Ms. Jiang Jieyu from Sichuan Province, Died from Torture at Forced Labour Camp

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Jiang Jieyu from Pi County, Sichuan Province, went to Beijing twice to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong and was persecuted many times. When she was incarcerated in the Zizhong County Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp, she was not sent home until she had been tortured to the brink of death and had lost consciousness. She died in late 2003.

Ms. Jiang Jieyu, 50 years old, was a villager in the Xinming Commune in Pi County, Chengdu City. She had many illnesses before she learned Falun Gong, including serious anemia. She became healthy soon after she started the practice in 1998. On February 24, 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, but was detained and sent to the Pi County Brainwashing Centre. She protested with a hunger strike and escaped from the brainwashing centre. In February 2001 she was arrested and taken to the town government. She was forced to pay 5,000 yuan (1) on February 17 and was again sent to the Brainwashing Centre for further persecution. The authorities did not release her until they had extorted another 2,000 yuan.

In November 2001, Ms. Jiang went to Beijing for the second time to validate Dafa. She was again arrested and sent to one year of forced labour. She suffered various brutal tortures in the Zizhong County Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp, including injections that damage the central nervous system. The authorities did not send her home until she had been tortured to brink of death and was unconscious. She died in late 2003.
