Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Xueyi was the Deputy Director of Jiamusi City Commerce Bureau. He started to practice Falun Gong in 1996. On April 9, 2002, Zhang Xueyi was arrested at home by the policemen from Xinli Police Station and sent to a detention center. He was released after being illegally detained for half a month when a family member bailed him out. After that, Zhang Xueyi was constantly harassed by the district director and policemen from Xinli Police Station. Therefore, his mental condition gradually deteriorated.

In October 2008, many policemen from Xinli Police Station went to Zhang Xueyi's home to harass him. Due to all the stress and fear, he became sick. On November 6, he was sent to a hospital for treatment. After coming back from the hospital, he became absent-minded. In January 2009, Zhang Xueyi was sent to the hospital again because he could not speak and half of his body had no feeling.

In the middle of February 2009, some policemen went to Zhang Xueyi's home to harass him again using the excuse of obtaining his picture. The harassment caused Zhang Xueyi's wife to have a sudden stroke. She was sent to the hospital on February 25 and stayed in the same room as Zhang Xueyi. Their son, daughter-in-law and niece spent all their time taking care of the old couple. Around lunch time on March 28, Zhang Xueyi passed away at 70 years old.

Li Yuanrong Persecuted in Wumaping Prison of Leshan City, Passes Away

In early 2006, 11 Falun Gong practitioners from Chongqing City and Yibin City of Sichuan Province and Yunnan Province were arrested while they were studying the Fa in Louba Town, Yibin County. Five of them were illegally sentenced after being detained in Yibin County Detention Center for 9 months. Li Yuanrong was sentenced to five years in prison. On March 9, they were transferred to Wumaping Prison of Leshan City, Sichuan Province for further persecution.

In Wumaping Prison, these old Falun Gong practitioners were forced to stand or sit cross-legged for a long time. They stayed outside every day and were not allowed to sit on a chair. The weather is constantly changing at Wumaping Mountain. Therefore, they were seriously abused physically. Guard Gao Hu interrogated and harassed each Falun Gong practitioner, such that Li Yuanrong's blood pressure elevated and his health condition deteriorated rapidly. In order to obtain their signatures, Gao Hu told them that they could sit on a chair if they signed guarantee letters to renounce Falun Gong.

Under the long-term harassment, Li Yuanrong collapsed in July 2007. He passed away after several days.
