Three Falun Dafa Practitioners Die Due to Persecution in Liaoning, Gansu, and Jilin Provinces

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Fan Weiwei, 73, lived in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. After she started practising Falun Dafa in 1996, her illnesses were cured. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Dafa, policemen often harassed her at her home, and she had to leave home to avoid being arrested. In 2000, she was arrested in Beipiao City, and detained in the Dabei Prison in Shenyang City. She suffered from constipation, but the guards did not allow her family to send remedies to her. Eventually she developed colon cancer. In December 2005, her cancer reached the late stage, and spread to all her organs. She was as thin as a skeleton, and died six days after being bailed out on medical parole on December 12th, 2005.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Cao Fengying, 62, lived in Jinchang City, Gansu Province. She went to Beijing twice to appeal, was detained twice in the Jinchang City Drug Rehabilitation Centre, and was later transferred to the Jinchang City Detention Centre. She went on hunger strike to protest the persecution. Her family paid two thousand yuan¹ to bail her out, but policemen from the Guangchang Street Station often came to her door to harass and threaten her. She had been forced to put her fingerprint on a guarantee statement promising to stop Falun Gong practice. She died six months later on January 28th, 2004.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Xie Lianrong, 23, lived in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province. She started practising Falun Dafa in August 1994. She went to Beijing to appeal on April 25th, 1999, and was detained for a month. In October 2000, she was sent for two years of forced labour. The local police kept harassing her after she was released, causing both her mental and physical health to be severely damaged. She died on May 7th, 2006.
