(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Xiaoli, from Nanwang Village (in Donglu Township, Qingyuan County, Baoding City), was arrested on November 2, 2004. On the same day, she was "illegally sentenced" to three years of forced labor and was detained at Baoding Forced Labor Camp. Ms. Zhang was tortured until traumatized at the labor camp. Moreover, the guards have detained her there beyond her original sentence.

On August 26, 2007, Ms. Zhang's term of forced labor expired. Her husband, Hu Zhanfeng, requested Baoding Forced Labor Camp to release her in the middle of August. Political head Yan Qingfen and division head Zhang Guohong replied that they would release her by December. Their excuse was that Ms. Zhang violated the regulations of the forced labor camp.

Ms. Zhang's family was in deep sorrow since Zhang Xiaoli was illegally arrested and taken to the forced labor camp. In addition, she was tortured until traumatized and developed various illnesses. Her life was in danger several times.

Over the past few years, Ms. Zhang's husband, Hu Zhanfeng, and her son, Hu Shan, tried various ways to have her released. As a result, they were implicated and persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party. At that time, Hu Shan was 16 years old. He had been detained in the County Detention Center for nearly one year. Hu Zhanfeng was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor and was detained at Baoding Forced labor Camp. His medical (doctor) license was canceled. Zhang Xiaoli's family used all kinds of means to appeal for her release. They visited relevant authorities and demanded her unconditional release. In addition, they submitted lawsuit papers to the court, Procuratorate and other relevant authorities.

In June 2006, it was reported that Ms. Zhang Xiaoli was savagely persecuted at the camp; that she was hung up for a long period of time many times. At the same time, she was shocked with electric batons. At around 4:00 a.m. on June 14, guard Bai Jie handcuffed Ms. Zhang to the bed frame and prevented her from sleeping the whole day. Bai Jie shocked her with an electric baton and her screams of pain awoke all the people in the building. Now Ms. Zhang Xiaoli has been traumatized due to the torture.
