labor in 2000. In February 2004 he was again sentenced to forced labor at the

truth-clarifying material. In order to resist the persecution, Li Zhen has gone
on a hunger strike several times. Beginning April 16, he started another hunger
strike in order to tell people that believing in
Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is not a crime; exposing lies that slander
Falun Gong and clarifying the truth to people are a right endowed by the Chinese
Constitution. He demanded his release and that his reputation be restored. When Li Zhen's family members saw him, they noticed that he was extremely
weak and displayed symptoms of severe gastritis, enteritis and other problems.
