Ms. Zhang Yaping is a 52 year old Dafa practitioner from Shenyang City in Liaoning Province. On
July 14, 2003, she was arrested, along with a fellow practitioner by the Public Security officers of
the Shenhe District in Shenyang City. They were subsequently confined at Shenyang City Detention
Center. The police wanted to send her to Dabei Jail in Shenyang City.
Zhang Yaping commenced a hunger strike, starting on July 29, 2003 in protest. Around August 13,
the police notified her family members to go to Dabei Jail Hospital in Shenyang City to pick her up.
Zhang Yaping's family saw that she was unconscious and her body was twitching. On August 13, the
family members sent her to Shenyang University Number Two Hospital affiliated with Shenyang
University for emergency treatment. There was no reaction from her when she was administered fluids.
Currently, she is still in the Hospital Emergency Consultation Ward undergoing treatment.
It is hoped that fellow practitioners who receive this information will combine their efforts to
send forth righteous thoughts. Together we can eliminate all the evil arrangements of the old forces
and assist Zhang Yaping in her early recovery and her return to the mighty torrent of Fa-rectification.
(Note: Zhang Yaping was arrested in 2001 because she made truth clarification materials and was
sentenced to seven years in prison. At the end of 2001, she got out of the detention center through
hunger striking and righteous thoughts.)
