Ms. Wang Dongxia was a 41-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. She had been detained three times after July 20, 1999, and twice sentenced to forced labour because she firmly cultivated Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance. Ms. Wang Dongxia was tortured in Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp until she was severely ill and could not walk. She died on February 15, 2005.
On December 13, 2002, a Jiamusi City "610 Office" agent and police stormed into Ms. Wang Dongxia's home. They abducted her, and took eight hundred yuan (1) in cash and a mobile phone from her husband's pocket. Police beat her up in the police station forced her to stand on the cement floor in bare feet, deprived her of sleep and made her sit with her hands cuffed behind her all night. After this they sent her to the detention centre.
On January 6, 2003, police sent Ms. Wang Dongxia and several other Falun Dafa practitioners to Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp. Upon arriving there, all Falun Dafa practitioners were cuffed to their beds and forced to go through brainwashing sessions.
Ms. Wang Dongjia endured numerous tortures inside the labour camp, such as being forced to sit on a cable spindle(2) for a long time. This torture made her very weak. She was sick with tuberculosis and so thin it was as if there were only skin and bone left. The labour camp was afraid of being responsible for her death so they had her family pick her up in September 2004. When her family went to pick her up, she could not walk. They had to carry her back home.
Ms. Wang Dongxia never recovered after returning home. She often had a fever, and was finally sent to a hospital at a cost one thousand yuan per day. She died on February 15, 2005.
Note:
(1) "Yuan" is the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China.
(2) To force Falun Dafa practitioners to give up their practice, Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp used cable spindles as instruments of torture and called it "sitting on a little stool." See photo and more explanation of cable spindle at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2003/10/29/41751.html
