On September 2, 2007, Ms. Zhou Liying, a Falun Gong practitioner from Inner Mongolia was arrested by the local Domestic Security Team Captain Li Buhe and others. Later she was sentenced to two years of forced labor. She is still detained in Group 3, Hohhot Women's Forced Labor Camp.

In the labor camp, as she refused to be transformed, she suffered physical punishments numerous times. Once she shouted "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good",  the guards took turns attacking her. She was not allowed to sleep for three consecutive days and not allowed to use the restroom for thirteen hours. On another occasion, the guards found that she was writing down "Falun Dafa is good", they forced her to stand for eight consecutive days, from December 24, 2008 (lunar date) to late at night on January 1, 2009 (lunar date). From January 18 (lunar date), the guards forced her to labor in the glove workshop for 15 hours a day. She couldn't see sunlight nor go to have lunch at noon. Every day she worked until 9:30 p.m.

Once CCP authorities organized a visiting group to the labor camp, and Ms. Zhou Liying shouted loudly "Falun Dafa is good." Lv Junmei, who monitored her, beat her violently, kicked her, and pinched her neck. They did not allow her to use the restroom, wash her face or brush her teeth. One time, Ms. Zhou went to the restroom without permission; thus she suffered another violent beating after she returned. Group Captain Chang Hong, Guard Huang Xuhong and Jia Xiaoling took every chance to beat Ms. Zhou violently.

Having been tortured physically and mentally, Ms. Zhou Liying lost 17 kilograms and became emaciated. She exhibited symptoms of several diseases. Ms. Zhou's relatives requested the labor camp to release her so she could receive medical care outside of the camp, but the guards refused their request. Moreover, the labor camp officials added two months to her detainment term because she refused to be transformed. The guards ordered drug abuser detainees to monitor her 24 hours a day and follow her closely wherever she went.
