Persecution Suffered by Mr. Zheng Fangjun Prior to His Death

He became so weak that he was always exhausted and had trouble breathing. Zheng Fengjun died on July 21st, 2009. -
Recounting the Persecution that Liu Zhimei Suffered During Her Time at the Beijing Detention Centre
2010-03-14Falun Gong practitioner Liu Zhimei, 20, was detained at Beijing Detention Centre. Once, Ms. Liu went with the guards to be interrogated. However, she didn't return until two months later. The cell she was locked in was extremely small, with enough space for only a bed and a toilet. She wasn't allowed to change her clothes or take a shower during those two months. There was a big camera on the ceiling to monitor her around the clock. The area she was confined in was full of similar small cells and she heard painful screams from fellow inmates being tortured. I recently heard that Liu Zhimei suffered a mental breakdown, and I felt very sad.
