• Chongqing Practitioner Ms. Wang Yan Persecuted

  2008-06-15
  Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officers found out that Ms. Wang Yan, 33, had delivered Falun Gong articles to fellow practitioners, so she was arrested and interrogated and later sent to a brainwashing centre. In December 2000, Ms. Wang Yan was sentenced to four years because she and other practitioners made and hung banners exposing the persecution of Falun Gong. In October 2001, a guard tortured her for a week by handcuffing her with one leg between her arms. She appealed for justice to the court, but the CCP officers refused her appeal. In 2004 Ms. Wang was dismissed from her job. She later left home to avoid further persecution.
