(Clearwisdom.net) On May 13, 2001, officers from the Mohudian Police Station arrested Mr. Yang Qing when he was passing out Falun Gong informational fliers. They detained him for six months in the Lingyuan City Detention Center. In November 2001 they took him to the Chaoyang City Forced Labor Camp. He was released on June 10, 2002.

Just 70 days later, officer Li Xinhai from the Lingbei Town Police Station arrested him again, on August 19, 2002, when he was working at a construction field. He was sentenced to two years of forced labor a few days later and again taken to the Chaoyang City Forced Labor Camp.

Mr. Yang was released in June 2004. The camp ordered him to report to the Lingbei Town Police Station upon returning home, but he did not go. He was very depressed. Before the May 28, 2009 Duanwu Festival (lunar May 5), he began feeling some discomfort. He visited doctors on July 13, 2009, when he was not feeling good and was diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer. He died on October 10, 2009.
