Case Description:
Mr. Zhang Guanglin, age 68, lived at Anqiu Village, Huangqibao Town, Anqiu City, Shandong Province. Before practicing Falun Gong, he was treated for multiple diseases. In the fall of 1998 he started practicing Falun Gong and reached a state of good health. After July 20, 1999, during the brutal persecution, he handed out truth clarification materials. Officials from the Huangqibao Town Police Station searched his home, detained him for 15 days, and took him to the local 610 Office to be brainwashed. They forced him to write the three statements. Mr. Zhang suffered from extreme physical and mental stress. In the fall of 2003 he declared the "three statements" he had written to be null and void. Because of the severe mental abuse, he lost his memory. Mr. Zhang died on December 5, 2004.
