The Tragic Story of Practitioner Mr. Tang Yi's Death
2011-07-25
Mr. Tang Yi was sent to the Xishanping Forced Labour Camp for a long period of time because of practising Falun Gong. He was released in November 2008 after being diagnosed with bone tuberculosis. He passed away on September 22nd, 2009 at the age of 46. He wrote about his experience in the labour camp: "I had been on a hunger strike for 32 days before I was taken to the labour camp. I was very weak. Nonetheless, I was often pushed and held down on the floor. They grabbed my injured hand and dragged me over the floor, back and forth, which caused dislocation of my joints. I suffered from violent force-feedings. They slapped or punched me during the force-feedings. The feeding tube was difficult to insert through my nose, and made my nose bleed after several attempts." -
A Personal Account of the Persecution of Ms. Deng Lijuan

In 2002 police again arrested my husband and I. I was tortured in the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City for one year and my husband was tortured for three years. He died on April 7th, 2004, three days after he returned home. -
