(Clearwisdom.net) (By a correspondent from Heilongjiang Province) In the past, Ms. Li had many illnesses. Her husband, Gao Guang'en, was unable to work because of cerebral atherosclerosis, hypertension, and myocarditis. Their family lived a very hard life. After they learned Falun Dafa, their sicknesses disappeared after only a few months of practicing. They lived a happy and healthy life.

Once the persecution started, her husband was arrested multiple times, the police extorted large amounts of money from the family, their home was ransacked, and they were harassed by the police. At 6 p.m. on May 21, 2002, the police stormed into their home, arrested Mr. Gao, and he was detained for several months in the Shuangcheng City Second Detention Center. Mr. Gao endured numerous tortures in the detention center, however, he was not released. Instead he was taken to the Changlinzi Men's Labor Camp to serve a one-year term. He was tortured until he passed out and fell to the ground, and could not walk. The labor camp finally released him, but local officers constantly harassed him.

Early in the morning on January 5, 2006, Mr. Gao, who was not fully recovered, collapsed while at work and died. (See http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2006/3/7/70579.html). Ms. Li was left to support the family alone.

On the morning of September 9, 2009, while Ms. Li was posting Falun Gong truth-clarifying material on an electricity pole, she was reported by the Shuangjing Village Chair, Zhang Dahai, and was arrested by officer Xu Kai from the Wujia Town Police Station. The police ransacked her home and she was detained in the Yaziquan Detention Center in Harbin City.

The Shuangcheng City Domestic Security agent, Tong Huiqun, submitted Ms. Li's case to the Procuratorate three times. The first two times the case was rejected, but the third time it was accepted by procurator, Zhang Hailong. Ms. Li's case was filed at the local court and she is facing trial. She has been detained in the Shuangcheng City Detention Center for two months.
