Practitioner Ms. Peng Donglian of Li County, Changde, Hunan Province died at the Li County Detention Centre just eleven days after her arrest.
Ms. Peng, 58, was a retired accountant from the Li County Farming Machinery Company.
Police took Ms. Peng into custody at her home without a warrant on November 9th. This was her third arrest since the Chinese Communist Party began the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in 1999. She was held at the Li County Detention Centre and her family was denied visitation.
Nine days later, on November 18th, her family received notification of the arrest. Two days later, on November 20th, police informed the family that Ms. Peng had died in the afternoon.
Her family rushed to the detention centre and saw her body. There were blue and purple scars on the soles of her feet. Her body was warm when they touched her. Police told them that she died due to a heart attack. However, she did not have any history of heart disease and she was in good health when she was arrested.
That day, four hundred officers surrounded the detention centre and the funeral home in the county.
At 1:00 a.m. on November 26th, her body was cremated under police orders.
According to an insider, Ms. Peng was tortured during her detention. Autopsy results showed that her heart was ruptured, and lots of blood filled her abdominal cavity.
