Five Practitioners Persecuted to Death in Jilin, Hubei and Heilongjiang Provinces

May 19, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Qiu Yunzhi, 52 years old, was a practitioner from the Sixth section in Lujia Village, Wutai Township, Dehui City, Jilin Province. Before she started cultivating in 1998, she suffered from a variety of diseases. After she began practicing Falun Dafa, her physical and mental health greatly improved and her diseases healed miraculously. On July 20, 1999, the Jiang regime began persecuting Falun Gong. In a visit to the Appeals Office in Beijing in March 2003, Ms. Qiu was illegally arrested by the police halfway through her trip. She was sent to her hometown and held the Dehui City Detention Center for 16 days. She was also extorted out of 2,700 yuan. Thereafter, she suffered constant harassment, threats, and house break-ins by agents Gao, Guo, and Li from the local police station and Dehui City 610 Office. Under great pressure, she suffered a mental breakdown and was mentally disordered for the past five years. Finally, on March 21, 2003, she died. The Dehui City Public Security Bureau and Wutai Village Detention Center criminals are directly guilty of persecuting Ms. Qiu to death.

Mr. Zhou Chengjian, approximately 46 years old, was a practitioner from Hubei Province, possibly from Ezhou. He recovered from poor health shortly after beginning to cultivate the Fa. At the end of 2003, he was illegally sentenced to three years of imprisonment in the Hubei Province Qinduankou Prison. The sentence was to end in May 2006. He was brutally tortured in the Fifth Middle Team and suffered very strong illness karma. He could not eat and had constant headaches. Sources have revealed that he had brain cancer. Finally, a few months after he was bailed out for medical treatment in March 2004, he passed away due to the persecution.

Mr. Wang Shichang, 60 years old, was a practitioner from the Xinyinan construction site in Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province. After he began practicing Dafa, his health improved tremendously and he was cured of all his previous illnesses. In order to validate the Fa after the persecution began on July 20, 1999, he began practicing Dafa openly in public areas and was "illegally detained" by the police for two weeks. Due to constant harassment and threats by the local police, Mr. Wang's physical and mental health was severely impaired and he became unable to live normally. He passed away tragically on January 30, 2004.

Mr. Zhang Ziyuan, 40 years old, was a practitioner from the Xinyinan construction site in Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province. He used to be a carpenter and was a late stage colorectal cancer patient before cultivating Dafa. After he began to cultivate, his body recovered gradually. Since the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, the police have harassed him at home countless times, forbidding him and his wife from practicing Dafa. His wife was forced to live in exile. Even then, the police continued to threaten his family and created a great psychological pressure for him. With no chance of appealing the injustices he suffered and unable to reunite with his family, Mr. Zhang died in July 2002.

Ms. Zhang Shulan, 60 years old, was a practitioner from Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province. Before cultivating Dafa, she had a large tumor on her neck and could not speak properly, much less live a normal life. After becoming a practitioner, she recovered miraculously and could speak properly. As a result, many of her relatives were led to cultivating Dafa. After the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, the police broke into her place and "illegally arrested" her numerous times. One of her daughters was taken to the local police station where she was brutally tortured and force-fed before being sent to the Qiqihar Labor Camp and sentenced to three years of imprisonment. As a result, her daughter became mentally disordered. Another of Ms. Zhang's daughters was also arrested and imprisoned. Seeing her family members and children suffer tremendous persecution, yet unable to appeal these injustices, Ms. Zhang passed away in July 2003 under immense pressure.
