2. [Lufeng County, Yunnan Province] Dafa Practitioner Li Zhen Has Been On a Hunger Strike for Over Twenty Days
Dafa practitioner Mr. Li Zhen from Yunnan Province was sentenced to forced labor in 2000. In February 2004 he was again sentenced to forced labor at the No. 6 Division of Yunnan Province's No. 2 Forced Labor Camp for distributing truth-clarifying material. In order to resist the persecution, Li Zhen has gone on a hunger strike several times. Beginning April 16, he started another hunger strike in order to tell people that believing in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is not a crime; exposing lies that slander Falun Gong and clarifying the truth to people are a right endowed by the Chinese Constitution. He demanded his release and that his reputation be restored.
When Li Zhen's family members saw him, they noticed that he was extremely weak and displayed symptoms of severe gastritis, enteritis and other problems.
