(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioner Ms. Li Guomin from Tangshan City was arrested at her rented residence in Hancheng on January 28, 2011. Approximately seven officers from the Wenhu Road Police Station and from the Hancheng Police Station made the arrest, and took her to the Tangshan Detention Center. Ms. Li was later illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor.

Ms. Li Guomin, 53, is an employee at the Tangshan Construction Group. She suffered from many illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis when she was only 28 years old. She went to many doctors in search of a cure, but found no relief. Ms. Li started practicing Falun Gong in December 1995. Through faithfully following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, she elevated her mind and improved her moral character. In just a few months she regained her health. Ms. Li was so delighted. A person who needed others to take care of her turned into a kind and happy person who readily helped others.

Wenhua Road Police Station officers unsuccessfully attempted to arrest Ms. Li on August 11, 2010, so they took her husband, who does not practice Falun Gong, to the police department.

The police also searched her mother's home while looking for her on September 25, 2010. Her parents and parents-in-law, in their 80s, were saddened to hear that Ms. Li could not return home. The trauma caused Ms. Li's father-in-law to be hospitalized for a week, and her mother was bed-ridden for five days. All of her family members are worried about her safety.

Ms. Li was eventually arrested and held in the Tangshan Detention Center in January 2011, and was later sentenced to two years of forced labor. She is now being held in the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan.
