On January 13th, 2006, another brutal case of persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners occurred in Shan County, Henan Province. Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Zhunli, 55, was arrested by the Shan County National Security Team and brutally tortured to death that same day. The police were afraid of being held responsible, so they threw Ms. Zhang out of a fourth-floor window, creating a cover-up to claim that Ms. Zhang committed suicide. After that, they sent Ms. Zhang's body to the No. 2 Hospital of Shan County for emergency treatment. In fact, Ms. Zhang was dead well before arriving at the hospital.

On January 8th, 2006, the Shan County National Security Team suddenly conducted illegal searches of about 20 Dafa practitioners' homes in the county, confiscated their personal belongings and arrested them. The morning of January 13th, the police broke into Ms. Zhang Zhunli's home, illegally searched her home and took away some Dafa books and Teacher Li's articles, as well as her children's computers. They then forcibly took Ms. Zhang to the fourth floor of the National Security Building in Shan County. They violently interrogated Ms. Zhang to find out the source of the Dafa books and articles.

Ms. Zhang firmly refused the lawless interrogators' irrational requests. In order to achieve their goal, the police brutally tortured her to death. The security team fabricated the suicide cover-up story and refused to inform Ms. Zhang's family.

The following day when Ms. Zhang Zhunli's family went to the National Security Building to enquire about her situation, the police claimed that Ms. Zhang had "committed suicide by jumping from the building" and that they had sent her to the hospital. When Ms. Zhang's family rushed to the hospital, all they saw was her body, covered in wounds. Ms. Zhang's family (non-practitioners) was extremely grieved and angry. In order to cover up this case, the national security team tried to negotiate with Ms. Zhang's family and wanted to quiet their complaints with a payment of 160,000 yuan1. Ms. Zhang's family angrily refused it.

On January 15th, Ms. Zhang's family wore funeral clothes and displayed several banners, which read "Be A Good Person, Get Arrested" and "Return My Mother" in the busiest area of Shan County, which attracted people's attention. People enquired about what had happened. In order to cover up their crimes, the Shan County Police Department dispatched more than 60 policemen and arrested all of the late Ms. Zhang's protesting family members. In addition, they quickly cremated Ms. Zhang's body in order to destroy the evidence.

It was reported that the police who were directly involved in this incident included Zhang Yahui, Lu Fei and Kang Zhuansen.
