1. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Ms. Li Zhiling Abducted to a Brainwashing Class and Suffers Barbaric Force-feeding

Since July 20, 1999, Ms. Li Zhiling from Changchun City has twice been sent to a forced labor camp because she persisted in steadfastly cultivating Falun Dafa. She was detained and persecuted at Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City for five years. Her term was illegally extended for more than a year past the original sentence.

On November 6, 2004, she walked out of the forced labor camp with dignity, although her body was covered with cuts and bruises. On January 10, 2005, as her injuries were just beginning to recover, more than thirty officers from the Erdao District Police Department abducted her again and took her to a brainwashing class. She has protested by going on a hunger strike, and was then force-fed by police.

So far, more than thirty recently abducted Falun Dafa practitioners are detained in this brainwashing class, while the number of abductions continues to rise.
