Falun Gong Practitioner Li Ping of Dalian City Passed Away After Long-term Persecution

Dec. 19, 2005

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong Practitioner Li Ping of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, was arrested and imprisoned many times for her persistence in practicing Falun Gong. She was jailed in Dalian Forced Labor Camp two times and suffered brutal torture. After she was persecuted to paralysis, perpetrators Zhang Xiujuan and Xie Xiaoli covered her with three comforters in the summer time and put insects on her body to bite her. Under the evil party's long-term persecution against Falun Gong, Li Ping passed away on November 27, 2005.

Ms. Li Ping, 48 years old, started to practice Falun Gong and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" in 1996. From the time the evil Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Falun Gong in 1999, she was imprisoned many times for clarifying the truth about Falun Gong and appealing on behalf of Falun Gong. In January 2000, she went to Tiananmen Square to practice Falun Gong. She was arrested by the police and transferred back to Dalian. In April 2000, she was arrested, imprisoned, and forcibly brainwashed in Dalian Rehabilitation Center for 40 days. After that, she was detained in Yaojia Detention Center for 15 days.

In October 2000, Li Ping was sentenced to 3 years in a forced labor camp. She suffered brutal torture in Dalian Forced Labor Camp. She was hung up on an iron-barred window and imprisoned in a small box used to carry apples. After 3 months of torture, she was transferred to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for further persecution. In July 2002, after hunger striking for 4 months, she was transferred back to Dalian Forced Labor Camp and then sent to a hospital.

On February 27, 2003, Li Ping went to Yaojia Detention Center to visit her imprisoned sister (who was also a Falun Gong practitioner, but had renounced Falun Gong under pressure at the time) to bring some clothing to her. After being found carrying Master's article, Li Ping was arrested again and sentenced to 2 years of forced labor. In Dalian Forced Labor Camp, she suffered from inhuman torture. Not satisfied only in persecuting her physically, the guards insulted her and humiliated her by shaving her head, cutting her eyelashes, pulling her pubic hair and sexually harassing her. Some of the perpetrators even said, "We are working for the government. We are good people." In order to force Li Ping to give up her Falun Gong practice, under the orders of a group head, perpetrator Xie Xiaoli even poured urine into Li Ping's mouth!

After hunger striking for half a year, Li Ping walked out of the forced labor camp in September 2003. In order to disclose the persecution, Li Ping started to produce truth-clarifying materials and built a small truth-clarifying materials site at her home. Especially after the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, she produced 160 copies per week. She also made other truth-clarifying materials, including Minghui Weekly.

In mid September 2005, Li Ping started to cough. Later, she could not eat anything. Otherwise, she would cough and vomit. She turned thin quickly and became bedridden. Her weight quickly reduced from 55 kilograms to about 35 to 40 kilograms. She passed away on November 27, 2005. While she was dying, she still remembered that many people asked for Zhuan Falun from her.
