Victim:

Ms. Xu Jiarong, 61 years of age, was a Falun Dafa practitioner in Anshun City, Guizhou Province.

Ms. Xu Jiarong was previously a book-keeper employed by the Anshun City Herb Company and lived in family housing at the Southwest Prefecture in the Anshun Liaison Transportation Station.

On October 26, 2000, police arrested Ms. Xu and detained her until the end of 2000 in the Second Detention Center. The local officials extorted 2000 yuan from her before they released her. They also forced her to attend many brainwashing sessions.

In July 2001, officers from the Xixiu District Police Department in Anshui City suddenly ransacked her home, arrested and detained her in the Heishitou Detention Center for more than two years. Then they sentenced her to seven years in prison. She was tortured in the Yang'ai Prison until she could not take care of herself. Her family requested her release many times. She was finally released. She died about ten days afterwards on May 13, 2008.
