(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Sun Peijie, former head of
the Zhangpan Township Civil Administration Bureau in Xuchang County, Henan
Province, was illegally sentenced to four years in prison in 2001. He was
tortured to the brink of death at the Xinmi Prison in Zhengzhou City, and he
passed away on August 19, 2005.
Practitioner Sun Peijie was 39 years old. He had a bachelor's degree and
lived in Wei Village, Wunudian Town, Xuchang County, Henan Province, where he
worked as the head of Zhangpan Township Civil Administration Bureau. He was
cured of pleurisy and other illnesses after he started practicing Dafa in early
1998. He went to Beijing twice to appeal for justice for Dafa after the
persecution began in 1999 and returned safely from both trips.
In November 2001, Sun Peijie was reported when distributing truth
clarification flyers in the street. He was illegally sentenced to four years in
prison, and was held and tortured at the Xinmi Prison in Zhengzhou City. During
the detention he resisted the persecution by refusing to wear an inmate's
uniform and refusing to follow the perpetrators' orders. He held a hunger strike
and was held in solitary confinement at length, during which time he was
savagely tortured.
The prison authorities told his family to take Sun Peijie home when he was
skin and bones and showed symptoms of severe illness. He passed away on August
19, 2005.
