Ms. Zhang Li was reported to police when she talked to people about Falun Gong on December 16, 2020. She was arrested by officers from the Datang Police Station. Both her and her mother’s homes were ransacked. Although the police didn’t find any so-called evidence, they still forced her family to sign a bail pending trial before releasing Ms. Zhang that evening. 

Ms. Zhang’s case was submitted to the Yuexiu District Procuratorate at the end of June, 2021. It was transferred to the Liwan District Procuratorate in October, 2021, which handed the case to the Liwan District Court at the end of 2021.

Ms. Zhang went missing on January 13, 2022. It is believed that the Liwan District Court has illegally changed the enforcement measure about her and had her arrested.

Ms. Zhang, about 60, worked as an accountant. She was previously arrested or detained multiple times for practicing her faith, Falun Gong. She was held in a forced labor camp for 3 years. Agents from the community office and police station harassed her for extended periods.
