Tortured to Death: 61 Year Old Dafa Practitioner From Donggang City

61 year old Dafa practitioner Mr Zhao Kaisheng, was a resident of Donggang City, Liaoning Province. He was unlawfully detained on September 10, 1999 by police. Later, his family bailed him out with a 2,000-Yuan "deposit." In June 2000, he was once again detained for 15 days without any formal charges.

On December 13, 2000, he was arrested after going to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. He suffered 70 days of persecution in a detention centre and the police confiscated the outrageous sum of 10,600 Yuan he had carried with him [the average monthly income for an urban worker in China is 500 Yuan].

On February 21, 2001, he was sent to Dandong City Forced Labour Camp for 2 years of forced labour. He suffered all kinds of inhuman treatment there. He was released due to his extremely poor physical condition. Shortly after his release, police officers from the local station began to frequently harass him at home. Having suffered serious physical and mental tortures, Zhao Kaisheng's health continuously deteriorated. Sadly, he died on April 23, 2002.
