Three Falun Dafa Practitioners from Guangdong, Hebei, and Hubei Provinces Die as a Result of Persecution

Ms. Pang Xiulan, 61, worked for Chexi Rope Factory of Dongfanghong Farm in Zhanjiang City, Guandong Province. She started practising Falun Dafa in March 1997. Before cultivation, she suffered from many illnesses and serious diabetes. After cultivating, all of her illnesses disappeared. She used her personal experiences and her health improvement to validate the miraculous healing effects of Falun Dafa. In late January 2002, she went to her hometown in Nanning City, Guangxi Province to appeal. After she returned to her work unit three days later, someone from her hometown reported her to the authorities. On January 30th, 2002, the police department in Nanning City sent six people to Pang Xiulan's residence to arrest her. She was sentenced to two years of forced labour. She suffered severe and cruel persecution at the women's forced labour camp and had a relapse of her diabetes. In October 2002, she was sent back to her work unit and the persecution continued. On April 28th, 2006, she died as a result of the persecution.

Ms. Li Fengrong, 55, was a worker at the Education Department of Yanshan County, Hebei Province. She started Falun Dafa cultivation in 1996. She soon recovered from many of her illnesses. In late 2000, she was staying at a hotel in Beijing and was asked by the police if she practised Falun Gong. She was then sent back to Yanshan County, where she was locked up at her work unit for many days and was subsequently fired. Once in 2001, she went to visit her classmate Wang Taichang (who was holding the post of Secretary of the County Politics and Law Committee) and explain the facts about Falun Dafa. Wang Taichang's family members reported her to the authorities and she was thus arrested and taken to the police station. However, she managed to escape. Thereafter, the lawless personnel came to her residence to harass her many times. She was therefore forced to leave home and go from place to place for a long period of time. After she returned home on October 2nd, 2006, she suddenly died after suffering a stroke.

Peng Shunxi, 73, was a Falun Dafa practitioner living in Wuchang County in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. She started cultivating in Falun Dafa in 1996. Before cultivation she suffered from many illnesses. Since starting the practice she soon recovered from her illnesses. After July 20th, 1999, as Jiang Zemin's regime persecuted practitioners, the police went to her residence to force her to write a guarantee statement promising to stop practising Falun Gong. She resisted the persecution and did not cooperate with the authorities. She had steadfast faith in Dafa, so people were sent to monitor and persecute her. As a result of the prolonged periods of harassment and persecution, her health took a bad turn and she passed away on September 15th, 2006.
