(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Lianying from Beijing was tortured until she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. (A previous report can be found at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2007/3/29/84019.html) She was a transferred from Renhe Hospital in Daxing, Beijing to the Tiantanghe Labor Camp Hospital last Friday, on March 30, 2007, when she was still in critical condition. The labor camp first tried to conceal the facts and lied to her family about her whereabouts. Three days later, her husband Niu Jinping went to Renhe Hospital and learned the truth.

According to witnesses, Zhang Lianying suffered severe brain damage from beatings. When she was taken out of her ward in a hospital bed, she kept clarifying the truth to the patients and said, “Please remember, Falun Dafa is good!” A labor camp guard tried to cover her mouth, but the patients were touched by her courage and selflessness.
At first, the labor camp authorities refused to let her husband or her three-year-old daughter visit her. Two guards were assigned to stand outside Zhang Lianying’s room. Niu Jinping took their daughter and everyday went to the labor camp or the hospital and strongly urged to be given permission to see and take care of his wife, but his request was repeatedly denied without explanation. Once when Niu Jinping was at the hospital, Beijing Labor Camp administration section head Shi told him to go to the labor camp to process the procedure to meet with his wife. When Niu Jinping went to the labor camp, however, Shi said that he was due in a meeting and made Niu Jinping wait outside for three hours, and then still refused to show up. Shi called the local police officer from Xiangheyuan, “610 Office” agents, officers from the street administration committee and two young officers from the Administration Section. Yang Yiguo, a “610 Office” head, screamed at Niu Jinping upon seeing him, “Don’t you dare to think that I can’t fix you just because you bring a kid with you.”
Note: On May 21, 2006, Niu Jinping met with Vice President of the European Parliament Edward McMillan-Scott. He told Mr. McMillan-Scott that he, his wife, and friends were suffering persecution. After this meeting, Mr. Niu Jinping, Ms. Zhang Lianying and Mr. Cao Dong, another practitioner who met with Edward McMillan-Scott, have suffered repeated threats and retaliation from CCP officials.
