Five Dafa Practitioners in Liaoning Province, Heilongjiang Province, and Hebei Province Passed Away as a Result of Being Persecuted

Ms. Wang Shuyan was a forty-seven-year-old practitioner in Dalian City, Liaoning Province who suffered from many diseases before she began practising Falun Gong. Through the practice, she recovered from all of them. Since the persecution of Falun Gong began, criminal officials from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regularly came to her home, harassed her, and stayed there to monitor her. Her mind and body suffered greatly under the pressure. In the spring of 2002, Ms. Wang was detained by local police and imprisoned in a detention centre for two weeks. After that, she continued to be constantly harassed. Ms. Wang passed away on October 23rd, 2005.

Mr. Li Zhiming was a forty-two-year-old employee at Farm No. 854, Heilongjiang Province. Since he persisted in practising Falun Dafa, he was arrested by the Public Security Division of the Railway Bureau in Mudanjiang City and had more than ten thousand yuan¹ extorted from him as a so-called "fine." He was traumatised by the whole ordeal and soon after he was taken to the hospital. He passed away on October 1st, 2005.

Seventy-three-year-old Guo Haitang was a retired worker from the Yingchun bus station of Hulin City, Heilongjiang Province. For practising Falun Dafa, his wife was detained and persecuted many times.

He passed away in February of 2004.

On February 10th, 2001, he and his wife, Ms. Yue Xinqin (also a practitioner), were reported by a security guard when they were handing out materials exposing the persecution in Baolongcan supermarket, Huidi village. Police from the local station took Mr. Cheng to the Second Detention Centre of Shijiazhuang City and imprisoned him there for eighteen days. He was forced to work for more than ten hours every day and had to sleep on a cold concrete floor. His health quickly deteriorated. When he came home he could no longer walk and had to rely on crutches.
