  • Four Falun Gong Practitioners in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province Died as a Result of Persecution

    Ms. Gu Xuejuan persisted in practising Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She spoke to people about the facts of Falun Dafa to her work colleagues. As a result, she was demoted, and her salary was reduced. After 2001, she was imprisoned in a local forced brainwashing centre twice. The torture she was subjected to caused hematochezia (bloody stools). The Wuxi City 610 Office forbade her from revealing her health condition to anyone, and prevented her from obtaining any medical treatment. As a result, the problem went untreated and therefore worsened. Her face and body became so swollen that they were deformed. She died during the Moon Festival in 2002, just after she was released.
