1. Ms. Dou Guirong Died as a Result of Persecution; Her Elderly Mother Is Being Persecuted

Ms. Dou Guirong was a practitioner in Dagang District, Tianjin City, employed at a youth activity center. Ms. Dou began to practice Falun Dafa in 2004. Before the practice, she suffered from colon cancer. The illness disappeared soon after practicing Falun Dafa. She truly lived by the principles Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and everyone said that she was a good person. She was awarded the Model Worker award at her workplace.

In 2008, before the Olympic Games began, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) minions intensified the persecution of practitioners, claiming that it was in the best interest of the Olympics. The 610 Office in Dagang District arrested more than a dozen practitioners without a warrant, including Ms. Dou. They were released after several days. The detention shocked Ms. Dou mentally and physically. She developed health problems, which worsened quickly. She passed away on March 2, 2009.

The death of Ms. Dou presents a great hardship to her family, especially to her elderly mother. Her mother recognized the true nature of the CCP through her daughter's death and she clarified the truth to people. Members of the Fuyuanli Neighborhood Committee in Dagang District followed her and she was arrested on March 20, 2009. She was detained in the Banyanglu Police Station for more than 4 hours. Police ransacked her home and took Falun Dafa books and Teacher's picture.
