Elderly practitioner Zou Yukun from Wuhan City in Hubei Province, who was frequently harassed and forced to undergo brainwashing, died as a result of the persecution on September 6, 2004.
Mr. Zou Yukun, 73 years old, had a weak, ill body before practising Falun Gong. After starting to practise Falun Gong, not only did his health recover, but his mentality also improved. For a long time, he was harassed by "610 Office" (1) agents from Wuhan City. Often these people would come to his home to try to brainwash him. Many times, Zou Yukun was forced to read articles and look at pictures that framed and slandered Falun Gong, and then write a "repentance statement" (2). When Zou Yukun would not listen or comply, the 610 office agents threatened to send him to brainwashing classes.
On September 3 and 4, 2004, 610 Office personnel harassed Zou Yukun for two days straight, forcing him to write a "guarantee statement" (3). They threatened to come every day unless he wrote these statements to renounce his belief in Falun Dafa.
On the morning of September 5, when Zou Yukun went out, the community watch informed the 610 Office. Not long afterwards, Zou Yukun was beaten to the ground by 610 Office personnel. Then on September 6, he passed away. The doctor said that his cerebrum was inflamed, and his brain suffered massive internal bleeding.
Note:
(1) "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
(2) Repentance Statement: In this statement the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practising Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.
(3) "Guarantee Statement": A statement to declare that one is remorseful for practising Falun Gong and guarantees not to practise Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.
