Case Description:
14-year-old Ms. Wang Wenlan was a 7th grader at the Number 8 Middle School in Shuangcheng City, Helongjiang Province. On July 19, 2000, she went to Beijing with her mother and older sister to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. They were arrested and detained for seven days at the Shuangcheng City Liaison Office in Beijing. When they returned to Shuangcheng City, members of the local 610 Office interrogated, intimidated and threatened them. Wenlan's mother was forced to pay 700 yuan in fines. One day, when Wang Wenlan was in class, police officers from the Dongfeng Police Station went to her school and harassed her. She was only 10 years old at the time. Wang Wenlan was under constant and extreme physical and psychological pressure as a result of the persecution. She died on September 12, 2003.
