Ms. Liu Guangfeng Dies as a Result of Persecution in the Guangshui City Detention Center
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Liu Guangfeng, 52, was a staff member at the Grain
Department in Guangshui City, Hubei Province. She was honest, quiet, kind,
industrious, and well respected. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) staged
the persecution of Falun Gong, she suffered a tremendous amount of persecution. On September 30, 2004, she was arrested by police officers from the Xingyang
City Police Department. She was detained in the Guangshui City First Detention
Center, and later sentenced to two years of forced labor. In the Shayang Forced
Labor Camp, she was forced to stand for several days and nights. Her legs
developed big blisters from being shocked by electric batons, and the guards
prohibited her from rolling up her pants, fearing that it would expose the
blisters. On December 26, 2004, the women's unit of the Shayang Forced Labor Camp moved
to Hongshan District, Wuhan City, and was renamed the Hubei Province Women's
Forced Labor Camp. The guards subjected practitioners to sleep deprivation,
forced them to squat or stand for long periods of time, had drug addict
prisoners kick their abdomen and private areas and pinch their breasts, shocked
them with electric batons, and forced them to sit on a small stool for a long
time. Ms. Liu's abdomen, private areas and thighs were black and blue all over
due to the physical abuse. In spite of that, she was still forced to work in the
workshop for more than ten hours each day. Sometimes, she was prohibited from
brushing her teeth and washing her face. When all of the others went to bed, Bao
Kun and Liu Xiaoli, the inmates assigned to persecute her, took turns watching
her and forced her to squat until 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. One time, when she
disclosed the persecution she suffered to others, guard Yu Lijun threatened her,
"You will suffer even more in the future." On January 7, 2009, Ms. Liu took a train to Wuhan City, and she was arrested
for reading Zhuan Falun on the train by police
officers from the Hubei Police Station. At around 2:00 a.m. on January 8, 2009,
more than ten police officers from the Wuhan City Railway Police Department
broke into her home and seized her computer and truth clarifying
materials. On February 8, 2009, Ms. Liu was taken to the Guangshui City First Detention
Center and detained there. On the afternoon of April 2, 2009, the authorities of
the detention center suddenly notified her family to pick her up. In the
detention center, her family members found that she could not speak, walk, or
eat, and the skin from her neck to her feet and her fingers was all black and
blue. There were scars around her neck. She was critically ill when she arrived at home. At 1:00 a.m. on April 4,
2009, she passed away. Zhang Daoliang, Director of the Guangshui City Police Department:
