Chengdu Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhu Junxiu was sentenced to eight years in prison on March 6th, 2006 by the Chengdu Jinniu District Court. Ms. Zhu had been persecuted so severely that she had to be carried to the court on someone's back.

Ms. Zhu Junxiu, 50 years old, is a practitioner from Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Because she practised Falun Gong, she was arrested, imprisoned and persecuted many times. She suffered a great deal both physically and emotionally, and she also lost several million yuan1.

On October 14th, 2000, Ms. Zhu was arrested by plainclothes police officers from Xiaojiacun Police Station, where she stayed in a small, dark, cold cell for the following two nights.

On October 16th, 2000, Ms. Zhu was held in the Chongzhou City Detention Centre. The guards hit her in the face and temple, and pulled her hair. As a result, she lost consciousness twice. Four days later, she was transferred to the Huaiyuan City Police Station. For 40 days, she was kept in a dark room without windows but with urine and excrement all over the floor. The police did not allow her to wash or use the toilet. Chengdu Police Department officials sentenced her to one year of forced labour and sent her to Nanmushi Women's Forced Labour Camp. She was persecuted there for eight months.

In November 2005, Ms. Zhu went to the relevant departments to demand the return of 200,000 yuan, which had been illegally confiscated. She was arrested again and persecuted by the authorities. On March 6th, she was sentenced to eight years in prison.

The persecution that Ms. Zhu Junxiu was subjected to was recorded in part in an article published on August 26th, 2004 in Clearwisdom.net: (http://www.minghui.ca/mh/articles/2004/8/26/82620.html)

Partial accounts of her persecution have been put on record by the United Nations.
