Fan Yaxiong 07..2000

FAN Yaxiong, female, 42 years old, was a teacher at the No. 15 Middle School in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. She lived in the Erzhong area of Qiaoxi District. Before 1990, FAN was the provost of a middle school.
Before July 20, 1999, she was appointed as vice principal of the school and was a well-respected teacher.

On July 20, 1999, right after Falun Gong was banned in China, FAN went to make a petition to the central government of PRC in Beijing, but she was captured by policemen on the way. The Zhangjiakou City Police Department, Mingdenan Police Station, and the Education Committee took turns to press her to give up practice of Falun Gong. Later she was put under house arrest.

On January 24, 2000, FAN went to Beijing again to tell people the truth about Falun Gong and officers from the Police Station in Tiananmen, Beijing, arrested her again. She was then transferred to the Qiaoxi Police Station, and later sent to Xuanhua Detention Center. In the Detention Center she went on a hunger strike to protest the inhuman treatment she suffered. Four policemen pushed her to the ground and tortured her. She was tortured to a critical condition, the police had to release her in the end of February of 2000.

In early March 2000, FAN went to Beijing again to make petition for Falun Gong even though she was penniless at that time. After arriving in Beijing, she was arrested by the police and brutally beaten up. Later on, she was incarcerated at the Xuanhua Detention Center where she was again subjected to brutal torture. The director of the Detention Center Sun led a group of police to beat FAN until she was near death. They stuffed her into a hemp sack and threw it into the prison cell. Other Falun Gong practitioners detained in the same cell opened the sack and found that her lower back had been severely injured, that her lower body couldn't move, and that she was in a coma. They immediately called for help. Seeing that she was near death, the police released her.

In May of 2000, FAN was arrested a fourth time. The "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Communist Party and all other political and judiciary systems) in Zhangjiakou City sent her to the Shalinzi Mental Hospital. They tied her up in a bed, and forcibly injected her with nerve-damaging drugs. During the period when she was detained, the police extorted over 20,000 Yuan from her using various excuses.

In June 2000, FAN was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor "education." While she was detained in Tanshan Labor Camp, the police beat, kicked, and cursed her every day. She went through all kinds of physical and mental torments. Two days after she was released from the labor camp, she passed away.
