Case Description:
Ms. Huang Lisha was from Emei City, Sichuan Province. On August 22, 2002, Ms. Huang was unjustly detained by the Supo Police Station in Qinyang district of Chengdu city, and was held in the Chengdu Detention Center. Because she refused to give them her name, she was referred to as "Falun Gong Practitioner Number Two" and detained in the 11-4 group. To protest this illegal detention, Ms. Huang Lisha started a hunger strike on August 23. Later, she was force-fed food, drugs, and water. A reaction to the drugs caused her to vomit and pass blood. However, the detention center refused to release her. In late October 2002, Ms. Huang Lisha died in the Qingyang District Hospital of Chengdu City on Denglong Street.
