Ms. Ma Yongju Is Persecuted for Her Belief in Falun Gong
2011-08-03
Before she began practising Falun Gong, Ms. Ma Yongju's health was so poor that she didn't have enough strength to walk. Falun Gong improved her health dramatically. In 2000, Ms. Ma went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong, a freedom granted in China's Constitution, but was arrested and sent back to her hometown where she was locked up for 15 days. In 2002, Ms. Ma was sentenced to three years of forced labour for distributing materials about the persecution of Falun Gong. In 2009, she was sent to a forced labour camp for a second time. She was deprived of sleep and forced to stand still for extended times to the point that her leg muscles started to shrink. Warden Yuan Fang instructed inmates to poison Ms. Ma's food, causing her to seriously vomit three times within a day. -
