Ms Zhou Qianzhu Tortured to Death in Guizhou Women's Labour Camp

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhou Qianzhu, 44, died from torture suffered in Guizhou Women Labour Camp in October, 2004.

Since Jiang Zemin started the persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999, Ms. Zhou has firmly kept her faith. Because of this, she was detained many times, but she never gave up her belief despite threats and pressure from the police. For this reason, she was treated as a high profile practitioner. In 2003, after the local "610 Office" arrested her, they sentenced her to the Guizhou Women's Labour Camp, where she went through brutal brainwashing sessions. She was inhumanly tortured, and severely debilitated, both psychologically and physically. She died in October 2004 in the Camp.

Ms. Zhou's husband and their child are not Falun Dafa practitioners. They could not bear the overwhelming pressure and constant harassment, and left the area to be as far away from the situation as they could.
