Ms. Wang Yong, Middle School Teacher in Kunming City, in Critical Condition after Falling from Fifth Floor during Police Arrest

Ms. Wang Yong is a teacher in the Panlong District First Middle School in Kunming City, Yunnan Province. On June 24th, 2009, while fleeing from arrest, Ms. Wang fell from the fifth floor, which left her in critical condition.

The incident occurred around 4 p.m. at Ms. Wang's temporary residence, an apartment on the fifth floor of a building near the Kunming City East Railroad Station. At that time, the Director of the Kunming City Xishan Police Department Domestic Security Section, Qiu Xueyan, led officers in surrounding the apartment. Two practitioners, Ms. Deng Zhixu and Ms. Ji Honglian, who were visiting Ms. Wang, were arrested at the scene. While fleeing from arrest, Ms. Wang fell from the fifth floor. Police took her to the Kunming City 43rd Hospital. She suffered three broken ribs, broken sternum, and a fracture in her right arm. Her left side was heavily bruised. She was unable to move and speaking took tremendous effort.

Her family was not informed until the day after. Officers threatened her family not to disclose her situation; otherwise, her husband's job, her family's safety and her child's college enrolment would be at stake.

Ms. Wang moved to the apartment to avoid police harassment at the end of April after she escaped another arrest. On April 21st, 2009, she and practitioners Ms. Zhang Xiuying, Ms. Dong Guifen, and Ms. Chen Xiaoheng visited Ms. Ling Li at home. They were all arrested later that day. Ms. Wang was arrested at school but managed to escape.
