1.[Panjin City, Liaoning Province] Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Li Baojie is in Critical Condition at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Li Baojie from Panjin City, Liaoning Province was transferred from the No.1 Division to the No.2 Division at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. She refused to wear the prison uniform and recite the prison regulations. She has been on a hunger strike since her arrest. Currently, Ms. Li is receiving medical treatment at the No.1 Affiliated Hospital of Shengyang Medical University. The oxygen breathing tube could not be inserted, so the doctors decided to make an incision in her larynx.

On April 7, 2005, the forced labor camp authorities requested that Ms. Li's family sign a document and pay for the medicine. The family refused both and told the forced labor camp authorities to take the responsibility. The family also requested that they allow the family to bring Ms. Li back home for her recovery, but the No.1 Division head refused to allow this until after the family finished signing all the documents. Ms. Li told her family not to sign any document unless she agreed.

At present, Ms. Li's life is in peril. She has extreme difficulty breathing.

The forced labor camp has six divisions. More than 100 Falun Gong practitioners are on hunger strikes. The police hold down those practitioners who are on hunger strike and force-feed them.
