Yuan Hezhen 07..2003
In May 2000, YUAN was arrested in Beijing and sent to a detention center where she went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal treatment. For this, she was brutally beaten, handcuffed in a painful posture and forced-fed. YUAN was tortured until she vomited blood, had bloody stools, and became extremely weak.
She was eventually released but was forced into homelessness to avoid further persecution. She died in July 2003.
Her husband, Sun Jihong, was arrested on September 25, 2002, and was beaten to death four days later.
