Yu Lixin 05.05.2002
YU Lixin, femal, 36 years old, was a cadre at Jilin City Workers’ Union [a government department] in Jilin Province.
YU started practicing Falun Gong in 1997, and soon the nine various medical conditions she suffered from all disappeared. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal, wanting to let the government know about the physical and the mental benefits she received from practicing Falun Gong. However, she was arrested, escorted back to Jilin by the Jilin City police, and illegally sentenced to five years in the Jilin Province Female Prison.
YU protested her treatment and tried to appeal, but no lawyer dared defend Falun Gong. She had no choice but to go on a hunger strike without water. The police subsequently tied her to a bed and tortured her for four months.
She was released in October 2001 because she was on the verge of death. After she returned home, the local police often went to her home to harass her. To escape further persecution, YU was forced to leave home.
On March 5, 2002, the police found her staying in a rented home and arrested her. Police at Jilin City’s Zhihe Police Station exhausted every means to torture her, subjecting her to such devices as the "Tiger Bench". [Practitioners are forced to sit on a small iron bench that is approximately 20 cm (6 inches) tall. Their knees are tied down tightly onto this bench, and their hands are tied back or on the knees. They have to sit straight up, looking straight ahead. Usually, hard objects are inserted beneath their lower legs or ankles to increase the pain.]
YU neared death several times as a result of the police’s torture, but on March 8, 2002, they returned her to Jilin Province Female Prison. In prison, she began another hunger strike without water and was later sent to the Jilin Province Police Hospital. Despite the fact that her blood pressure could not be detected, she was injected with neurotoxic drugs.
On April 5, YU fell into a coma and developed convulsions. She died on May 5, 2002. And even on the day she died, the official(s) at Changchun City's Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp still refused to let her husband, LIU Hongwei, who was himself sentenced illegally to two years of forced labor for practicing Falun Gong, see her for the last time. She left behind her 70-year-old mother-in-law and 8-year-old daughter.
