Case Description:
Mr. Li Jiwang was a teacher employed by the Yushu City Second High School in Jilin Province. He started cultivating Falun Dafa in 1999, was arrested after July 20, 1999 and detained once. He went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong three times and clarified the truth. He was arrested again in the autumn of 2004 because he was reported when passing out truth clarifying materials. He was sentenced to one year of forced labor at the Jiutai City Forced Labor Camp, where he was inhumanly tortured until his mouth was deformed. It appeared as if he had suffered a stroke. The labor camp notified his family to pick him up, but the Yushu City Police Department would not approve the paperwork. In autumn of 2005, Mr. Li Jiwang was finally released to go home, but he never recovered and died in October 2005.
