Ms. Peng Chunrong was a Dafa practitioner living in Baofeng Village, Changshou District, Chongqing City. On February 19, 2004, she was abducted by plainclothes police while clarifying the truth in Duzhou Town. The police first took her to the Duzhou Town Police Station. The Duzhou Town government took this opportunity to intimidate and extort money from Peng's husband, saying that Peng would be released if he turned in several thousand Yuan. Peng's family lives a very poor life and didn't have any money. Seeing no hope to extort money, the authorities sent Peng to the town brainwashing class, where she was subjected to inhuman torture. As a result, Peng was in critical condition. Not wanting to take the responsibility, the brainwashing class transferred her back to the town government. Early one morning in mid-April of 2004, around 4:00 a.m., the police tortured Peng to death in a courtroom close to the town police station. At 7:00 a.m., the police called 120 emergency services, pretending to offer emergency rescue.
After Peng's death was disclosed, the people in the neighbouring areas condemned the Duzhou Town government for killing an innocent woman.
Later, when an autopsy was performed on Peng, her family members were not allowed to be present. Her family requested to examine her body themselves, but was denied this request by officials Cheng Yi, Huang Zhengqiao and Tang Xianming. Soon afterward, they cremated Peng's body despite strong opposition from her family.
Peng was a very kindhearted woman and she often helped fellow villagers with household chores. People in the neighbouring area knew her as a good person. Learning of her death, they were all shocked. They went to the town government to protest the mistreatment of her for 3 days. Under pressure, the town government agreed to compensate Peng's family 6,000 yuan, and reduce her 8-year-old child's school tuition by half. Peng's brother-in-law is a disabled person and he was also given partial benefits.
