Whether Older Practitioner Ms. Fu Shaozhen of Wuhan City Is Alive or Dead Is Unknown

Ms. Fu Shaozhen, 65 years old, is a Falun Gong practitioner in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. She was arrested on December 25th, 2007, by the Nanhu District local police station when she was distributing Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution. Holding up display boards in front of banners, her oldest daughter in Hong Kong called for help from the international community to save her mother, Ms. Fu.

The Chinese Communist government and the local government of Wuhan City were intimidated by her actions. The National Security Bureau talked to Ms. Fu's sister and brother-in-law and claimed that the government was willing to pay them for a trip to Hong Kong and Macao so that they could persuade Ms. Fu's daughter not to publicize the incident. It was also promised that the government would release Ms. Fu immediately after the 2008 Olympic games. However, after the Olympics, Ms. Fu was not released. Not only that, the families were not allowed to appeal and Ms. Fu was sentenced to a three-year prison term. She was transferred to Baofenglu Women's Prison.

Since Ms. Fu's arrest, her younger daughter has not been allowed to visit her, the reason being that Ms. Fu "does not cooperate."

Ms. Fu Shaozhen has been persecuted many times. After 1999, she was first imprisoned in the Hanjiang Region Zuminyi Public Health Centre and was forced to attend brainwashing sessions. Later, she was held in the following locations: the brainwashing centre in Wuhan City in the No. 1 Hospital (it was the first brainwashing centre in Wuhan City at the time), Wuhan City Jianghan Region Welfare Home brainwashing centre, Wuhan Dongxihu Region Erzhigou Woman's Education and Detention Centre, Wuhan No. 1 Women's Detention Centre, Wuhan Jianghan Region Erdaopeng Brainwashing Centre; and Wuhan City Hewan Region Forced Labour Camp. In 2001, due to brutal persecution in the Wunhan City Hewan Region Forced Labour Camp, she developed severe neurasthenia and was eventually released. After she was arrested on December 25th, 2007, and detained in the No. 7 department of the Wuhan City Public Security Bureau, she was then sentenced to a term of three years. She was since then sent to Baofenglu Women's Prison.
