Ms. Chai Heping Dies in Hebei Province

Ms. Chai Heping, around 58, was an employee of the Handan City Power Company in Hebei Province. She went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong in October 1999 and was arrested by the Beijing police, picked up by her employer, and detained in the Handan City Second Detention Centre. She was released after the police extorted money from her. She lost her job, and her husband had been retired early many years ago, so she was under significant financial pressure. She went to Beijing to appeal again in 2001, and she was arrested and detained in the Handan City Second Detention Centre again. She was sentenced to one year of forced labour, which she served at the Shijiazhuang City Women's Labour Camp. When she was picked up by her family after one year, she had lost her eyesight and had an unclear consciousness. She used to be so intelligent, but she became mentally impaired from the torture. She died from falling out of a building in March 2008.

Mr. Ren Wensheng Dies in Shandong Province

Mr. Ren Wensheng used to be the Union Chairman of the Jian'an Company in Pingdu City, Shandong Province. Before he started practising Falun Gong in 1996, he used to be very ill, with severe high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. After practising, all his sicknesses were gone. After the persecution began in 1999, he still firmly believed in Falun Gong. In 2002, someone reported him to the police, and agents from the city's 610 Office1 constantly harassed him at his home. He was forced to leave home to avoid being arrested. His employer withheld his salary, leaving him without any living resources. He died of exhaustion on March 24th, 2008.

Note

1. "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.
