After Days of Torture, Anhui Province Female Dafa Practitioner Dies

Dafa practitioner Ms. Mei Kanzhu, over 50, was a retired teacher in Chengguan Town, Huoshan County, Anhui Province. In mid-April 2003, she was reported to police while distributing truth clarification materials among her students, and arrested by the Huoshan County Police Department. Several days later, she was sent to the Liuan Detention Centre, where she was tortured to death in late April. The details await further investigation.

The vicious thugs at Huoshan County Police Department actively participate in the indiscriminate persecution of Dafa practitioners. Once, six practitioners were illegally sentenced to forced labour only because some practitioners went to Beijing to appeal. Even practitioners who did not go to Beijing were sentenced to forced labour.

Because of its efforts in the persecution, Huoshan County Police Department was awarded "Outstanding Work Unit" by Jiang's regime. Zhao Fansong, a first division chief at Huoshan Police Department is very malicious. Other thugs at Liuan County Police Department, including Zhang Qun and Pan Jun, and the politics and law committee secretary Chen Changguo, are also malevolent participants in the persecution.
