Practitioners Xiao Yongzhen, Li Tianzhen and Yi Shuangmei from Henan Province Died of Persecution
(Clearwisdom.net) Mrs. Xiao Yongzhen was sixty-three years old. She was employed by the
financial department of Nanyang City Central Hospital, Henan Province. Shortly
after she started to practice Falun Dafa in1997, her heart disease and other
illnesses vanished. Since July 20, 1999, the Beijing Police Station, the
security department from Nanyang Wangcheng district, and the security department
from Nanyang Wolong district have detained her numerous times, sentencing her to
labor camp (she was rejected by the labor camp due to her health problems),
extorted money from her, raided her house and confiscated her properties. All of
this occurred because of her appealing for Falun Dafa and clarifying the
truth. Her workplace also stopped her salary. She was arrested in November
2003 and was held in the Shangzhuang Detention Center of Nanyang City for over
five months. The police did not release her to the hospital until she developed
a high fever and succumbed to a coma. After endless harassment Mrs. Xiao
Yongzhen died in Center Hospital in October 2004. She had been steadfast in her
beliefs in Master and Dafa, never compromising or giving in to the evil. She had
been in and out of the detention center at least five times. Mrs. Li Tianzhen was ninety years old and lived on Minzhu Street, Nanyang
City, Henan Province. She started to practice Falun Dafa at the beginning of
1995. Her many diseases included kidney and heart problems disappeared after she
started the practice. Her hair returned to its natural black color, her skin
turned soft and fair, and she had not had to take any medicine for ten years.
After the start of the persecution on July 20, 1999, the Resident Committee
harassed her many times, arrested her daughter who was sixty years old, raided
her house and confiscated her properties, extorted money from her, and sentenced
her to three years in prison. She has been illegally detained at least nine
times. Her granddaughter has been arrested many times also and has been homeless
for many years. The persecution gravely affected her health and strength. She
passed away January 6, 2005. Mrs. Yi Shuangmei was fifty-seven years old and lived in Wangtaigang County,
Fanying Village, Nanyang City, Henan Province. After practicing Dafa in 1997,
her hyperthyroidism was cured without medical treatment. In March 2000 on her
way to visit fellow practitioners, she was arrested and several hundred yuan
in cash was confiscated without a receipt by policewomen with the last names of
Qu and Ji. The police arrested about twenty practitioners that day and took away
all their cash and sent them to No. 2 Detention Center Nanyang City. They did
not release Mrs. Yi until they had extorted several hundreds more yuan from her.
(The practitioners arrested that day were each fined 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. The
police released those who handed over the fine, and sent those who could not pay
to the Detention Center). The local police and the Resident Committee harassed
her many times at home after she was released. She passed away on November 2004. April 24, 2005 |
