(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Yunting from Dandong City passed away in October 2008. Due to the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong, he was forced into homelessness, and his wife left him.
Mr. Zhang Yunting was born in 1961. After the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong in July of 1999, Mr. Zhang went outside to practice Falun Gong. He was taken away by police from the Badao Police Station in Yuanbao District, Dandong City, and was detained for 15 days. Another time he was arrested and detained for over 10 days by the Liudaokou Police Department.
In June or July of 2001, Mr. Zhang was forced to move due to harassment and being followed by policemen and national security guards. One time, a banner related to Falun Gong was hung on a building in Dandong City. National security guards assumed that he had hung up the banner and arrested him. Mr. Zhang was handcuffed to a piece of heating equipment for two days and nights. He was released later due to lack of evidence.
In July 2006, Mr. Zhang Yunting had extravasated blood in his brain, and was sent to a hospital by relatives. He remained bedridden and was sent to a home for the elderly in the second half of 2007.
He passed away on August 25, 2008.
