3. Persecution Facts of Practitioner Ms. Li Xiuying in Yishui County, Linyi City, Shandong Province

Practitioner Ms. Li Xiuying from Longshanguanzhuang Village, Huangshanpu Town, Yishui County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, was detained for six months in 2000 for going to Beijing to appeal.

At the beginning of September 2004, Liu Tingbiao (male) of the Huangshanpu Town 610 Office led lawless officers to arrest Ms. Li and ransack her home. They refused to tell her family why Ms. Li had been abducted or where she was being detained. They ransacked her home without any legal procedures. Her ten-year-old younger daughter was at home when they ransacked the place. Before October 2004, Liu Tingbiao led a group of officers to find her husband and try to make him pay them 1000 yuan for Ms. Li's living expenses. When Ms. Li's husband could not meet their demand, they threatened to send Ms. Li to the forced labor camp. Ms. Li's family dared not live at home any longer. They appealed at the Yishui County Appeal Office, the police department, the County Government and the County Political Consultation Conference but did not get any response. Ms. Li was sentenced to two years of forced labor without her family's knowledge. She is detained Wangcun Labor Camp located in Zibo City, Shandong Province.
