(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Zhou Limei was a Falun Dafa practitioner from the Eqi area of Inner Mongolia. On October 26, 1999, she was arrested on Tiananmen Square when appealing in Beijing. She was taken back to her hometown and detained at a local prison for three months. On July 11, 2000, she went to Beijing for the second time, but was arrested on the train and taken to Eqi Prison. In November, she was sentenced to three years in prison. During the three years that followed, she was subjected to many forms of torture. She was handcuffed, hung up, and beaten. Her front teeth fell out as a result. She suffered tremendously both mentally and physically, causing her hair to turn gray. After she returned home, agents from the 610 Office continued to regularly harass her. She began to show illness symptoms and passed away on February 5, 2006.
Ms. Zhang Shuqing was 84 years old. She also was from the Eqi area of Inner Mongolia. Through practicing Falun Dafa, she recovered from different ailments and became very healthy. Since 1999 when the persecution started, Ms. Zhang twice traveled to Beijing to validate Dafa and say "Dafa is good." Consequently she was detained at Eqi Detention Center where she was tortured and threatened by the guards. During the freezing cold winter, they did not allow her to have blankets, employing this cruel method in their attempts to brainwash her. After she was released, the police continued to harass her. Zhang Shuqing developed symptoms of fear and panic and became unable to care for herself. She died on July 3, 2006.
Ms. Zhao Guizhen, 61, was from Lianjiazi Village in Youfang Town, Kangping County, Liaoning Province. After she started practicing Falun Gong in 1997, her various ailments, including vasculitis, completely disappeared. People who knew her and witnessed her health recover soon started practicing Falun Gong. Ever since the persecution began in 1999, agents from the political and law committee in Kangping County, the local 610 Office, the Lianjiazi Village security office, and the Youfang town committee—Xi Jun, Zuo Hai, Wang Jindang and Yang Yuchun—repeatedly harassed Zhao Guizhen. They took away her Dafa books and Teacher’s portrait and tried to force her to denounce Falun Gong. During the spring festival in 2001, they took her to Kangping County Public Security Bureau, having already taken her there on previous occasions. Later they forced her family to pay 1,000 yuan, which was never returned, before releasing her. Because she was constantly harassed and threatened, the mental and physical pressure became too much for her to bear. She passed away on July 2, 2006.
