Ms. Lü Qilan Arrested and Persecuted Twice

Ms. Lü Qilan was arrested on October 30, 2011. She was detained, subjected to forced labor and later held in a brainwashing center, where she developed serious illness symptoms and was sent back home.

Twenty-two days later, on November 28, Junan County 610 Office agents along with Chengxi Police Station officers deceived Ms. Lü into leaving her home, and they took her directly to the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Jinan City. Because her rib had been fractured due to abuse, the labor camp officials were afraid of being held responsible, and they allowed her to serve the term outside the labor camp. Junan 610 Office agents had to take her back home.
