On September 10, 2002, which is Teacher's Day, she and her husband Yang Zhanming were arrested while clarifying the facts of the persecution of Dafa to people. They were later detained at the Fengtai Detention Centre, Beijing. On June 11, 2003, she was sent to a forced labour camp. On June 22, 2003, calling it a "sudden death," and denying responsibility, the authorities told her family that Wu Yao had passed away.
Anyone who met Wu Yao would admit that she was a kind and dignified person. Upon her arrest, she went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal arrest and treatment. The Detention Centre made use of the violent criminals to force-feed her. Criminals brutally punched her face, pried open her mouth, and pinched her breasts and private parts. Eleven days later, Wu stopped her hunger strike and was dragged to another other cell with shackles on her feet.
Both Wu Yao and her husband Yang Zhanming were illegally sentenced to two years in a forced labour camp. While being detained, she used Dafa as the standard to judge what she should do, and looked at her own self for problems. Fellow Dafa practitioners enjoyed sharing experiences with her. Her kindness moved the people around her, and even many guards and criminals called her "Teacher Wu" in a kindly manner. Many people liked to listen to her clarification of Dafa truths.
She was sent to the forced labour camp twice but the camp refused to accept her in both cases. The second time before she was sent, she was forcibly injected with blood pressure reduction medicine. At the time, the city officers planned to release her but asked her to write a "Guarantee" to give up her Dafa practice. She denied the unreasonable demand without hesitation.
During the "SARS" period, the detention centre required each person to measure his or her body temperature three times a day. She refused because she believed that a Dafa practitioner would not become infected by SARS, and she used this chance to clarify the truth of Dafa to people. Before she attained Dafa, she was very weak and was almost paralyzed in bed. It was Dafa that empowered her to go back to her teaching position.
When facing the brutality of the guards, she always treated them kindly. She also told them that wrongdoing would create retribution. Criminals, who have long been incarcerated there admitted the guards had changed. They started treating Falun Gong practitioners and criminals not as viciously as they had before. Her kindness reminded fellow Dafa practitioners around her of their own shortcomings.
On the day when Wu was sent to the forced labour camp, she was tortured by vicious police officers because she refused to cooperate. Her lower back was badly hurt after police officers struck her there repeatedly with their elbows. She could not even stand up and was in a pitiful state. Ten days later, Wu died from the horrific torture. Her husband, Yang Zhanming, is still being detained at the forced labour camp.
