Beijing Practitioner Ms. Zhao Xiuqin Died in January at a Forced Labor Camp as a Result of Persecution

Ms. Zhao Xiuqin, a practitioner in her fifties, lived at Xuanwu District in Beijing. She had suffered from the persecution of Falun Gong since July 20, 1999, when the persecution started, and had become homeless. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) police minions arrested her when she was distributing truth clarifying materials, and she was taken to a forced labor camp. Although she was subjected to brainwashing many times, she never stepped aside from her cultivation path. She died in January 2007 at a forced labor camp, due to persecution. Additional investigation is needed for detailed information.

Ms. Zou Yongping, Practitioner from Xinbin County, Liaoning Province, Died As a Result of Torture

Ms. Zou Yongping, 54, was the head of the workers' union at the Xinbin County Medicine Administrative Bureau. Ms. Zou went to Beijing many times to appeal for Falun Gong and clarify the truth after July 20, 2999, the day when Falun Gong was banned. She was arrested and detained at Xinbin County Detention Center more times than one can count. She was seen as a "key" person by the Xinbin 610 Office. During the past few years, Ms. Zou lived under constant police surveillance. Her phone was bugged and she was often followed. Evil people came to her door many times to harass and threaten her, and one time they confiscated a computer. She was detained many times, fined 4,000 yuan, and twice taken to a forced labor camp. She was detained once at Fushun City Forced Labor Camp and once at Masanjia Forced labor Camp. She was tortured at the labor camps and developed symptoms of high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases. Later it worsened and she suffered mental trauma, and acted abnormally. In 2005, Masanjia Forced Labor Camp released Ms. Zou on bail for medical treatment to abscond responsibility for her condition. Ms. Zou never recovered. On October 28, 2006, her body was discovered on a road to Matang Village, Xinbin County.
