(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Yi Shuling is thirty-seven years old and was a geography teacher at the No. 1 Middle School, second division, in Mengyin, a former experimental school. Practicing Falun Dafa and following the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" gave her a very happy family life, but she lost everything due to brutal persecution.
In July 2002, she was arrested and sent to the Mengyin County Detention Center. She began a hunger strike protesting the illegal persecution. A doctor from the Traditional Chinese Medical College used pliers and another device to open her mouth, and knocked out several of her teeth in the process. She suffered severe dehydration. The detention center was afraid to take responsibility for her condition so they sent her to the Mengyin 610 Office brainwashing class for continued persecution. Her leg muscles became atrophied, flies covered her body, and she emanated the smell of death.
To avoid taking responsibility for their criminal treatment, the Mengyin 610 Office brainwashing class forced Ms. Yi Shuling's sister, who does not practice Falun Gong, to come take care of her, with the hope that she would start to eat so they could send her back to the labor camp. In late August 2002, Ms. Yi was sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp and sent to the No. 1 Women's Labor Camp in Shandong Province.
Ms. Yi was brutally persecuted at the labor camp. Team leader Niu Xuelian of the No. 5 Battalion ordered that she be deprived of sleep for over a month. Team leader Wang Shuzhen of the No. 2 Battalion had her held in solitary confinement, bound and hung up for over two months, and also had her food and water drugged, which caused her severe stomach pain, voice loss and a stiff, swollen tongue. The guards used rope to tie her mouth tight, causing ulcerations at both corners of her mouth and leaving deep scars on her cheeks. Secretaries Lei Yancheng and Jia Yuxiang from the 610 Office colluded with the labor camp to send Ms. Yi to the Psychiatric Health Center in Shandoing Province for two months of psychological persecution. The staff used a nasal feeding tube to forcibly inject drugs which destroy the central nerve system. Lei Yancheng extorted three thousand yuan from Ms. Yi's family for medical expenses and confiscated the receipt in order not to leave evidence of the illegal persecution.
After extorting six thousand yuan from Ms. Yi, the 610 Office released her into the custody of her family, but Ms. Yi had been persecuted beyond recognition. Afraid of the criminal persecution being exposed, Lei Yancheng made Ms. Yi's family promise not to take her home until she had recovered her health. Her husband was unable to handle the tremendous pressure and divorced her shortly after she was released from the mental hospital.
Ms. Yi's salary has been withheld by the 610 Office since 2001. The total accumulation to this point is about sixteen thousand yuan. She went to her school and the 610 Office many times requesting to go back to work, but they used excuses to refuse her, including that she was not "transformed," and that she did not serve her full sentence in the labor camp.
In the summer of 2005, a school in another county hired her, but her peace did not last long. On July 19, 2005 at around 5 o'clock, deputy-secretary Feng Youlan from the No. 1 Middle School and Wang Wei from the 610 Office came to Ms. Yi's home, requesting to take her to the labor camp for procedures to release her from the sentence. She refused, knowing that there is no lawful procedure when it comes to Falun Dafa practitioners, and that they were trying to deceive her into going back to the labor camp for further persecution.
Several months later, on October 29, 2005, at around 9:30 p.m., Union Chairman Du Xingtai, deputy-secretary Feng Youlan from the Mengyin No. 1 Middle School and 610 Office officials attempted to arrest her. Ms. Yi Shuling refused to open the door. They sat all night and blocked the entrance of her building. She had no choice but to tear up her bed sheets and lower herself down from the sixth floor to escape. The next day, the 610 Office officials broke into her house and took her TV, VCR and other personal property.
Ms. Yi was forced to leave home and become homeless.
