60 Year Old Lady Ms. Zhang Dabi Tortured to Death

Under the persecution of an unknown local detention centre and Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp in Chongqing City, practitioner Ms. Zhang Dabi died in July 2002.

Ms. Zhang Dabi, 60, was a family member of an employee at Chuanqi Factory in Shuangqiao District, Chongqing City. Since she started to practise Falun Gong, her breast cancer disappeared on its own without any medical treatment. As a determined Dafa practitioner, Ms. Zhang was abducted to a local detention centre, where she suffered from inhuman tortures that caused her entire body to swell. The local police tried to transfer her to Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp, but the labour camp discovered her health condition to be unacceptable and refused to take her in. [Based on Jiang Zemin's persecution policy, each forced labour camp gets a "death quota", or "the number of Falun Gong practitioners a forced labour camp is allowed to have die in the camp." Each forced labour camp is also rewarded for making a Falun Gong practitioner renounce his/her belief in Falun Gong. The camp officials did not want to forfeit one of their death quota numbers for a dying Falun Gong practitioner without obtaining their reward from making her renounce Falun Gong. Therefore, a dying Falun Gong practitioner, such as Ms. Zhang Dabi was at the time, was a highly undesirable case for the forced labour camp.] Nevertheless, the local police forced her into Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp, where she continued to suffer from brutal torture. When Ms. Zhang was at the brink of death, Maojiashan notified her family to pick her up in order to avoid legal consequences. Although Ms. Zhang was finally released from there, she was covered with injuries from the torture of the local detention centre and Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp, and was beyond medical help. She died in July 2002 at an unknown hospital in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.
