After suffering extensive abuse, Ms. Sun's life is in imminent danger. She is very weak, suffers from cramps all over her body, and cannot walk.

3. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Details on the Arrest of Ms. Han Li from Dalian City

On October 29, 2004, Li, Party Secretary of Jiaofang Neighborhood Administration Office, and Wang Hong of the Political and Judiciary committee of the neighborhood administration, broke into the home of Ms. Han Li's mother. They did not find Ms. Han there. Around 11:00 a.m. officers arrived at Paoya Residential Complex where she was doing some maintenance work. The officers and officials were from the Jiaofang Neighborhood Administration Office in the Ganjingzi District of Dalian City, Jiaofang Police Stations, Paoya Police Station, and the Comprehensive Management Office of Shanzhongcun Neighborhood Administration Office. The officers tried to coerce Ms. Han to quit practicing Falun Gong, which she solemnly rejected.

The officers then forcibly took her into custody without presenting any legal paperwork. The next day when Ms. Han's mother went to the police station to see her, the officers lied, saying that they knew nothing about her. After going through many channels to locate Ms. Han, her family found out that she is being held at Huanbao Hotel at No. 3 Xinghai Station in Dalian. Each practitioner is being held in a separate room and is monitored by three people. Ms. Han is now on a hunger strike in protest of the illegal detention.

Han Li is a nurse at the Petro-Chemical Hospital of Dalian Petro-Chemical Company. She was dismissed from the company in 1999 for her steadfast belief in Falun Dafa. Li Tingxu, head of the security division at the company, and Zhang Yi, the general manager made the decision to dismiss her. She was not able to go back to work or find a job in a state-owned company. Instead she was sent to various places for persecution by the local police station, including Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Dalian Forced Labor Camp, Dalian Drug Rehabilitation Center, and Shenzhen Detention Center.

After the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, Ms. Wang has been held in custody numerous times, suffering all sorts of inhumane torture each time.

On November 9, 2004, the police carried out a deceptive plan, telling the practitioners to attend brainwashing sessions; actually officials had decided to send them to a forced labor camp. Guo Weimin, manager of Manzhouli Water Company assisted Zhao Lishi and An Qingyuan, of the state security unit, in arresting Zhang Chunjie at work. Cui Hong was also arrested on the same day.
