Ms. Lin Daihong Abused and Critically Ill in Jiangyuan County Detention Centre, Jilin Province

On August 31st, 2007, Ms. Lin Daihong was arrested by police officers from the Shiren Police Station and detained in the Jiangyuan County Detention Centre. Her family continuously appealed to the Shiren Police Station and to the State Security Division of Jiangyuan County for her release, but they pushed responsibility back and forth. Meanwhile, the authorities of the Shiren Police Station tried to extort money from her family.

On September 7th, 2007, Ms. Lin's family asked Sun Jinghui (male), the head of the State Security Division of Jiangyuan County, to release her. He said that she would be sent to the Baishan Forced Labour Camp, and that only the director of the Police Department had the authority to release her. Ms Lin's family tried to find the director, but the officers hid the director's whereabouts, claiming that he was out of town.

On the afternoon of September 8th, 2007, Ms. Lin Daihong, who had been detained for nearly ten days, became critically ill due to mistreatment in the Jiangyuan County Detention Centre. In order to evade responsibility, the officers of the State Security Division called her family and asked them to bring her to the hospital for an infusion. Since Ms. Lin's family was short of money (her seven-year-old son could not afford school and they could not afford the hospital fee either), they had to bring her home. Ms. Lin used to be healthy and full of the energy. She was abused and became critically ill in such a short time. Moreover, the authorities of the Jiangyuan County Detention Centre and the State Security Division of Jiangyuan County avoided their responsibility to Ms. Lin and passed her off to her family when she was critically ill.

Presently Ms. Lin's family is investigating the suspects involved in this persecution case.
