Death of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Ning Guizhen from Funing County, Qinhuangdao City
(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Ning Guizhen and her daughter
Xu Xiujuan went to Shanhaiguan District to distribute truth clarification
materials, when the police abducted them. Ning Guizhen passed away on an evening
in late June 2004. The following are details: On May 11, 2004, Ning Guizhen and Xu Xiujuan went to Waiyu Village in
Shanhaiguan District to distribute Falun Dafa truth clarification materials. The
Party secretary and head of Waiyu Village reported them. The two practitioners
were handcuffed and sent to the Gaojianzhuang Police Station in the Shanhaiguan
District, Qinhuangdao City. The authorities detained mother and daughter in
separate rooms and interrogated them. They asked for their names and addresses.
The two practitioners kept sending forth righteous thoughts to resist the
persecution. Ning Guizhen was in her 60s. The police officers handcuffed her to a chair
and handcuffed her daughter to a bed. When Ms. Ning refused to answer their
questions, the police kicked the chair so violently that Ning Guizhen developed
a severe headache and vomited. The police left her handcuffed to the chair for a
whole night, despite her condition and suffering. Ms. Ning's daughter Xu Xiujuan's handcuffs later opened on their own and she
left the police station at 3:00 a.m. However, she could not return home due to
the persecution and the danger of being arrested from home. After being handcuffed to the chair for the whole night, Ning Guizhen was
transferred to the Haigang District Police Department in Qinhuangdao City. The
police later took her to the Haiyang Police Station in Haigang District for
interrogation. Then they transferred her to Beigang Town Police Station. She
vomited throughout the trip. Ms. Ning was extremely weak after being
interrogated at four different places. They released her after fining her 200
yuan (1). At around 10:00 p.m., officers from Beigang Town Police Station went to Ms.
Ning's home to harass her. Ning Guizhen said, "I'm dizzy and not feeling
well." She never recovered and passed away around 11:00 p.m. on June 27,
2004, after suffering from severe headaches and intermittent loss of
consciousness. These perpetrators of the persecution caused the death of Ning Guizhen within
the short period of just over a month. On the afternoon of July 9, 2004, officers from the Beigang Town Police
Station arrested Ms. Ning's daughter Xu Xiujuan and held her at the No. 2
Detention Center in Qinhuangdao City for 15 days. She held a hunger strike to
protest the persecution and became extremely weak. Ms. Xu was released after
being diagnosed with chronic appendicitis. The perpetrators also forced her to
sign the release statement. On August 2, over a dozen perpetrators led by Zhao, secretary from the
Beigang Town Party Committee, broke into Xu Xiujuan's home and took her to a
brainwashing class. (1) Yuan is the unit of currency in China; 500 yuan is equal to the average
monthly income for an urban worker in China.
