On September 2nd, 2007, Li Buhe, Commander of the local Domestic Security Division arrested Ms. Zhou Liying, a practitioner from Inner Mongolia. Later she was sentenced to two years of forced labour and now she is still detained in Group 3, Hohhot Women's Forced Labour Camp.

In the labour camp, as she refused to be transformed1, she suffered physical punishments numerous times. Once she shouted "Falun Gong Hao" (Falun Gong is good) and "Zhen-Shan-Ren Hao" (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good), and the guards took turns attacking her. She was not allowed to sleep for three consecutive days and not allowed to use the toilet for thirteen hours. Once the guards found that she was writing down "Falun Gong Hao", they ordered her to stand for eight consecutive days, from December 24th, 2008, to late at night on January 1st, 2009. From January 18th, the guards forced her to labour in the glove workshop for 15 hours a day. She couldn't see sunlight nor go to have lunch at noon. Every day she worked until 9:30 p.m.

Once Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials visited the labour camp, and Ms. Zhou Liying shouted loudly "Falun Gong is good." Lv Junmei, who monitored her, beat her violently, kicked her, and pinched her neck. They did not allow her to use the toilet, wash her face or brush her teeth. One time, Ms. Zhou went to the toilet without permission; thus she suffered another violent beating after she returned. Chang Hong, Commander of Group 3 and two jail guards, Huang Xuhong and Jia Xiaoling, took every chance to beat Ms. Zhou violently.

Having been tortured physically and mentally, Ms. Zhou Liying lost 17 kilograms and became emaciated. She exhibited symptoms of several diseases. Ms. Zhou's relatives requested the labour camp to release her so she could receive medical care outside of the camp, but the guards refused their request. Moreover, the labour camp officials added two months to her detainment term because she refused to be transformed. The guards ordered drug abuser detainees to monitor her 24 hours a day and follow her closely wherever she went.
