Case Description:
Ms. Rao Mingzhen, 54 years old, was from Leshan City, Sichuan Province. She used to be weak and suffered from many illnesses. In June of 1999, she began to practice Falun Gong and gradually became healthy. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, she remained firm in her practice of Falun Gong. In February of 2000, she traveled to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was detained at a police station, her home was ransacked, and they fined her a few thousand yuan. She was brought to trial and forced to write a so-called "Guarantee Statement." Her captors forced her to stand under the scorching sun wearing handcuffs. They tortured her through other cruel methods. Twenty days later, she was released from the police station, but forced to report to the local government daily. The authorities ransacked her home often. Before the New Year Eve of 2005, they ransacked her home again at night and insulted her. Soon after that, she passed away.
