Zhang Zhigen 01.25.2002

ZHANG Zhigen, female, 53 years old, was an employee of Zhangjiakou City Embroidery Workshop in Hebei Province. She lived on Gongyuan Road in Zhangjiakou City. She went to Beijing to make petition for Falun Gong on October 24 1999 and was arrested while doing the sitting meditation in Tiananmen Square. She was sent to Tiananmen Square Police Substation. The policemen beat her. Later, when she was sent back to Zhangjiakou City Qiaoxi Police Substation, the policemen performed a body search and confiscated more than 1000 Yuan (Chinese currency: an average urban Chinese worker's monthly wage is about 500 Yuan) cash from her illegally.

After that, she was detained twice, first for 10 days in Xuanhua Detention Center and then for 40 days in Huai'an Detention Center. They didn't release her until her family paid so-called fines of more than 10,000 and 3000 Yuan.

In April 2000, she was illegally detained in Xuanhua Detention Center for 17 days. Sufferings in the Detention Center caused her leg to turn into black and she could not walk, but no one took care of her. Only when her leg developed black and purple dots and she had blood in her urine was she released. She was carried to Zhangjiakou No.1 Subsidiary Hospital. The doctors had to amputate one of her legs due to the delay in treatment. She became disabled.

On October 6, 2000, ZHANG, on crutches, took a taxi to Beijing again. She was arrested while meditating in Tiananmen Square. She was detained in Zhangjiakou City Shisanli Detention Center for 9 days. The warden confiscated her crutches. She had to get help from other Falun Gong practitioners for everything, including going to the restroom. To protest the illegal detention, she went on another hunger strike. When her other leg started to turn black and she was dying, the detention center notified her family to pick her up. She was sent to Zhangjiakou No.1 Subsidiary Hospital again, where she was on intravenous drip for 24 hours and then released the following day. She went home, but never recovered. On January 25 2002, she died.

IN MEMORY website report stories of Falun Gong practitioners murdered under persecution by chinese communist party ( CCP).

According to incomplete statistics, within the past five years beginning on July 20, 1999, more than 3160 practitioners have been verified as being tortured to death in over 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. However, according to the government's official internal statistics, the actual number of practitioners who died after being arrested had reached 1,600 by the end of 2001. In addition, there are at least 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners who have been illegally sentenced to prison. Over 100,000 practitioners have been sentenced to forced labor camps. Thousands of practitioners have been forcefully sent to psychiatric hospitals to be tortured with injections that are damaging to the central nervous system. Large groups of Falun Gong practitioners have been forcefully sent to local brainwashing classes, where they have been subjected to both physical and mental torture. Many more practitioners have been severely beaten and had large sums of money extorted from them by so-called "law-enforcement officials." When large numbers of Falun Gong practitioners are beaten to death, injured, and their families are broken up, when they have to leave home and go from place to place because of the persecution, millions of Falun Gong practitioners' families, relatives, good friends and colleagues are also implicated and brainwashed to varying degrees. Listed below are the names of the Falun Gong practitioners who have died from torture, and a brief description of their cases. Hopefully, these dreadful experiences and agonizing scenes will arouse consciences and stir hearts all over the world.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa (about), is a practice of meditation and exercises with teachings based on the universal principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Practiced in over 50 countries world-wide, Falun Gong has roots in traditional Chinese culture. With government estimates of as many as 100 million practicing Falun Gong, China's Communist leader Jiang Zemin outlawed the peaceful practice in July 1999 (report). Since that time, Jiang Zemin's regime has intensified its propaganda campaign to turn public opinion against the practice while imprisoning, torturing and even murdering those who practice it. The Falun Dafa Information Center has verified details of 2829 deaths (reports / sources) since the persecution of Falun Gong in China began in 1999. In October 2001, however, Government officials inside China reported that the actual death toll was well over 1,600. Expert sources now estimate that figure to be much higher. Hundreds of thousands have been detained, with more than 100,000 being sentenced to forced labor camps, typically without trial.
