Ms. Liu Jinhua Died As a Result of Persecution
Ms. Liu Jianhua, 44, was an employee of Hongjiang Weaving Equipment Manufacturing Factory. After she began practicing Falun Gong in the beginning of 1998, all of her health problems disappeared. She was well known to her neighbors as a kind person.
When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Ms. Liu Jianhua went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of the practice. However, she was illegally arrested by the Hongjiang City Police and sent to the Hongjiang Detention Center, where she was detained for over three months. The detention guards also extorted 4000 yuan from her.
In December 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal again and was arrested. The Hongjiang police took her back to her hometown and detained her for three months. She was later "illegally sentenced" to one year of forced labor and sent to Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province.
In 2002, the police ransacked her home and found Falun Gong related materials. As a result, they arrested her and sent her to a detention center for three months for the third time.
In 2003, 610 Office personnel broke into Ms. Liu's home, found one Falun Gong related item and used that as an excuse to arrest her for the fourth time. They then kept her at a detention center illegally for over seven months.
In November 2004, Huitong County police officer Yang Jinping arrested Ms. Liu while she was on her way to deliver truth-clarification materials. He dragged her by the hair for half a mile. Then he smashed her head against a car door until she lost consciousness because she refused to get in the police car. They took her to Huitong Detention Center, where she was immediately sentenced to two years of hard labor without even notifying her family.
At Zhuzhou City's Baimalong Forced Labor Camp, it is common that Falun Gong practitioners are detained in solitary confinement. Those who go on a hunger strike to protest the persecution are brutally forced-fed. Ms. Liu Jianhua was one of those practitioners who was cruelly forced-fed.
After being subjected to physical and mental persecution for many years, Ms. Liu developed high blood pressure and had problems with her heart, lungs and pancreas after being released from the labor camp. She also suffered from constant dizziness, memory loss, abnormal sweating and extreme weakness. She died on September 3, 2007.
