Other practitioners were trying to protect her from being taken away and demanded that the perpetrator be punished. Zheng Jie said ferociously, "In a moment, you will know the consequences!" A few minutes later, two male police officers came in. One of them was Gao Feng, the head of the prison's political division. They immediately began to beat the practitioners violently. A special group of 20 inmates who had been organized just to persecute Falun Gong practitioners also came in.

When the police tried to keep the family from seeing her body and preparing it for a funeral, the family asked for written documentation stating who it was that forbid them to see the body and the police had to relent.

  • Practitioner Ms. Long Ying Suffers at Hands of Police in Baimalong Labour Camp

    The Jiang Zemin regime has been bloodily persecuting those who believe in "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance." As human beings, practitioners also have limits to how much their human bodies can sustain. As a result, it is no surprise that some practitioners have suffered severe mental trauma and mental collapse, or hurt themselves after being subjected to constant terror and torture in the forced labour camps. These incidences in turn expose the degree of the brutality and inhumanity of the persecution.

    In the last four years, our family of five people have been detained and tortured numerous times just because we practise Falun Gong and are letting the public know about the illegal persecution against us which has harmed so many innocent people.

We hope that people around the world help bring Jiang to justice in the international court and end the persecution against innocent people!
