Ms. Yin Youlian from Ezhou City Arrested and Tortured

Ms. Yin Youlian, 32, was an employee at the Ezhou City Steel Factory. On January 11th, 2009, at the Changgang Farm in Ezhou City she and two other young female practitioners distributed Falun Gong flyers. While they were there, a local shop owner reported them. At 1 p.m, Cheng Zhiqiang and a group of officers from the Changgang Farm Police Station took the three practitioners away.

That afternoon, the three young women were taken to the Public Order Police Team of the Echeng District Police Department. Cao Zhengxiang and three policemen brutally beat the three women. At the time, it was winter and the temperature was below freezing. The policemen took off Ms. Yin Youlian's coat, leaving her in only a single layer of clothing. They beat her and turned a fan on towards her. She was tortured for the entire night.

On January 12th, 2009, the three practitioners were detained. Currently, Ms. Yin Youlian is still being detained and other two practitioners have been released from custody. According to inside sources, Ms. Yin was secretly sentenced to do forced labour. Her family has yet to receive any notification about her situation.
