A Zibo City, Shandong Province resident passed away on October 7, 2024, less than two years after she completed a prison term for practicing Falun Gong. Due to the physical torture and forced drug administration she experienced in prison, she struggled to recover and lived in extreme pain in her final years. She was 74.
After the Chinese communist regime began to persecute Falun Gong in July 1999, Ms. Wang Yuling was repeatedly targeted for upholding her faith. Because she went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong in 1999, she was held in a psychiatric hospital, where she was injected with toxic drugs and subjected to electric shocks.
In September 2002, two months before the Chinese Communist Party’s 16th National Congress, Ms. Wang was arrested and held in a psychiatric hospital again. She was again injected with and force-fed toxic drugs. The authorities later transferred her to the Zhangdian Detention Center and gave her a three-year labor camp term. While serving time at the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp, she was held in solitary confinement for an extended period of time, deprived of sleep and forced to watch propaganda materials demonizing Falun Gong.
Ms. Wang was arrested again in late August 2021 for talking to people about Falun Gong, after being followed by the police. She was interrogated in the Zichuan District Police Department. The police extorted 2,000 yuan from her before releasing her and putting her on house arrest. Her home was also ransacked.
Ms. Wang’s last arrest was in July 2022, when she was seized at home by officers from the Hongshan Township Police Station. The Zichuan District Court sentenced her to 1.5 years on September 6, 2022. She was transferred from the Zibo City Detention Center to the Shandong Province Women’s Prison shortly after.
Because Ms. Wang refused to renounce Falun Gong in prison, she was held in solitary confinement for five months. Four inmates took turns monitoring her around the clock. They also ordered her to write articles to denounce Falun Gong every day. When she refused to comply, they grabbed her hand and forced her to write. The guards also forced Ms. Wang to take unknown medications three times a day. The inmates would force-feed her if she didn’t comply. Instigated by the guards, the inmates beat and verbally abused her at will. She was also forced to sit on a small stool motionless for long hours and not allowed to use the restroom.
After Ms. Wang was released on January 30, 2023, she was very weak and struggled with severe complications from being drugged in prison. The suffering often worsened at night, sometimes causing her to scream in pain.
Ms. Wang suddenly passed out on August 31, 2024, and she was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor found multiple organ failure. She died two months later on October 7, 2024.
