Mother Persecuted to Death for Practicing Falun Dafa - Her Children Live Difficult Lives (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) Two years ago, Ms. Xue Xia, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Xingtai City, Hebei Province, was persecuted to death at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp. She left behind a son and a daughter. Because their mother was a Dafa practitioner, the children have been denied all care and support.

Ms. Xue died in the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp on February 21, 2003. Her daughter, Wang Jiaojiao, was born on September 13, 1991 and is now in junior high at the Yuban Experimental School of Xingtao County. Her son, Wang Chao, was born on March 9, 1993. Chao graduated from elementary school and was admitted to the Yuban Experimental School of Xingtao County this year. Xue Xia's husband, Wang Haihe, was fired from his job at Xingtai Medical School because his wife practiced Falun Gong. The family lives without any income, and the two children have become very quiet and withdrawn as this terrible situation developed.

Following is a brief explanation of Xue Xia's persecution and death.

Xue Xia was born in Jiejiatun Village, Xingtai City, Hebei Province in 1970. In 2001 an official named Tian from Daliangzhuang Community illegally arrested Xue Xia and her mother, Yin Xiai, and took them to the Fifth Team of the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp. Xue Xia suffered tremendously from torture in the forced labor camp. She was beaten, shocked with an electric baton, and deprived of sleep. Xia was forced to take a tablet, known as a brainwashing pill, because it weakens the patient, and produces a loss of appetite and loose bowels. Xue Xia was tortured to the verge of death, and camp officials feared she would die while in custody. Fearful of her imminent demise, the camp released her and Yin Xiai on medical leave.

After receiving extended treatment in the People's Hospital at Xingtai City, Xue Xia left the hospital. With her mother's support, Xue Xia studied the Fa and practiced the exercises, which gradually improved her health. On September 17, 2002, five policemen from Team 5 of the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp joined with Directors of the Street Office of Meishi, Man Yun and Xia Wu, and again arrested the mother and daughter and put them into Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp.

During the following three months, labor camp officials forced the mother and daughter to write the three statements. Under the cruel persecution, Xue Xia's restored health again deteriorated, and she lost her appetite and then lost consciousness. In this state a guard named Jiang ordered Xue Xia to sit on the bare ground in the cold winter, in a corridor that allowed the wind to blow over her. She was also forced to stand for hours while tied to a bed. For the next three to four days, Xue Xia did not eat or drink anything and was near death. The camp again feared that she would die in the labor camp and sent her home.
