Senior Doctor Mr. Yang Yongshou in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province Dies from the Persecution
(Clearwisdom.net) For firmly refusing to give up his faith in Falun Dafa, Senior Doctor Yang
Yongshou from Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province was troubled
multiple times by the government's suppression of Falun Dafa. At the end of
September 2002, perpetrators from the Yingshan County "610 Office" (1)
put Doctor Yang under close surveillance, and withheld his salary. He died while
in their custody and as a direct result of the persecution in December 2003. Dr. Yang Yongshou was an 82-year-old man. He lived in the No.3 Commune of the
No.2 Village, Qingshan Township, Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan
Province. He was a medical doctor in the army at the battalion level. After the
Ya-an Uprising in December 1949, he retired from the army, and was assigned a
job as Hospital Director in the Forestry Hospital in Yingshan County. He retired
in 1985 from the hospital. Later on, he saw patients and ran an herbal store on
Mozi Street, Yingshan County. Mr. Yang Yongshou started practicing Falun Dafa in February 1995. In May
2000, he went to Beijing to appeal for and validate that Falun Dafa is something
beneficial to society. He was arrested, detained for 15 days, and had 2,000 yuan
(2) extorted from him. In January 2001, he was abducted and taken to the county
seat, where he was detained for another 15 days. He was abducted for the third
time in May 2002, and was detained for another 15 days. On September 30, 2002, perpetrators from the Yingshan County "610
Office" ordered that Dr. Yang's be moved from living in the county's most
developed area to the Central Hospital in Lushui Town, Yingshan County. Here, he
was to be put under close monitoring; he was not allowed to walk around freely;
he was not allowed to contact others; they withheld all of his retirement
pension; and they only paid him 300 yuan a month as a basic living cost. They
saw Dr. Yang become very weak, but he still refused to give up his faith. Then
they stopped paying his living cost for two months. Under both mental and
physical pressure, he died on December 10, 2003 in the hospital. No one took
care of his body until three days after he died. Directly responsible persons in the Central Hospital of Lushui Town, Yingshan
