Recent Situation of Persecuted Practitioner Ms. Shao Lihong from Jiaohe City
(Clearwisdom.net) Fifty-eight year-old Falun Gong practitioner Ms.
Shao Lihong from Jiaohe City, Jilin Province, has been staging a hunger strike
for a very long time in the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City to
protest the persecution. At this moment she is extremely weak and has been in
critical condition several times. Ms. Shao Lihong was a teacher. After she started to practice Falun Gong in
1996, she always disciplined herself according to
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Her physical and mental health
improved, and her morals also improved. This made people respect her very much.
After July 20, 1999, she did not fear the frenzied persecution and went to
Beijing to appeal and clarify the truth to people. She was
illegally detained and persecuted several times. At nightfall on November 11, 2005, four or five policemen suddenly broke into
her home and took her away forcibly. They put her in the Jiaohe City Detention
Center to persecute her. Ms. Shao staged a hunger strike to protest. Without
regard for her life and safety, Jiaohe City policemen sent her into the Heizuizi
Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City for further persecution. Ms. Shao has been on hunger strike to protest the persecution. The police
guards force-fed her in a brutal manner. As a result she had an ulcer in her
mouth and esophagus, and her lungs became swollen. The guards also forced her to
go into the canteen at every meal time. She is now extremely weak. She has been
at death's door several times. The officials sent her to the Jilin Province
Police Hospital for further persecution. Because Ms. Shao refused to give up Falun Gong, she was tortured. She
subsequently developed heart disease and liver problems. Her legs are swollen
and she has difficulty walking, too. The forced labor camp not only refused to
release her but also attempted to force her husband to sign a statement claiming
that the labor camp is not responsible for any fatal incident. When her husband
refused to sign, the guard threatened him many times. Ms. Shao's over
80-year-old father is in a late stage of lung cancer. Her whole family is in
great distress, but is not allowed to see her. Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Jilin Province: 86-431-5384312, 86-431-5384317
