Ding Yan 09..2001

DING Yan, female, 32 years old, was a hairdresser in Shijiazhuang City. On October 28th, 1999, more than three months after the start of the brutal persecution on Falun Gong practitioners, at least 20 Falun Gong practitioners held a clandestine press conference in a Beijing hotel. DING was one of the principal organizers of the press conference. On November 25th, 1999, she was arrested in Guangzhou. In June 2000, she was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

While incarcerated in different places, DING suffered various tortures by the police, including forced hard labor, very tight shackles, being hung while her hands were shackled behind her back, etc. In the Shijiazhuang Detention Center, DING was placed in an iron cage with nails sticking up more than an inch from the wood floor.

DING’s final detention-place was the Chengde City Prison. The prison guards there subjected DING to the "water jail" torture, where she was stripped naked and locked in an iron cage with spikes on all sides. The cage was filled with dirty water up to her neck. DING died in September 2001, after enduring months of the water torture.

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.
