Ms. Zhu is single and lived with her younger sister. Gao Jun from the Changchun Police Department Domestic Security Division and seven officers from the Luyuan District Police Department and the Xi'an Plaza Police Station broke into Ms. Zhu's apartment at 7 a.m. on March 4. An officer hit her in the chin and shoulders. Gao Jun pushed her sister down and handcuffed her. Gao tightened the handcuffs, put a blanket over her face, and yelled, “I will suffocate you today!”

Ms. Zhu is now unable to walk. Her chest hurts and she vomits blood. She is unable to swallow and can only ingest liquids. Her family went to the police department to reason with Gao Jun. Several officers stopped them and one of them took their photo.

Prior Arrest and Forced Labor

Ms. Zhu was arrested on May 9, 2007, and held in the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp for a year. In the camp, the guards beat her, force fed her, and made her do hard labor.

As a result, she contracted diabetes, had serious heart problems, came down with a lung infection, and was malnourished. She had severe anemia and the doctor couldn't draw any blood from her veins. Her condition was critical, so the camp released her on June 4, 2008.
