(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Lin Jianhua went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong twice. The police arrested her on March 7, 2000, while she was on her way to a fellow practitioner's home. They detained her 45 days, finally taking her to the Hewan Forced Labor Camp with a one-year term.
Ms. Lin was arrested the second time on December 4, 2003 while she was talking to people about Falun Gong. The police ransacked her home and detained her in a brainwashing center. Ms. Lin went on hunger strike to protest. Two days later, the police took her to the Hewan Forced Labor Camp for another one-year term. This time, her term was extended for another half a year.

She never fully recovered her health, and under the long-term surveillance and harassment, Ms. Lin died.
