Ms. Yang Shujun was an engineer at the Fularji District Glass Factory in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province. One night in November 2004, Ms. Yang along with other practitioners put up over a hundred posters in many public spaces. The posters had "Falun Gong Is Good" or "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance Is Good" on them.
Police conducted a mass investigation and searched over forty practitioners' homes. Li Rui and other officers from the Fu District Domestic Section arrested over twenty practitioners including Ms. Yang. Many practitioners were tortured, and some were tortured to death.
Ms. Yang was tortured for seven days. The police burned her with cigarette butts, covered her head with plastic bags to nearly suffocate her, hung her by handcuffs, beat her, and injected her with drugs.
In April 2006, the Fu District Court sentenced Ms. Yang and fifteen other practitioners. Ms. Yang was sentenced to twelve years in prison. She went on a hunger strike to protest. Center directors Guo Zhengchuan and Zhou Changxu and guards Li Lijie, Ren Yuxia, and Zhang Jian subjected her to brutal force-feeding, cut her, beat her, and handcuffed and fettered her.
After guards put undisclosed drugs into her food and force-fed her, Ms. Yang suddenly developed a mental illness. She shouted loudly, lost memory, and was no longer able to care for herself. Her situation was desperate. Even though she suffered severe mental illness, the court refused to release her.
In June 2006, she was taken to the notorious Harbin Women's Prison. There she was repeatedly beaten and cut by other inmates, forced to stand for long hours, deprived of sleep, and locked up in a very small cell by herself.
After one-and-a-half-years of suffering, Ms. Yang's hair turned white, and she was hardly recognized by her friends who remembered her as a healthy, energetic lady in her early forties before she was arrested.
Ms. Yang was divorced six years ago. Practitioners have been asking to see her, but all their visitation requests have been denied.
