(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Fu Lijun, a practitioner from Ziyang, Sichuan Province, was arrested on June 5 while posting truth-clarification material in an area near Jianyang. She was illegally sentenced to a forced labor camp and is now locked up at Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zizhong County.

Ms. Fu, born on September 28, 1973, was an employee of Sisanyi Factory. She resides at 207, building no. 10, Shizishan Sisanyi Factory, Yanjiang Town, Yanjiang District, Ziyang City. Her health has been poor since she was little, and modern medicine did not help her. Fortunately, she learned and practiced Falun Dafa, and her health improved tremendously. She became healthy, sincere and kind, and was eager to help others.

During the six years since July 20, 1999, Mr. and Mrs. Fu have suffered much persecution because they practice Falun Dafa: their home was repeatedly ransacked; they were detained and denied their worker's pay; they were insulted and disgraced in public on television and in newspapers; and they were harassed by public security officials. Furthermore, in these six years, they were under intense surveillance from the local public security office, and from plain-clothes policemen from the national security office. Their activities were tracked and monitored. The entire family of six suffered constant anxiety, and life was very fearful and tense.

On June 5, 2005, policemen again forcefully arrested Ms. Fu and secretly sentenced her to forced labor without notifying her family. The family learned about her fate from other sources a few days after she was sentenced and locked up in the forced labor camp.

The family is once again under serious crisis: Ms. Fu's father is paralyzed in bed, her grandmother who is over 80 years old is very weak and her mother Ma Bingyin is very ill in the hospital due to the long-term anxiety and fear that she has endured. Ma Bingyin's son is also very young. The entire burden is fallling onto her husband's shoulders. The elder family members are overcome with grief, and the atmosphere in the house is gloomy and sad.

A couple of days ago Ms. Fu submitted an opinion to the administration. In the opinion she pointed out that the sentence given to her by the Ziyang City Labor Reform Management Committee is illegal. For the past thirteen years, everything taught by Falun Dafa is in accordance with the sacred rights stated in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China for Chinese citizens.
