Dafa practitioner Ms. Liao Furong from Pengshui County, Chongqing suffered brutal torture at the Pengshui County Detention Centre for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. She passed away in a hospital in the first half 2002.

Ms. Liao Furong was born in 1946 and started to practise Falun Dafa in 1998. She benefited much from the practice, both physically and mentally.

On November 19, 2000, Liao Furong went to Tiananmen Square with another local practitioner to unfurl a "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance" banner. Ms. Liao was arrested and suffered severe torture at the Pengshui County Detention Centre. Later she was sentenced to four and a half years of forced labour. However, the Yongchuan Female Prison refused to accept her because of her severe injuries from the beatings. She was released "on bail for medical treatment" in the second half of year 2001, and passed away at a hospital in the first half of year 2002.
