• 63-Year-Old Mr. Mei Chunfu Dies as a Result of Persecution

  2010-03-28
  Mr. Mei went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in October 1999. The police arrested and detained him in the Qi County Detention Centre. The guards tortured him with tightening the ropes and ankle shackles; they punched and kicked him, locked him up in a small cell, and deprived him of drinking water. Because Mr. Mei persisted in practising his faith and did not accept the brainwashing, the guards locked his shackles together with handcuffs, which meant that he could not stand up or sit down, and he had to stay in a very painful bent position. In 2004, Mr. Mei was sentenced to three years of forced labour in the Kaifeng City Forced Labour Camp. The persecution left him ill and weak. After his release, the police never left him in peace, and kept harassing him at home. Mr. Mei never fully recovered, and died in 2009.
