Her vision deteriorated during her first labor camp detention. For more than six months after she was released, she wasn't able to see or smell and had trouble walking by herself.

When her second labor camp term expired in 2002, the police took her straight to a local brainwashing center for further persecution. Her father was traumatized and died before she was released.

Ms. Zhou remains detained at the Wuhan First Detention Center following her latest arrest.
