Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Li is 50 years old and lived in Qishe, Changgangling Village, Shuanghe Town, Yongji County, Jilin Province. She started practicing Dafa in July 1999 and experienced tremendous physical and mental improvements from the practice. Jiang Zemin launched a persecution against Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, and used the state media to slander Dafa. Based on her own experience, Liu Li explained the wonders of Dafa and the facts of the persecution to people.

Shuanghe Town Police Station deputy head Liu Jie, local police officer Sun Youfeng, and driver Yang suddenly broke into Ms. Liu's home at noon on February 28, 2006, and ransacked it. They took a computer, a printer, cash, bank deposit slips, and ATM cards, among many other things. Shuanghe Town Police Station head Liu Junpeng beat Liu Li until her head bled and she lost consciousness. They took her to the Shuanghe Town Police Station and savagely beat her there before taking her overnight to Jilin City Detention Center. Arrested practitioner Liu Ze was also in the same car with Liu Li. He was taken to the Yongji County Custody Center. The detention center authorities refused to accept Ms. Liu because of her numerous bodily and head injuries. The police took her back to the Shuanghe Town Police Station.

Liu Li was taken to Yongji County Hospital on March 1, 2006, where she was subjected to a so-called physical examination, after which she was taken back to Jilin City Detention Center. She refused to cooperate with the officials and went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. They brutally force-fed her. She has been held at Jilin City Detention Center until this day.

The guards told her husband that they would release her if he paid them 20,000 yuan, which he did. Nine months later, her ill husband is still waiting for his wife to come home.
