Ms. Qi Miaozhi from Henan Province Passed Away under Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Qi Miaozhi from Yanshi City, Henan Province, was locked in Shibalihe Labour Camp in Zhengzhou City simply because she firmly cultivated Falun Dafa. After being released from the labour camp, she was continually harassed. She passed away around February or March of 2004.

Ms. Qi Miaozhi, 48, lived in Xiguanmao Village, Fudian Town, Yanshi City, Henan Province. Ms. Qi started cultivating Falun Dafa in the autumn of 1998. The practice enabled her to become very compassionate. She stopped bickering with others, stopped fighting with her husband, and enjoyed peaceful relationships with her neighbours and extended family. Her physical body was free from ailments and she felt very energetic.

Ms. Qi Mioazhi was very firm in her cultivation. After July 20th, 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa, but was arrested and taken back by the police. The police tried to force her give up her faith. Guangmao Village Head Shi Baoqing led a group of village heads to take turns beating her. Ms. Qi passed out from the pain, but she did not betray her belief in Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance. She was tied up and displayed on a truck bed, which drove around the village to publicly humiliate her. She was also sentenced to two years of forced labour.

While detained in Shibalihe Labour Camp in Zhengzhou City, she endured all sorts of torture. Her body became very weak from the torture and she could not walk. She was sent home on medical parole, but the Fudian Town 610 Office¹ kept close watch on her 24 hours a day, which created a huge pressure on her and her family. Her children were forced to quit school and go out of town to do manual labour. Ms. Qi was later forced to leave home to avoid being arrested again. The Fudian Town 610 Office kept sending people to check on her home and harass her family. In the spring of 2004, perpetrators from the 610 Office ransacked her home and threatened her family. Ms. Qi Miaozhi died between February and March of 2004.
