Ms. Li Li Persecuted in Jiangsu Province Women's Forced Labor Camp

Feb. 11, 2008

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Li Li is currently being detained in the Jiangsu Province Women's Forced Labor Camp, (formally the Judong Women's Forced Labor Camp). Ms. Li has been on a hunger strike for more than 15 days to protest the persecution. She is very weak. Her family members requested that she be examined by a doctor, but the officials from the labor camp and the Gulou District 610 Office rejected their request.

On March 19, 2007, police arrested Ms. Li and detained her in the Nanjing City Detention Center. Two months later, on May 23, 2007, she was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor. On June 1, 2007, Ms. Li's family members went to visit her. She was very thin, both of her legs were swollen and she was losing her eyesight. Because Ms. Li refused to renounce Falun Gong, the camp police "punished" her by forcing her to stand under the scorching summer sun. Her skin was badly sun burnt and peeling.

On January 15, 2008, Hua (given name unknown), a police officer from the Jiangsu Province Women's Labor Camp, called Ms. Li's family and told them that Ms. Li had bit her finger until it bled and she unable to stand up. Ms. Li's family requested to see her. On January 17, 2008, Hua told her family members to come to the camp. However, when her family arrived at the labor camp, they were not allowed to see Ms. Li because she refused to renounce Falun Gong.

By January 17, 2008, Ms. Li had been on hunger strike for five days. Her family requested that she be examined by a doctor but the labor camp officials refused. The family was told to get permission from the Gulou District "610 Office" to see Ms Li. That afternoon, her family members went to the Gulou District 610 Office director, Qiu Linxiang, and made their request. Qiu, however, told them to go to the judicial department. Ms. Li's family was not granted permission to see her.

Ms. Li is 46 years old. Labor camp police tortured Ms. Li by taping her eyes open and depriving her of sleep. She has been on hunger strike for more than 15 days and is very weak. Ms. Li has other injuries and is unable to move by herself.
