Mr. Zhou Zuofu from Jiangxi Province Died as a Result of the Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhou Zuofu, 57, was an employee of Ruichang City Linen Factory in Jiangxi Province. He began practising Falun Dafa in February 1997. After the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, he was persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party, and was arrested eight times by the police and the Ruichang City 610 Office¹. He was detained, subjected to brainwashing, and sentenced to forced labour.

From January 26th, 2001 to April 28th, 2001, Mr. Zhou was arrested seven times. He was detained in a brainwashing centre for three and a half months, and was sentenced to three years of forced labour. Mr. Zhou was severely tortured in the Majialong Labour Camp located in Jiujinag City. His weight dropped from 150 pounds to 90 pounds and he became extremely weak.

Even after the long-term torture, Mr. Zhou never changed his faith in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The guards put poison in his food, and then took him to Jiujiang City Fifth People's Hospital (for mental patients). The hospital refused to accept him. Mr. Zhou was taken back to Majialong Labour Camp. The ongoing tortures severely damaged his mind and body, causing him to suffer a short-term nervous breakdown.

On April 7th, 2003, Mr. Zhou was finally released home, but he could not recover from the injuries sustained over the years, and his condition got worse. He died on March 6th, 2007.
