Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Xiuhua from Beijing died as a result of torture at the Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. She died on July 15th, 2005. The authorities from the Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City tortured Wang Xiuhua until she was at the brink of death. They then demanded that her family take her home on June 22nd, 2005. By then Wang Xiuhua exhibited symptoms of severe damage to the nervous system: blank stare, inability to speak or to urinate, immobility and loss of feeling in the lower body. Her family rushed her to a hospital but she could not be revived. Ms. Wang died in the hospital three weeks after being released from the labour camp.
Wang Xiuhua was 51 years old and lived in the Mentougou District in Beijing. On October 30th, 2004, Wang Xiuhua and another practitioner, Liu Zhenxia, were arrested. The perpetrators were police from the National Security Section of the Mentougou District Police Department. The arrests occurred when the practitioners were distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. The police ransacked the practitioners' homes and sentenced them to two years of forced labour. On November 25th, 2004, Wang Xiuhua was taken away and sent to the Tuanhe Dispatch Division in Beijing. In mid-December 2004 she was transferred to Group 2, Division 6 at the Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province.
On June 22nd, 2005, authorities from the Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City phoned Wang Xiuhua's family and told them that Wang Xiuhua had been diagnosed with "intestinal obstruction" and "electrolyte abnormalities" and told her family to take her home. When her family saw Wang Xiuhua, she couldn't think or respond clearly; she had a blank look on her face and could not move her arms or legs. The labour camp authorities forced her family to take her home.
Her family rushed Ms. Wang to the hospital for emergency treatment. Aside from urinary retention, Wang Xiuhua, suffered from nausea and vomiting, and showed abnormalities such as inability to think clearly, blank stare, inability to speak, immobility of arms and legs, loss of feeling of the lower body, all of which are typical symptoms of severe nerve damage.
Her symptoms were alleviated through medical treatment and she stopped vomiting; however, she still had urinary retention and had to stay on a catheter, and the damage to her central nervous system did not improve. On July 15th Ms. Wang suddenly stopped breathing and resuscitation efforts failed.
The units responsible for Wang Xiuhua's death include the Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, the Tuanhe Dispatch Division for Persons Undergoing Labour Reeducation, and the National Security Section of the Mentougou District Police Department in Beijing and the Custody Centre.
