Details:

Ms. Gu Jianmin was sent to a forced labor camp for one year in June 2006 for her activities to inform the public about the persecution of Falun Gong. Not long after her release, on March 1, 2008, officers from the Yangjing Police Station in Pudong New District arrested her again. They then tortured her until she died on March 13, 2008, the thirteenth day of her arrest.

On March 13, 2008, an agent of the Pudong New District 6-10 Office called Ms. Gu’s husband, saying that she was not well, and that he should come and process a medical parole. To get the parole, they forced her husband first go to the Pudong New District Police Department and the Neighborhood Administration to complete paperwork, including a retroactive arrest warrant.

When he finally got to Renji hospital, he found his wife on the floor of a back room. Her eyes were protruding and she was bleeding from the mouth, but no one was caring for her. Her husband knelt down in front of the doctors and begged them to save his wife. A doctor conducted a hasty attempt at a rescue, then he declared that she was dead.
