May 17th report: Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhao Yuezhen, was 47 years old. She lived in Jiaozhou City, Shandong Province. She was illegally detained in the Zhangjiatun Brainwashing Centre in Jiaozhou City for four months, during which time torture greatly impaired her physical and mental health. She was sent home when she was on the verge of death. Her husband, also a Dafa practitioner, was illegally sentenced to four years in prison. Zhao Yuezhen was extremely weak and remained unattended for several months before she sadly passed away at the age of 47.

The following are details about this practitioner. Ms. Zhao Yuezhen was physically very weak before she practised Falun Dafa. She had suffered from pulmonary emphysema, heart disease and many other illnesses. She had to depend on a lot of medication from day to day. After she studied Dafa and began practising, her health improved dramatically and, between 1999 and 2002 she didn't have to take a single pill.

In October 2000, after returning from a trip to Beijing to appeal, the village party secretary reported Zhao Yuezhen. She was arrested by personnel from the Jiaoxi Township Police Department. She was detained in a cinema in Jiaoxi Town, where she was forced to sit motionless for days at a time. She was not allowed to move, to talk or to drink water. The authorities tortured Dafa practitioners this way day and night. Because of the brutal torture, and the fact that Zhao Yuezhen was not able to do the Dafa exercise or study the Fa [the teachings of Falun Dafa] for a long time, she became extremely weak. In the end, the Jiaoxi Town government extorted 2,000 Yuan* from her family before they released her.

In June 2001, police officers from Jiaoxi Town Police Station searched Zhao Yuezhen's home without a warrant or following any legal procedures. Her son, who is not a practitioner, asked the police to show a warrant, but Kuang Zhonghua, the Jiaoxi Town Police Station Chief, tried to intimidate him. During the search, Zhao Yuezhen was arrested along with her niece Wang Qun, who is also a Dafa practitioner.

Zhao Yuezhen refused to give up cultivation and was secretly sent to the Zhangjiatun Brainwashing Centre in Jiaozhou City by people from Jiaoxi Town Police Station. Her niece, Wang Qun, was sent to the Dashan Detention Centre in Qingdao City. One month later, Wang Qun was transferred to the Zhangjiatun Brainwashing Centre and subsequently sentenced to three years of forced labour because she refused to give up cultivation. Right now, she is being detained at the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Zibo City.

Zhao Yuezhen was unjustly detained at Zhangjiatun Brainwashing Centre for four months, during which time she was brutally tortured. She was given only a small steamed bun and a small pickle for each meal, and had limited access to the toilet. The guards from the "610 Office" [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 or judicial systems.] often threatened her. Twice, Zhao Yuezhen almost passed out from the abuse and the security workers hired by "610 Office" saw it, so they reported this to the guards. However, the guards refused to release her and insisted that she write the guarantee statement to give up cultivation. Because Zhao Yuezhen didn't cooperate, the guards didn't send her home until she was on the verge of death. After returning home, her husband Zhao Zunming, also a Dafa practitioner, was sentenced to four years in prison, and her sister-in-law (a Dafa practitioner) was arrested by police soon after she returned home. During this time, Zhao Yuezhen was unattended while she was in very poor health. Zhao Yuezhen passed away, alone and uncared for, at the age of 47 within months of her release.
