Three Falun Dafa Practitioners from Chongqing, Tianjin, and Heilongjiang Died as a Result of Persecution

Ms. Gao Yunling, a retired employee of the Chongqing Oil Transport Warehouse, began to practise Falun Dafa in 1996. As a result of the practice, all her illnesses disappeared without medical treatment. In October 2005, the local community committee (Shiyangyishe Community, Shiqiaopu Township, Chongqing City) put her under surveillance twenty-four hours a day. This happened again during the Chinese New Year in 2006. She was forced to write the so-called three statements¹, which brought her huge detriment mentally. She died on February 13th, 2006.

The following are the personnel who participated in the persecution:

Shiyangyishe Community Committee
Party Secretary: Shang Yong and Zhan Zhengmo
Community deputy Director: Shi Yingxia

Mr. Gao Qingcheng, 54 years of age, was an employee of the Tianjin Xinhe Shipyard and was from Gaoxinzhuang. He was detained in a forced labour camp for three years from February 2001 to February 2004. After he was released, he was still constantly harassed by government personnel. He was living under extreme mental pressure and died in March 2006.

Ms. Tang Liyan, 36 years of age, was a school teacher at the Linjiang Township Middle School, Tongjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. After she began to practise Falun Dafa in May 1998, her illnesses went away and she became a healthy person. The local 610 Office² and local police station often monitored and harassed her after the persecution began on July 20th, 1999. She suffered a lot mentally and her health got worse gradually. She died on October 14th, 2003.

Note

1. "Three Statements": Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write "Repentance Statement," "Guarantee Statement" or 'Dissociation Statement" as proof that they have given up their belief. In the statement, the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practising Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.

2. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
