Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Wen Yingxin from Shenyang City Persecuted to Death Within Nine Days of Being Arrested (Photos)

August 30, 2006 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) On August 7, 2006, police officers from Xiaobei Police Station of Dadong District Police Bureau in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wen Yingxin from Shenyang City because of posting Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. She died at Shenyang 739 Hospital on August 16, within nine days of her arrest. Her body showed signs of injury. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities claimed that Ms. Wen died of kidney failure. This is highly questionable. Wen Yingxin's remains are presently held by police.

Shenyang City Dafa Practitioner Wen Yingxin

Ms. Wen Yingxin, 34 years old, was employed as an accountant by Shenyang Aerospace Xinguang Corporation. She graduated from the College of Commerce of Shenyang University with a degree in accounting. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1997.

About 3:00 p.m. on August 7, 2006, when Ms. Wen was posting Falun Gong truth-clarification materials in the Dabei District, she was reported by someone. Police officers from Xiaobei Police Station of Dadong District Police Bureau in Shenyang City arrested her. On August 8, Wen Yingxin was taken to Shenyang Detention Center.

Around 5:00 p.m. on August 16, staff from the Xiaobei Police Station (the "case handling unit") informed Ms. Wen's family that she was at Shenyang City 739 Hospital. When Wen Yingxin's parents and some of her relatives arrived at the 739 Hospital, they saw that Ms. Wen was in bed and breathing through an oxygen tube. Her electrocardiogram showed a straight line. She appeared to be unconscious, and could hardly breathe. Ms. Wen died at 10:00 p.m. that night. The police claimed that their emergency treatment lasted more than five hours (from 5:00 p.m. when they had notified her family to 10:00 p.m. when she died). Wen Yingxin's family said: "We know that this was a set-up." The police told her family, "Wen Yingxin died of kidney failure."

Ms. Wen's family questioned police officers, "Where did the wounds on Wen Yingxin's body come from?" The police officers stalled and then said that they resulted from her trying to escape. Police officers from Xiaobei Police Station said, "As soon as Wen was arrested, she destroyed her telephone book, and tried to escape a few times, but didn't succeed."

Before being illegally arrested, Wen Yingxin was very healthy. She weight over 130 lbs. How could a healthy person who weighed only 130 lbs, and was 34 years old develop kidney failure within 9 days? People thought that a possible explanation could have been that she did not take in any food for a long time, or in another words, she went on a hunger strike, which resulted in kidney failure. However, it took only 9 days from the time Ms. Wen was arrested to the time she died. Therefore, such a scenario was not logical. If Ms. Wen began a hunger strike as soon as she was arrested, she wouldn't have suffered kidney failure. Guards at the Shenyang City Detention Center brutally force-feed Falun Gong practitioners after they are four days on a hunger strike.

It is most likely that she was tortured into suffering kidney failure, similar to what happened to Falun Gong practitioner Wang Hong from Liaozhong County, Shenyang City in August 2001. Ms. Wang's head and feet were tied together at Longshan Forced Labor Camp for over 10 hours, and she was not allowed to go to the restroom. She suffered kidney failure, as diagnosed at the hospital. Wang Hong died on September 1, 2001.

Police officers from Xiaobei Police Station said, "Wen tried to escape a few times but didn't succeed." After she didn't succeed, one can only image how the police tortured her after each escape attempt. Even if Wen Yingxin indeed died of kidney failure, her kidney failure resulted from persecution. Within 9 days after Ms. Wen was illegally arrested, she was persecuted to death. The authorities from Shenyang City Detention Center, Dadong Police Bureau Xiaobei Police Station cannot escape responsibility.

At 10:00 p.m., on August 16, after Wen Yingxin died, people from the 739 Hospital asked her family to sign the "Death Notification." Her family refused. Then they asked Wen's family to sign the "Remains Keeping Documentation." They refused again. Currently, Ms. Wen's remains are being held by police. However, no one but the authorities knows where her remains are being kept. Ms. Wen's family traveled to Shenyang City Detention Center to demand justice, but in vain.

Below is a brief biography of Wen Yingxin:

Ms. Wen Yingxin was born on March 3, 1972. She graduated from the College of Commerce of Shenyang University with a degree in accounting and was an accountant for the Shenyang Aerospace Xinguang Group. In 1997, Ms. Wen began to practice Falun Gong. She benefited both physically and mentally. Wen Yingxin began to always think of others first, and became very kind and selfless. In July 1999, after the persecution of Falun Gong began, because she remained firm in her belief and clarified the truth about Falun Gong, she was cruelly persecuted.

In June 2002, due to clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, Wen Yingxin was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor and detained at Shenyang Longshan Detention Center. At the end of 2002, she was transferred to Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp. Because she refused to give up her belief, Guard Shi Fengyou from Longshan Forced Labor Camp shocked her with electric batons, injuring her face and mouth.

In March 2003, Ms. Wen was taken back to Longshan Forced Labor Camp. Guard Tang Yubao shocked her head with an electric baton. She fell several times, which resulted in a large bump on the back of her head. The labor camp was involved in forcefully brainwashing people. Wen Yingxin was deprived of sleep. She was only allowed to sleep from 3:30 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. The minute she looked like she might fall asleep, the guards told her to walk, or she would be beaten. Wen Yingxing went on a hunger strike many times to protest the persecution. The guards shackled her limbs to the ground and force-fed her a concentrated salt solution. Her nose was injured and bled because of the rubber tube they put through her nose. Guard Shi Fengyou shouted: "Add more salt!" Ms. Wen lost consciousness and was then unable to walk. She was also forced to do hard labor at Longshan Forced Labor Camp. After guard Tang Yubao got drunk, he pulled her hair, slapped her face, kicked her legs and punched her. Tang beat Ms. Wen many times in this manner.

In August 2003, Wen Yingxin went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Over two months later, she was taken to Liaoning Province Prisoners' Hospital, where she was handcuffed to a bed, injected with drugs and forced-fed. She became incontinent, losing control of her bowels and bladder. She had blood in her bowel movements. Her liver and spleen were injured, and she was dying. The guards were afraid to take responsibility, so Ms. Wen's forced her mother to take her home in December 2003. After she got home, Ms. Wen persisted in practicing Falun Gong, and she miraculously recovered. Due to the fact that people from her local community management committee and police station often went to her home to harass her, Wen Yingxin was forced to become homeless and move from place to place.

In 2003 when Ms. Wen was illegally detained at the forced labor camp, her husband divorced her because of the CCP's long-term persecution and tremendous pressure. Her 7-year-old son thus lost his mother's care.

Ms. Wen's parents are over 60 years old. They were devastated when they were told that their daughter was persecuted to death. They've been crying ever since. Her mother became so ill that she is now bedridden.

Anyone who has additional facts, please let us know. We hope to bring those guards who persecuted Wen Yingxin to justice as soon as possible.
