Dafa Practitioner Ms. He Xiuling of Yantai City, Shandong Province was abducted and taken to a brainwashing centre on September 1, 2003 and subsequently tormented crudely with physical and mental tortures. On March 4, 2004, she was sent to a hospital for surgery, which caused her death.

Ms. He Xiuling, age 52, was a resident of Yantai City. Because she practised Falun Gong, Ms. He was abducted by Yantai public security bureau's Zhifu District "610 Office" (1), and taken to a forced brainwashing centre on September 1, 2003. Because she refused to give up practicing Falun Dafa, Ms. He was unlawfully detained at the Zhifu Detention Centre, where she suffered savage torture and thus became ill.

On March 4, 2004, "610 Office" head Li and detention centre director Zhang sent Ms. He Xiuling to Yuhuangding Hospital. She refused to receive any injections, but the "610 Office" and the detention centre collaborated with the hospital to forcibly inject her with something, and punctured her spinal cord in the process. This caused Ms. He to die later. All these illegal activities were conducted without notifying her family members.

Ms. He's corpse is still at the Yantai Funeral Home, attracting very little attention from others, while her relatives have no way of appealing to anyone.

(1) "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
