Luo Zhixiang 12.04.2002
On November 22, 2002, LUO Zhixiang was arrested by the Tianhe District's 610 Office and sent to a brainwashing class located at the Huangpu Drug Rehabilitation Center. After going on a hunger strike, she was sent to the Tianhe Traditional Medicine Hospital. Under suspicious circumstances, she fell from the 3rd floor on November 31 and suffered a fatal head injury. She died December 4th, while three months pregnant.
On December 5, 2002, upon hearing that LUO was dying, her parents-in-law arrived in Guangzhou with LUO’S young daughter. Once there, they found that LUO had died the previous day as a result of the persecution. They went to the Neighborhood Administration and the 610 Office many times, but no one showed any interest.
Twice, the 610 Office administrators tried to force LUO’s mother-in-law to sign a form stating that LUO had committed suicide. LUO’s mother-in-law refused. Based on the facts, LUO had been closely watched by three people during each shift. They said, "LUO was on a hunger strike for seven days. She could not even stand up. Who could believe she committed suicide?"
LUO’s husband HUANG Guohua, who was sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp for distributing Falun Gong materials, was not allowed to see her body for the last time. LUO's husband, HUANG Guohua, was still detained and being tortured in the Huadu Labor Camp in Guangzhou City. Their young daughter was under her grandparents’ care.
