Ms. Gao Yujie
A resident of Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province was tortured to the point of becoming paralyzed while being held at a labor camp for her faith in Falun Gong. Ms. Gao Yujie never recovered after she was released. The local police still harassed her at home from time to time, trying to force her to renounce Falun Gong. She died on March 6, 2018, at the age of 67.
Ms. Gao was a loader at Jiamusi Boiler Factory. Prior to practicing Falun Gong, she suffered from severe rheumatoid heart disease, vertigo, stomach problems, hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse and many other diseases. All her symptoms disappeared just months after she took up Falun Gong in 1995. She said that she no longer felt tired while loading and unloading heavy objects at work. She was finally able to enjoy an illness-free life.
Having benefited from Falun Gong, Ms. Gao never wavered in her faith after the Chinese Communist Party launched a nationwide campaign against the practice four years later.
Ms. Gao was arrested on July 27, 2000 for studying Falun Gong books with other local practitioners. She was held at the Jiamusi City Detention Center for one month and was extorted for 1,700 yuan.
While visiting a friend on July 31, 2001, Ms. Gao was followed by police and seized at her friend’s home. She was taken to the Jiamusi City Detention Center, where she was forced to sleep on the cold cement ground. Her rheumatoid heart disease relapsed as a result, and she had trouble walking.
Seventeen days later, Ms. Gao was given one year of forced labor and transferred to the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp. The police handcuffed and shackled her on the way there despite her condition.
The labor camp guards forced Ms. Gao to work without pay, including gluing paper boxes and sorting soybeans. They also limited how often and how long she could use the restroom.
One day she had great difficulty moving her legs, but three guards still dragged her to walk around. She became disabled after that. The guards still dragged her from her cell to the workshop to do forced labor every day. They also ordered her to write statements to renounce Falun Gong. She refused, and the guards punished her by limiting her water intake and restroom use.
Ms. Gao remained paralyzed after she was released. Even so, the police often harassed her at home, attempting to make her renounce Falun Gong. Her condition worsened and she died on March 6, 2018.
