After enduring two labor camp terms, six arrests and endless harassment for practicing Falun Gong, a former teacher in Enping City, Guangdong Province passed away in June 2022. Mr. Hu Yuanhuan was 51.

Just days before his passing, several local police officers harassed him again, threatening to pry open his door and break in.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Mr. Hu took up Falun Gong in 1997. For upholding his faith, he was fired by the school he worked at and repeatedly targeted by the authorities.

Mr. Hu was arrested in March 2001 and taken to the Enping City Detention Center. He held a hunger strike to protest, only to be force fed through a thick plastic tube bought at a hardware store and inserted into his nostril. The deputy head of the detention center told the inmates he ordered to force feed Mr. Hu that the head of the detention center would take care of everything if Hu died from the force feeding.”

Lu threatened to cremate Mr. Hu alive or take him to the hospital, have his organs extracted and falsify a document to say that he voluntarily donated the organs.

Mr. Hu once fell into a coma as a result of the torture, but the guards took him to the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp and accused him of pretending to be dead. At the labor camp hospital, the guards tied him to a bed in a spread eagle position and force fed him again. He was released two months later while on the verge of death.

Torture reenactment: force feeding

Officer Chen Jianhua sneaked into Mr. Hu’s home by scaling the fence in March 2007 to arrest him. Mr. Hu held a hunger strike again and was shackled and chained to a tiger bench. He was given another term at the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. During the eight months he was held at the labor camp hospital, the guards again chained him to a bed and force fed him. Meanwhile, the inmates verbally abused him on the side and tried to brainwash him by smearing Falun Gong. He was again released on the verge of death.

After he recovered, he went out of town and found a job. The police arrested him again in December 2019 at his new workplace. He was taken back to the Enping City Police Department and later released on bail.

The police closely monitored his daily life and installed surveillance cameras outside of his home. They also ordered his brother Mr. Hu Yuanhuang to check on him throughout the day and report his situation. The physical and mental torture took a toll on his health. He became very weak and suffered high blood pressure. He passed away in June 2022.
