Mr. Zhao Yong was a retired teacher who lived in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region. He had been detained numerous times because he practiced
Falun Dafa. During the time he was confined in the Hohhot City Second Prison,
his liver disease reoccurred. However, the prison administration refused him
medical parole, and he died in April 2005.
Mr. Zhao Yong was 63 years old, a retired teacher from the Baotou City
Railroad Worker's School. He started cultivating Falun Dafa in 1996, and
thereafter developed a healthy body with all his previous illnesses eliminated.
After July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Dafa began, his home was
ransacked. Police arrested and detained him for 30 days in the Donghe District
Detention Center. He was arrested again on December 13, 2000, and this time was
sentenced to one year of forced labor. On May 17, 2003, his home was ransacked a
third time, and he was arrested again. He was sentenced to a three-year prison
term in the Hohhot City Second Prison. During his confinement in the prison, he
was repeatedly mistreated, severely weakening both his physical and mental
state. As a consequence of this harsh treatment, his liver problems reoccurred.
When he was dying, his family applied to have him bailed out on medical parole.
The local 610 Office and government officials deliberately delayed the approval
process, and Mr. Zhao Yong died inside the Hohhot City Second Prison on April
29, 2005.
