Mr. Yang Guiquan, 45, lived in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province. At around 7:00 p.m. on June 20th, 2009, he was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong in a shopping mall when he was reportedly arrested by officers from the political security office of the Haizhou District Police Department. Mr. Yang shouted, "Falun Gong is good!" The police dragged him into their vehicle, interrogated him overnight in the department compound, and locked him up in the Xindi Detention Centre.
His family went to request his release but the police refused their request. Mr. Yang began a hunger strike when he entered the detention centre, and was brutally force-fed by the guards. His family requested to have him released multiple times, but the requests were all denied and the family was deprived of their right to visit him.
On July 5th, 2009, Mr. Yang appeared to be very ill, and was taken for emergency treatment to the Fuxin City Mining General Hospital, where he died at 3:00 p.m. on the same day. His family was notified that his "death was due to a heart attack" at 8:00 p.m., five hours after his death.
