Ms. Liu Shouyu, 72, lives in Tushan Town in the Nan’an District. On the morning of April 3, 2025, or the day before, more than a dozen people broke into Ms. Liu’s home and took her away. More than a dozen people ransacked her home later that day. Ms. Liu is now being held in Chongqing City First Detention Center in Yinglong Town in the Nan’an District.

2. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Ms. Meng Xianfang Abused in Detention Center

Ms. Meng Xianfang from the Shahekou District was arrested and taken to the Yaojia Detention Center on March 2, 2005. She was abused while in custody and is now in extremely poor physical and mental condition.

During the physical exam, Ms. Meng’s systolic blood pressure was as high as 280 mmHg, and she had kidney failure. The detention center doctor forced her to take antihypertensive drugs. Even though she was weak and powerless, she was still made to do forced labor, during which time she passed out on three occasions. Because of her poor health and slow work, the 30 detainees in her cell discriminated against her.

The guards also restricted the time she was allotted to use the restroom or wash, so she was once forced to relieve herself in her pants. Out of disgust and disdain, her cellmates stripped off her pants to wash her, which humiliated her.
