Case Description:
Ms. Li Weihong, 43, used to be a clerk at the Nangjing W. Rd. business center and lived on Hutai Road, Jiabei District, Shanghai. In 2000, police in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, forced hot chili sauce into her stomach using a naso-gastric tube. This caused her to roll on the floor in excruciating pain. Her esophagus, stomach, liver, and intestines were damaged. Ms. Li was sentenced to a year in prison. She was later sent to the Central Hospital in Jing'an District on bail. After the surgery, the doctor found abscesses in her stomach and intestines. Ms. Li died on April 19, 2003.
