Town, Xinjing County,
Chengde City, Shichuan Province. Before she practiced Falun Gong, she had many
diseases including diabetes, nephritis, rheumatism, cholecystitis, cataracts and
other ailments. For years she had to depend on medicine to sustain her life. Not
long after Ms. Wen started the practice in 1996, her health problems disappeared
miraculously. In March 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Dafa.
She was arrested and sent back to Xinjing County. She was detained for 45 days
and was fined 10,500 yuan. Her home was searched. On June 30, 2000, the local
officials arrested Wen Shuqiong on the street. They were Chen Zichao and Chen
Guihua from the Wujing Town government, and the head of Chengbei Village, Lin
Jun. Ms. Wen was held in a detention center for 30 days. She was arrested again
in January 2002 when she clarified the truth in Qinglong Town, Pengshan County.
She was later sent back to Xinjing County, was fined 1,200 yuan and sentenced to
two years of forced labor, to be served at the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor
Camp, Sichuan Province. In April 2002, Ms. Wen was released on bail for medical
treatment. She suffered a lot during arrest and detention, and her health
deteriorated. Ms. Wen Shuqiong died in April 2006.
6. Mr. Xu Yunzhang
Mr. Xu Yunzhang, 61, was from Beijing. In 1995, he was diagnosed with stomach
cancer and underwent surgery. The doctor asserted that he could live only for
five years at most. In 1996, Mr. Xu began Dafa practice and recovered, becoming
a normal, healthy person. He had appealed for justice for Dafa many times,
including taking part in the "April 25" appeal in 1999. In 2000, local police
agents detained Mr. Xu. For several years, he kept clarifying the truth to
people in his area and suffered continuous harassment from the local residential
committee, from agents of the 610 Office, and the police station. Mr. Xu's
health deteriorated as a result of the high pressure and threats during the
long-term persecution. He died on April 30, 2006.
