Mr. Hu Yongfeng, 69, was a Hunan Cili County resident and a retired staff member from Xiangtan University. He started the Falun Gong practice in 1996. In June 2000, he travelled to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. He was illegally arrested and charged with "disruption of social order," and was confined at the local Detention Centre for 15 days. After his release, the school department's "610 Office" (1) personnel placed him under house arrest. He was forced to undergo several brainwashing sessions conducted by the university.
Sometime around December 26, 2000, Hu Yongfeng was abducted by the Xiangtan University Security Police while he was walking along the street. He was taken to the newly opened Changsha re-education centre, where he was confined and forced to undergo re-education through hard labour. He was stripped of his party membership, and his retirement pension was suspended without any just cause.
A year later in 2002, after his release from the labour camp, the 610 Office officials at the school continually harassed and intimidated Mr. Hu, this time extending the harassment to include his wife, who is also a Falun Gong practitioner.
In late November 2004, Hu Yongfeng travelled to Changsha to visit his daughter. Within weeks of his visit, the family started receiving harassing phone calls from the 610 Office officials. The intimidation and harassment occurred several times per day, and severely disrupted and interfered with the family's life. Under this intimidation and pressure, the couple felt there was no choice but to hurriedly leave Changsha and return to Xiangtan University on December 13, 2004 , to inquire as to why the 610 Office was doing this. Hu Yongfeng died suddenly on the second day of their return at around noon.
