Practitioner Ms. Feng Xiaomin from Shijiazhuang City, Dies After Being Forced to Leave Home to Avoid Persecution; Her Brother-in-Law is Tortured to Death

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Feng Xiaomin suffered severe persecution for practicing Falun Gong. She was forced to leave home to avoid the relentless harassment and constant threat of arbitrary arrest by the authorities. Under enormous mental pressure, her health deteriorated and she passed away on June 1, 2004.

Ms. Feng Xiaomin, 34 years old, from Yi'an County, Heilongjiang Province, was a graduate from the Qiqihar Normal University and had worked in the No. 6 Shijiazhuang Textile Mill and Shijiazhuang Tallow Chemical Factory.

In 2001, officers and security personnel from the Donghualu Police Station illegally arrested Ms. Feng Xiaomin while she was posting Falun Gong truth-clarification information. While detained at Shijiazhuang's First Detention Center, Ms. Feng went on a hunger strike for almost a month to protest the persecution. Even though she was extremely weak, the political head of the police station at that time still had her registered to do forced labor. Later on, seeing that Ms. Feng was on the brink of death, the police took her back from the detention center. They kept her in the station for another 24 hours and then released her after they extorted over 100 Yuan (1) from her family members. Soon after Ms. Feng returned home, she and her husband realized their ordeal was not over and they had to leave home and live in different places in order to avoid the relentless harassment and constant threats of arbitrary arrests by the authorities.

During that time, the officers and personnel from the "610 Office" (2) of Shijiazhuang City often threatened and harassed her older sister, Ms. Feng Xiaomei, to obtain information on the couple's whereabouts. The authorities once carried out a secret investigation for almost two months. Later on they appointed personnel from the Yuhua District Police Department to search for them. The police even went to harass and threaten relatives in the hometown of Ms. Feng Xiaomin's husband, to learn their whereabouts.

Ms. Feng Xiaomin suffered enormous mental pressure and stress due to having to live a long-term homeless and a difficult life, as well as endure the constant threats to her safety and harassment from the authorities. She and her husband had a baby in 2002, which added extra mental pressure in such a difficult living situation. When the chief of the Yuhua Police Department personally took charge of the search for them, he applied even more pressure on the couple.

According to inside sources, in May of this year, Ms. Feng Xiaomin suddenly started to feel ill. At the beginning, she had a fever and headache and her whole body became lethargic. Later on, her state of mind suddenly became confused and she went into a coma. She was sent to a hospital for emergency treatment. Four days later, at 7:00 p.m. on June 1, 2004, Ms. Feng Xiaomin passed away at the Shijiazhuang No. 2 Hospital. Her child is now only one year and 10 months old and hasn't even been permitted to obtain proper residency registration and identification. On the evening of October 9, 2003, the authorities tortured Ms. Feng Xiaomin's brother-in-law, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Hongbin, to death. His child was a junior high school student at that time.

Ms. Feng Xiaomin's death heaped one misfortune after another onto these two families. Previously, the two families had been relying on Ms. Feng Xiaomei's income from doing temporary work. Now the two families have two elderly people and two children to care for, which makes life even harder for them. They couldn't even afford the hospital expenses and fees for Mr. Wang Hongbin and Ms. Feng Xiaomin this year. It was fellow practitioners who eventually pooled some money together and paid off their debts.

Now the authorities in Shijiazhuang City are plotting to persecute Ms. Feng Xiaomin's husband, Mr. Wang Xiaofeng. It was said that when Ms. Feng Xiaomin was in a state of delirium, she was yelling out not to let the police approach and persecute her.

In today's China, the enormous and deep mental scars caused by Jiang's state terrorism have left with people lifelong terrifying memories.
