  • Ms. Zhang Guiqin Developed Advanced Bone Marrow Cancer As a Result of Persecution in Heilongjiang Women's Prison

    Because I cultivated Falun Dafa, and strove to be a good person, I was detained in Heilongjiang Women's Prison for four years and suffered all kinds of persecution. Guards taped practitioners mouths to stop us from crying out and persecuted us with the torture, "handcuffed behind the back". Since that day I started to experience difficulty in walking and had pain in my lower back and legs. People in the prison hospital saw that I was seriously ill and decided to take me to be examined in a hospital outside of the prison. After examination the results were as follows: old bone fracture, bone marrow cancer and osteoporosis. They said I was in the last stages of cancer and needed two people to take care of me.
