Ms. Ji Xiulan

Before Ms. Ji Xiulan started to practise Falun Gong in 1997, she had suffered coronary heart disease, nervous headaches, and sciatica. After practising Falun Gong for three to four months, all those problems disappeared. She benefited greatly and deeply felt the wonder of Falun Dafa, so she firmly believed in Dafa.

On July 20th, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party and Jiang Zemin started to persecute Falun Gong. In order to stand up for her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance," to be a good person, and to safeguard human rights, Ms. Ji went to Beijing in October 1999 and January 2000 to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. She was arrested by the police, then detained in the Anqiu Detention Centre. Officers at the Jiage Police Station extorted 10,000 yuan¹ in cash from her.

At the end of June 2000, Ms. Ji again went to Beijing to appeal, this time on foot, but she was detained again. In July 2000 her husband was sent to a forced labour camp because he refused to give up his belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance."

After her husband was sent to the labour camp, Ms. Ji was left to take care of their three children. At the same time, policemen Cheng Xiwen and Li Zicheng from the Jiage Police Station of the Anqiu Police Department continued to harass and threaten her and attempted to brainwash her. Ms. Ji suffered a great deal both mentally and physically, and sadly, she passed away in May 2003.
