Information about Three Dafa Practitioners in Hebei, Shandong and Shaanxi Provinces Who Died Recently Due to the Persecution

Ms. Wang Peiran of Boye County, Hebei Province

Ms. Wang Peiran, 56 years old, lived in Nanyi Village of Boye County in Hebei Province. She started practising Falun Dafa in March 1997. Before practising cultivation, Ms. Wang suffered from serious diabetes; after she started to practise, all of her symptoms disappeared. After the persecution started on July 20th, 1999, Ms. Wang was arrested and fined many times. During those seven years, the county Public Security Bureau, National Security Brigade and the rural police station never stopped harassing her. In May 2006, police officer Hu Zhiguang from the National Security Brigade led five people and broke into her house again. They ransacked the house and took away Wang Peiran's Dafa books, plus some informational materials about Dafa. Ms. Wang was mentally traumatised by the relentless persecution, and passed away on August 20th, 2006.

Ms. Wang Ying from Zhucheng, Shandong Province

Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Ying from Shandong Province was arrested, detained, and sent to a labour camp for a two-year term in May 2006. She continued to suffer persecution at Wangcun Labour Camp. An old illness that she had developed before starting cultivation re-emerged, and Ms. Wang died on August 7th.

Wang Ying

Wang Ying, 48 years old, lived in Shangcheng, Mizhou, Zhucheng. On May 5th, 2006, while she speaking to people about the facts of Falun Dafa with a fellow practitioner, she was arrested by the Mengtuan police. After being detained at Zhucheng Detention Centre for one month, Ms. Wang was sentenced to a labour camp for a three-year term. On June 9th, 2006, she was sent to Wangcun Labour Camp in Shandong Province, where she continued to suffer persecution.

During the detention, Wang Ying suffered serious persecution both physically and mentally. To achieve the goal of "transforming¹" her, the persecutors at the labour camp did not allow Wang Ying to sleep, and forced her to write articles against Dafa. Collaborators² put pressure on her, and bombarded her mind with devious principles day and night. In such an evil environment, and under the mental and physical torture, Wang Ying's previous illness returned. Being afraid of taking the responsibility for her fragile condition, the labour camp had to finally release Wang Ying.

Upon returning home following months of horror,Wang Ying found that her husband's asthma had worsened and turned into emphysema. As a result of suffering tremendous mental and physical torture during this time, Wang Ying passed away on August 7th.

Ms. Dong Mingshu of Xi'an City

Ms. Dong Mingshu, who was 70 years old, lived at the family housing of Xi'an University of Electronics Science and Technology, Shaanxi Province. She learned Falun Dafa in January 1997, and was the former volunteer assistant at the practice site at Xi'an University of Electronics Science and Technology. After the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, Ms. Dong had been a target of the evil persecution. From 2001 to 2002, she was detained three times.

In the autumn of 2004, the local 610 Office³, together with the neighbourhood committee and police station, went to Dong Mingshu's home again, trying to arrest her. Her family argued with the officers. Dong Mingshu opened a window, and called out loudly "Falun Dafa is good!" The officers had to give up. From July 20th, 1999 to 2006, especially on every "sensitive date", the agents undertook long-term surveillance of Dong Mingshu. To avoid the harassment, Dong Mingshu had to leave home, going to Anhui Province and other areas. Her family was unable to live a normal life because of the persecution. On the evening of July 13th, 2006, Dong Mingshu went out to distribute leaflets exposing the persecution. She was struck by a car and passed away.
