Seventy-Year-Old Ms. Wang Yuefeng from Baishan City, Jilin Province Passes Away Due to Persecution

(Clearwisdom Net) Seventy-year-old Ms. Wang Yuefeng, a Falun Gong practitioner who lived in Northeast Chalin Yard, Quanyang Forest Department, Baishan City, Jilin Province, was forced to become homeless due to persecution. She passed away on July 16, 2004.

Wang Yuefeng began to practice Falun Gong in January 1998. In October 1998, Gong Shishun, the chief of the political security section at Quanyang Forestry Department, along with the police from the Northeast Chalin Yard Station, came to search her house and confiscated her Falun Gong books and audiotapes. Ms. Wang tried to get her belongings back through an appeal to the Department of Forestry, but was rejected. After July 20, 1999, the political section chief and the police station chief came to harass her on different occasions. Her husband Chen Jungong, a seventy-eight year-old Falun Gong practitioner, was also seriously harassed and, as a result, passed away several months later.

Officials from the Political Section and the police station came to pressure Ms. Wang soon after her husband's death, illegally searching her house every other day. She was forced to leave home and passed away on July 16, 2004.
