(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Sun Jianqiu, in his 40s,
was a farmer in Changle County, Shandong Province. In January 2001, Mr. Sun was
arrested and sent to the local detention center, and he went on a hunger strike
for more than 20 days. He was then sentenced to forced labor at the Wangchun
Labor Camp. He died when someone struck him on the head while he was doing Falun
Dafa exercises.
When Mr. Sun's body was sent back home from Wangchun Labor Camp, there was
gauze wrapped around his head. Armed policemen were guarding his body, not
allowing his family to get close. They spread a rumor that Mr. Sun committed
suicide by hanging himself. Local police were taking turns watching his family
members, and not allowing them to contact any practitioners.
Mr. Sun Jianqiu's wife Gao Liping, 43 years old, is also a farmer in Changle
County, Shandong Province. When Mr. Sun was tortured to death, their child was
about six years old.
Before Mr. Sun died, Ms. Gaoliping was sentenced to forced labor in January
2001 for practicing Falun Gong. She was detained in the Second Group, Third
Division, Jiangshuiqua Women Labor Camp in Jinan City, and released in November
2003. She wrote many letters to her husband during her detention, but never
received any letters back. The labor camp refused to let her family visit her or
write to her. Finally Camp Guard Kong Yanxia (female), representing the labor
camp lied to her, telling her that her husband had hung himself.
Mr. Sun is survived by his parents, his wife, and his young child. Local
policemen had confiscated all their valuables before Ms. Gao was sent to the
forced labor camp, including a worn out mat, and a partition door. There is not
even a towel left in their house now.
