Li Yanlin (female), a Dafa practitioner from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, was arrested in April of 2001 and sentenced to three years in jail. Li Yanlin kept appealing her case because she did not acknowledge the sentence. She is currently held in a detention center in Wuhan.
When she started a hunger strike to protest the persecution, the prison force-fed her as a means of punishment. Recently, when her family members went to the detention center to deliver daily supplies to Li Yanlin, they noticed that the handwriting on the receipt was not hers. After her family demanded to see her, the detention center agreed that Li's father could see her. Li Yanlin had been tortured so severely that she developed suffered a mental collapse, and did not even recognize her own father. The head of the detention center told him that this took place on December 26, 2002. Li's father asked if he could bail her out of jail so that she could get treatment. The detention center replied that they needed to report the request, and get it approved. Li's father said his family has no money to pay the cost of therapy for Li Yanlin.
We firmly request:
- That the detention center immediately release Li Yanlin.
- That the perpetrator be severely punished, and that the responsibility of involved parties be investigated.
- That the detention center pay the cost of therapy for Li Yanlin.
- That the detention center pay any economic losses.
We appeal to international community, and to all human rights organizations to pay attention to this issue; we ask that you do everything in your power to investigate the savage behavior of Jiang's regime, and to stop these crimes against human nature, against society, and against humanity.
