Ms. Zhou Yafang resided in Hengyang City, Hunan Province. She was only thirty years old when she died. Simply for practising Falun Gong, Zhou Yafang was detained for over two years by the Qidong County Public Security Bureau.
Ms. Zhou was beaten by the labour camp guards. As a result of the torture, she lost consciousness. She was beaten until her face was shapeless and the torture eventually reduced her to an emaciated shell. She was on the verge of dying.
When she was released, she could hardly take care of herself and rendered extremely feeble physically. Twice her family sent her to the hospital emergency room. The first time, she had to spend over ten thousand yuan before she could finally be discharged from the hospital. However, her health situation still did not improve. Her family again sent her to the emergency room. Nonetheless, since she had been tortured so severely in detention, she died in her home at the end of September 2004. The people directly responsible are being investigated.
The key people responsible for persecuting the practitioners at Qidong County include:
He Zhengrong, the Section Chief of the Political and Security Section of Qidong Public Security Bureau. He is the head who persecutes Falun Gong in Qidong City. Almost all the practitioners from Qidong City who have been arrested (over 200 instances) have been tortured by him. He is notorious for his cruelty, subjecting practitioners to tortures such as "beating up the practitioners' whole body", "Bei Baojian (wearing a sword)", "Diao Banbianzhu (hanging one side of the body like a pig)", "Sitting on a Tiger Bench", "Needle piercing ten fingers" "Violent force-feeding with spicy soup" etc.
Zhou Youzhong, the Deputy Director of Qidong Detention Centre, and is He Zhengrong's father-in-law. He is very active in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, using all kinds of wooden clubs and bamboo whips to beat practitioners
Zhou Daosheng, a prison guard of the Qidong County Detention Centre, who viciously beats practitioners with a weapon full of urine and faeces.
