On March 29, 2001 the Falun Dafa Information Center reported the news from Dalian City, Liaoning Province, that a disabled Falun Gong practitioner, Mr. Zheng Wei, died after being cruelly tortured in Dalian Labor Camp. This is the fifth Falun Gong practitioner confirmed to have been tortured to death at this labor camp in the last two years. Zheng Wei was disabled due to a severe hunchback condition. He had been illegally detained at Dalian Labor Camp for reeducation through labor because of his firm belief in Falun Gong. During the detention period, the labor camp did not show any sympathy for his condition, but instead tortured him, treated him inhumanely, humiliated him and made fun of him. He died shortly after his release in April of 2001.
