(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Yuan Zexiu was 58 years old and lived in Yidao Village, Yidao Town, Laizhou City, Shandong Province. She was twice arrested by police and sent to the notorious Dianzi Brainwashing Class in Laizhou City. Her family paid the police 5,000 yuan in extortion money to have her released. They later learned that police officers Jia Dianliang, Yang Dianxin and Liu Bin had divided the money among themselves. Ms. Yuan was beaten numerous times by police officers in the Yidao Station. The police hit her on the head and knocked out many of her teeth. Once she was beaten unconscious by officer Jia Dianliang.

In May 2004, Ms. Yuan was arrested and detained for more than 50 days in the Laizhou City Detention Center for passing out truth-clarifying material. She was sentenced to forced labor and sent to the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp. The camp rejected her because she had high blood pressure, and she was released.

After Yuan Zexiu was released, State Security Agent Wang Yongguang and Liu Weibin ransacked her home and confiscated her CD player. The police from the Yidao Station continued to harass and threaten her at home. As a result of such relentless persecution, Ms. Yuan deteriorated mentally and physically, and she could not study the Fa or do the Falun Dafa exercises. She became extremely frail and died on January 24, 2005.
