Retired Teacher Wu Yao from the Beijing Medical School Is Tortured to Death September 6, 2003
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Wu Yao, 57 years old, was a retired English teacher
from the Affiliated Middle School of the Beijing Medical School.
On September 10, 2002, which is Teacher's Day, she and her husband Yang
Zhanming were arrested while clarifying the truth of Dafa to people. They were
later detained at the Fengtai Detention Center, Beijing City. On June 11, 2003,
she was sent to a forced labor camp. On June 22, 2003, calling it a "sudden
death," the authorities told her family that Wu Yao had passed away.
Anyone who met Wu Yao would admit that she was a kind and dignified person.
Upon her arrest, she went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal arrest and
treatment. The Detention Center made use of the criminals to force-feed her.
Criminals brutally punched her face, pried open her mouth, and pinched her
breasts and private parts. Eleven days later, Wu stopped her hunger strike and
was dragged to another other cell with shackles on her feet.
Both Wu Yao and her husband Yang Zhanming were illegally sentenced to two
years in a forced labor camp. While being detained, she used Dafa as the
standard to judge what she should do, and looked inwardly for problems. Fellow
Dafa practitioners enjoyed sharing experiences with her. Her kindness moved the
people around her, and even many guards and criminals called her "Teacher
Wu" in a kindly manner. Many people liked to listen to her clarification of
Dafa truths.
Since she had righteous thoughts, she was sent to the forced Labor camp twice
but the camp refused to accept her in both cases. The second time before she was
sent, she was forcibly injected with blood pressure reduction medicine. At the
time, the city officers planned to release her but asked her to write a
"Guarantee" to give up her Dafa practice. She denied the unreasonable
demand without hesitation.
During the "SARS" period, the detention center required each person
to measure his or her body temperature three times a day. She refused because
she believed that a Dafa practitioner would not become infected by SARS, and she
used this chance to clarify the truth of Dafa to people. Before she attained
Dafa, she was very weak and was almost paralyzed in bed. It was Dafa that
empowered her to go back to her teaching position.
When facing the brutality of the guards, she always treated them kindly. She
also told them that wrongdoing would create retribution. Criminals, who have
long been incarcerated there admitted the guards had changed. They starting
treating Falun Gong practitioners and criminals not as viciously as they had
before. Her kindness reminded fellow Dafa practitioners around her of their own
shortcomings; her clear understanding of Dafa left no room for debate for those
former practitioners who had gone astray, and reinforced the righteous thoughts
of fellow practitioners. When she pointed out the shortcomings of fellow
practitioners, they were moved to tears. Her employer stopped paying her pension
because of her firmness in practicing Dafa. She said: "They are hurting
themselves, I'll ask them to pay it back after I get out of here, so as to let
them stop persecuting Dafa and be saved."
On the day when Wu was sent to the forced labor camp, she was tortured by
vicious police officers because she refused to cooperate. Her lower back was
badly hurt after police officers struck her there repeatedly with their elbows.
She could not even stand up. Ten days later, Wu died from the torture. Her
husband, Yang Zhanming, is still being detained at the forced labor camp.
