Supplemental material about the persecution of Ms. Xiao Shufen, a practitioner from Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province:

In an attempt to transform practitioners, guards at the Women's Forced Labor Camp of Harbin City deprived Ms. Xiao of sleep and deprived her of all of her personal freedom in 2005. Unable to bear the inhumane torture, Ms. Xiao attempted to commit suicide by hanging herself. (Editor's Note: While the teachings of Falun Dafa prohibit taking the life of oneself or others, the fact that anyone could be led to attempt suicide is testament to the severity and horror of the persecution that practitioners in China face) The person in charge on the night shift noticed it during evening inspection, and Ms. Xiao survived. In March 2006, criminal inmates found out that Ms. Xiao was reading Master's articles. Five inmates attacked her and tussled with her. The inmates beat her so hard that they were exhausted and got muscle spasms in the end. Several guards tore her bedding into pieces. As a result of the torture, Ms. Xiao got ill in March 2006. Other practitioners wanted to report the situation to the guards and help Ms. Xiao to communicate with her family. However, inmate head Wu Bin kept them from doing this. When Ms. Xiao was in critical condition, practitioners went to report to the guards. The guards used the excuse that they were unable to get hold of Ms. Xiao's family and delayed treatment. Ms. Xiao died at the age of 66 in March 2006, 12 days after she had started to fall ill. Her family was not notified until three days later.
