Ms. Su Cangxin Dies after Enduring Nine Years of Persecution

Feb. 5, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Su Cangxin, 55, lived in Dafeng Village, Weibo Township, Xinji City, Hebei Province. She began cultivating Falun Dafa at the end of 1997, actively spreading the practice in several dozen nearby villages and establishing a group Fa-study and exercise site in her home. Many people in the village benefited from the practice, especially her husband: all of his diseases disappeared.

After April 25, 1999, Ms. Su's family of five became a target for persecution by the Chinese Communist Party. In both July 1999 and July 2000, her husband was detained for more than three weeks in the Township Police Station. The station's director, Zhao Gentang, personally beat him very brutally.

Around May 26, 2001, the persecution was the most severe, and Ms. Su's husband was arrested by Xinji City 610 Office personnel Geng Chao and others. They took him to the city courthouse and beat him for five days. They hit his legs with a wooden stick, shocked him with an electric baton, used a rubber hammer to hit his back and a wooden stick to apply pressure to his thighs, and injected him with unknown drugs. On May 30, 2001, he was take to the Xinji City Detention Center and detained for almost a year.

By the end of 2002, the City 610 Office had detained three of Ms. Su's family members. Only her teenage son and her blind younger brother (who died in terror in 2003) were left. Officers confiscated several thousand yuan in cash and motorcycles from the family.

During the Olympics, the Xinji City 610 Office and the Weibo Township Police harassed her at home again. After nine years of repeatedly being harassed, threatened, and detained, Ms. Su could not bear it any longer. She became weaker and weaker and died on January 4, 2009.
