65-Year-Old Practitioner Ms. Sun Nianrong From Hebei Province Died from Persecution

Practitioner Ms. Sun Nianrong, a 65-year-old woman from Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, had been persecuted repeatedly. She was tortured by the police from Taoyuan Local Police Station for 78 hours before she died on April 7th, 2006 at the No. Five Division of the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp.

After the Chinese government started to persecute Falun Gong, Ms. Sun Nianrong went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities in order to stop the persecution. On September 30th, 1999, policeman Gao Dongxi and others, without showing any ID cards, arrested Ms. Sun and over 10 other practitioners and took them to the local police station. The police handcuffed Ms. Sun and the other practitioners on the staircase between the first and second floors of the local police station for three days and nights. In November police from the Jianda Local Police Station and the committee from Yanxi Community, Changan District went to Ms. Sun's company to force her employers to stop issuing her wages.

On May 12th, 2001, the police from the Taoyuan Local Police station arrested Ms. Sun and the chief handcuffed her to a metal window for two days. The police of the No. 4 Armed Police Division from the Changan local police station then took her to Xinle County Detention Centre, where she was imprisoned for 20 days.

On August 10th, policemen coerced Ms. Sun into going to the No. 1 Hospital and the No. 132 Hospital in Hebei Province, where staff would "examine" her body. After being fined 5,000 yuan¹, she was sentenced to a year of "reeducation through forced labour" and taken to the No. 5 Division in the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp.

Ms. Sun suffered tremendously in the No. 5 Division of the Shijiazhuang Labour Camp. After she was released, the officials frequently monitored and harassed her. In March 2003 the Changfeng Local Police Station extorted 3,000 yuan of her salary through her company.

Later, Ms. Sun's home was searched and she was taken to the brainwashing centre to be persecuted again. The police took her home after she went on a hunger strike for six days and. She suffered extremely both mentally and physically and passed away on April 7th, 2006.
