Six Persecution-Related Deaths of Practitioners from Sichuan, Hebei, and Jilin Province

Ms. Song Jizhen, a practitioner from Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, began to practise Falun Dafa in 1997 when she still had many illnesses. She regained her mental and physical health after she began to practise. Personnel from various government agencies arrested her after the persecution started on July 20th, 1999. They also went to her home to harass and intimidate. Ms. Song suffered severely and died on December 15th, 2005.

Mr. Lu Bin, 50, was a practitioner from Zhuolu County, Hebei Province. He worked at the county's fertiliser plant but was fired from his job because he refused to give up Falun Dafa. When he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa in 2000, the government officials took him to the Shijingshan Police Station in Beijing and subjected him to cruel treatment. Both his mind and body suffered severely. As a result, his former illnesses recurred, and he died in the winter of 2002.

Ms. Zhang Jifeng, 64, was from Zhuolu County, Hebei Province. She was cured of many illnesses and became a completely healthy person after she started to practise Falun Dafa. Her cultivation environment was ruined after Jiang's regime began to persecute Falun Dafa in July 1999. Government personnel from both the village and the township harassed her continuously, causing her old illnesses to recur and her death on January 18th, 2005.

Ms. Ma Aiping, 23, was practitioner from Tonghua City, Jilin Province. She died of the persecution in March 2004. The details are still under investigation.

Mr. Hao Lianru, 65, was a practitioner from Baishan City, Jilin Province. The authorities constantly harassed him, and his wife died as a result last year. Tragically, in September 2005, Mr. Hao died, too.

Mr. Li Zhaoyou, a retired worker from Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province, suffered from severe pulmonary disease before he started to practise Falun Dafa and often coughed up blood. Many years of medical treatment had not been able to help his condition. After he began to practise Falun Gong, he no longer had to spend a penny on medicine. Not only was his illness controlled, but some of his white hair turned black again. When Jiang Zemin's regime began the systematic persecution of Falun Gong, personnel from the local police station often came to his home to intimidate him, trying to coerce him into giving up his Falun Dafa practice. Consequently, his old illness reappeared, and he died in 2000.
