Two Practitioners from Inner Mongolia, Were Persecuted to Death in 2003

Ms. Liu Guohua from a village near Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, remained steadfast and did not stop practising Falun Dafa despite severe persecution. She died in 2003 after being persecuted for two years. She was approximately thirty years old.

Between 2001 and 2002, Ms. Liu was sentenced twice to forced labour, but the forced labour camp rejected her both times because she was diagnosed with breast cancer. However, she was twice imprisoned in a Detention Centre. During her detention, local "610 Office"(1) Chief Wei Yong and his subordinates refused to release her. Only after her illness significantly worsened did they release Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu went twice to Beijing to appeal to the central government to stop persecuting Falun Dafa. Afterwards, to avoid arrest, she was forced into destitution and homelessness. She was also held at a Detention Centre for five months,

In the spring of 2003, the local "610 Office" twice captured Ms. Liu and imprisoned her. As a result of all the physical and mental torture, her cancer worsened, and Liu Guohua died in August 2003.

Forty-five-year-old practitioner Ms. Cui Guilan, also from Chifeng City, died from persecution in 2003. Before practising Falun Dafa, she had herniated discs and severe rheumatism, which caused her pain and much difficulty moving. After she starting practising in 1996, all of her illnesses disappeared. She too refused to renounce her practice of Falun Dafa.

Once the persecution began on July 20, 1999, local police officers and "610 Office" agents repeatedly harassed her and twice sent her to a brainwashing centre. After all these incidents, Ms. Cui Guilan developed breast cancer and left this world in 2003.
