9. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Details on the Arrest of Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Li Xihui

Ms. Li Xihui, 42, is a model Communist Party Member at Sichuan People's Broadcasting Station. She is also a member of Communist Party Committee there. In late August this year, she was arrested at her home after being followed by members of the National Security Bureau. She was first detained at Pi County Detention City, and then transferred to Xinjin Detention Center.

The persecutors fabricated rumors saying that Ms. Li was a person in charge of Falun Gong, and that she has a member list with three hundreds names, etc. Using those excuses, Ms. Li's workplace was also implicated. Employees at the radio station lost their three-year bonuses. As a result, her employer has established a "collaboration team," and for the last month or so people have taken turns every day in trying to convince Ms. Li to give up her belief in Falun Dafa. However, Ms. Li has refused to answer any questions.

A few days ago, assistant station manager Xie Shaoqiu threatened Ms. Li, "You will be sentenced to prison if you still refuse to talk." But Ms. Li did not waver. Xie Shaoqiu was previously rewarded for aiding in the persecution of Falun Gong.
