(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhu Shuangxi, from Zanhuang City, Hebei Province, was repeatedly persecuted and died on October 2, 2004.

Mr. Zhu Shuangxi, 58, was a farmer from Wujiamiao Village, Yuantou Town, Zanhuang City, Hebei Province. Before practicing Falun Gong, he suffered from a stroke and many other illnesses. After beginning Falun Dafa practice, his maladies disappeared.

In June 2003, members of the Zanhuang City Police Department and the local "610 Office" abducted him and ransacked his house. They detained and severely tortured him in Zanhuang City Detention Center for two months. Due to the torture, he became emaciated and weak, and many of his prior illnesses relapsed. The persecutors also extorted 5,000 yuan from him. After Zhu was released, on "sensitive days," (1) officials from the "610 Office" went to his house and harassed him. Under repeated persecution and pressure, Mr. Zhu Shuangxi left this world on October 2, 2004.

Notes:

(1) A "sensitive day" is a holiday or anniversary of a historic event on which Chinese citizens gather at public places in large numbers. The persecutors of Falun Gong often harass or arrest Falun Gong practitioners prior to these days, fearing that the practitioners would illuminate the truth about the persecution at the public events.
