A 52-year-old resident of Wulian County, Shandong Province, was released from prison in critical condition on August 23, 2024, only to be die four months later.
Ms. Li Fengying was arrested on October 10, 2022 for talking to people about Falun Gong, which she took up in 2011 and helped her recover from breast cancer and other diseases. She was sentenced to eight years with a 20,000-yuan fine on May 15, 2023. Despite her poor health as a result of torture at the Rizhao City Detention Center, the Wulian County Court ordered that she be transferred to the Shandong Province Women’s Prison (located in the capital city of Jinan) on August 8, 2023.
Just days into her prison admission, Ms. Li had to be rushed to the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. She was soon diagnosed with lymphoma (cancer in cells of the lymph system) and uterine cancer. Her request to be released on medical parole was denied. Both she and her family declined chemotherapy, but the prison hospital forced her to undergo the treatment anyway. She became weaker by the day. When her family visited her, it took her over one hour to walk a short distance to the meeting room.
As Ms. Li’s condition kept worsening, the prison eventually released her on parole on August 23, 2024. Nine guards escorted her home. She died around 4 a.m. on December 31, 2024.
