Ms. Zhou Huafang from Qingyang City, Gansu Province Dies as the Result of Torture
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhou Huafang, 58, lived in
the South Block of the Changqing Petroleum Field Transportation Division in
Qingcheng County, Qingyang City, Gansu Province. In August 2003, she went to
Beijing to appeal, and she was arrested on Tiananmen Square. She was picked up
by police from Qingcheng County Department, and she was taken under custody in
the Transportation Division Police Department. She was then cuffed to the
electricity pole overnight and pressured to write a guarantee statement, and
police officer He Jianguo (male) punched and kicked her. They tried to extort
several thousand yuan in cash from her family to secure her release, but her
family could not afford it. She was then sentenced to one year and nine months
of forced labor to be served in the Lanzhou City Forced Labor Camp (also called
the Gansu Province Second Forced Labor Camp). Detained in the First Ward of Gansu Second Forced Labor Camp, Ms. Zhou
Huafang endured cruel torture and forced brainwashing to the point of her
suffering a nervous breakdown. She was as thin as a skeleton, and even her eyes
looked slow and glazed over. Once in October 2003, she tried to leave a
brainwashing session, and guard Yang (female, first name unknown) cursed her and
had her cuffed for one week. She was beaten constantly, deprived of her right to
eat, and forced to stand in the rain. Another time, she sat on a stool that a
drug-addict prisoner wanted to sit on because she thought they meant for her to
sit. Then the prisoners who were assigned to closely watch her beat her in the
muddy rain and locked her in a solitary confinement for many days. She was
continuously tortured and mistreated after being released from solitary
confinement. Ms. Zhou Huafang solidly believed in Master and Falun Dafa and never wrote a
letter to renounce Dafa. She was transferred to the Jiuzhou Development Zone
Prison in Lanzhou City, where she was tortured with electric baton shocking and
other methods. Unknown drugs were forcibly injected into her. In the end, she
went into a vegetative state due to mistreatment, and she was taken home in
September 2005. After another two years of painful suffering, she died on July
3, 2007.
