Beijing's Daxing Forced Labour Camp Guilty of Causing Death of Female Practitioner

Ms Dong Cuifang was tortured to death on March 20, 2003. At the time of her death, her body was covered with wounds and there was a gruesome hole in her skull!

Ms Dong Cuifang, a 29 year old resident of Gaocheng City, Hebei Province, started to practise Falun Dafa in 1995 while she was a student at a medical university in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. After the persecution of Dafa began on July 20, 1999, she went to Beijing many times to appeal for Falun Dafa. As a result, she was frequently harassed by the local police, forced to leave home to avoid further persecution and illegal arrest in early 2001. With the help of some Beijing practitioners, she rented a house with other practitioners made homeless by the persecution, and together continued clarifying the truth about the persecution against Falun Dafa.

In the spring of 2002, Ms. Dong was reported to the police while distributing Dafa truth-clarification materials. She was arrested and detained at Daxing Forced Labour Camp in Beijing. While in detention, she was subjected to exhaustive inhuman tortures and she died on March 20, 2003.

At the time of her death, her entire body was covered with wounds and there was a hole in her skull. It awaits investigation if a gun or other torture instrument had caused the hole in her skull.

After learning of her death, the Gaocheng City Police Department told her family that she died of a mental breakdown. They also said that after finding out she was sick, the labour camp sent her to the hospital, but she died 10 minutes after she arrived at the hospital.

At present, Ms. Dong's family is getting ready to bring a lawsuit against her murderers. We hope that kindhearted people can pay close attention and extend a helping hand to this matter. We also hope that the international community and human rights organisations can pay attention to this tragedy and help stop the brutal persecution of innocent people in China.

There are two labour camps in Daxing District, Beijing: Tuanhe Labour Camp and Xin'an Female Labour Camp. It is not clear which labour camp Dong Cuifang had been detained in.
