Shijiazhuang City Dafa Practitioner Ms. Li Xiumin Tortured in Forced Labor Camp
(Clearwidom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Xiumin, who is illegally
detained at the first squadron of the fifth brigade in Shijiazhuang City Forced
Labor Camp, has been persecuted for a long time. Currently, she appears to have
symptoms of low blood pressure, and her life is in great danger. She needs
emergency treatment. Ms. Li Xiumin, 44, was employed in the Continuing Education Department in
Hebei University of Science and Technology. At the end of October 1999, she went
to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. Police officers from the
Shijiazhuang City Youyi Street Police Station and personnel from the Youyi
Street Community Committee illegally arrested Ms. Li. They detained
her in a small and dirty cell at the police station. She was handcuffed to a
chair for seven days, and both of her feet were injured from frostbite. Fifteen
days later, Ms. Li was illegally put into criminal detention. Two weeks later,
she was placed under house arrest and monitored by her work unit. In November
1999, her pay was suspended. On the evening of February 4, 2000, when Li participated in a group exercises
in public, she was taken to the Youyi Street Police Station. Her home was then
ransacked. A young policeman from Shijiazhuang City's Qiaoxi Police Department
pulled her hands above her head and handcuffed them to an iron case. Both of her
hands became swollen, as the handcuffs cut deeply into her flesh. As a result,
she had circulation problems in her arms for a long time, and her right thumb
was numb for six months. She was also deprived of sleep for seven days. On March 13, 2000, after an eight-day hunger strike, Ms. Li was sent for
three years of forced labor by the Qiaoxi Police Department. On March 15, her
work unit dismissed her. During her detention in the Shijiazhuang City Forced
Labor Camp, she was brutally abused both mentally and physically (please refer
to the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) article of May 25,
2003, entitled "The Bloody Violence I Have Suffered and Witnessed in
Shijiazhuang City Forced Labor Camp in the Past Three Years"). Under
pressure from the authorities, her husband divorced her and took custody of her
son. On April 5, 2003, when Ms. Li was released, she had wounds all over her
body. She was left with nothing at home, so she could only survive with support
from her parents. On November 14, 2003, six months after Ms. Li came home, a dozen police
officers from Shijiazhuang Yuhualu Police Station (a division of Shijiazhuang
Changan Police Department) broke into her parent's home, ransacked their home
and took Ms. Li away. Fortunately, she managed to escape from the police
station, but she had to leave home and live somewhere else to avoid arrest. In July 2004, Ms. Li tried to see her son, and the police from Heidi Police
Station and Shijiazhuang City Yuhua Police Station tracked her down and arrested
her. She was put into solitary confinement in the Shijiazhuang City No.2
Detention Center. On October 11, 2004, Ms. Li was again sentenced to forced
labor and is currently serving a two-year term at the Shijiazhuang City Forced
Labor Camp. Ms. Li's parents, nearly 70, and her teenage son have been appealing to the
government on her behalf. It was said that the main culprits for persecuting Li
are the members of the 610 Office from Hebei Province. Relevant parties and individuals are as follows. The fifth brigade of Shijiazhuang City Forced Labor Camp: 86-311-87752350,
