• 34-Year-Old Ms. Zhang Mingyi Died as a Result of Brutal Treatment in Zhejiang Women's Prison

  2007-12-08
  Ms. Zhang Mingyi was a Falun Gong practitioner. Seeing that the local people did not know the truth about Falun Gong, she informed people about the persecution and dispelled the state propaganda attacking the practice. Later, people who did not know the truth reported her, and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials made her suffer for more than two years in the Zhejiang Province Women's Prison. Her health deteriorated due to the long term brutal treatment in the prison. She was constantly feverish, and the prison doctor injected some unknown drug into her, causing her to become extremely weak and quickly lose weight. After returning home, the doctor diagnosed her with hemolytic anaemia, hepatitis B and C. She died on August 29th, 2007, at only 34 years old.
