(Clearwisdom.net) (A Minghui source in Chongqing) Ms. Guo Chuanshu, 62 and retired, was from Chongqing. She was transfered to the Chongqing City Women's Prison on November 14, 2008, and died there on August 9, 2009. She was arrested 6 times, twice sent to a forced labor camp, and twice sentenced to prison. She was once paralyzed due to the torture she suffered in the Chongqing City Women's Prison.

Ms. Guo understood how wonderful Falun Dafa is, and she went to Beijing to appeal in 1999. She was arrested and detained and sent to a forced labor camp in the summer of 2000. She was bailed out on a medical parole in September 2001. In March 2002, she was arrested and detained for 15 days. The Jiangjin District Court sentenced her to three years in prison in May 2002. While she was in the Jiangjin District Detention Center before going to prison, the guards tortured her with half-sitting for a long time and handcuffing her behind her back. The center director, Feng Haoliang, put several dozen pounds of heavy shackles on her ankles. It was a hot summer, but prison personnel wouldn't let her wash or sleep, and the guards slapped her. She was later taken to the Chongqing City Women's Prison, where she became paralyzed as a result of brutal mistreatment. She was bailed out on a medical parole in the summer of 2004.

Ms. Guo was once again arrested, detained, and sentenced to forced labor in 2006. She was bailed out on a medical parole on February 17, 2007.

She clarified the truth to the Baisha Town police officers on May 10, 2007. She was arrested and detained in Jiangjin District Detention Center.

On May 24, 2008, Ms. Guo went to clarify the truth in Degan Town and was arrested and detained in the Langshan Town Detention Center. She was later sentenced to four years in prison. She was transferred to the Sixth Ward of the Chongqing City Women's Prison on November 14, 2008, but died there on August 9, 2009.

Chongqing Women's Prison has recently moved from the Yongchuan District to an area near Degan Town and Shuangfu Town.
