Ms. Zhang Xiaoli and Her Family Suffer Brutal Persecution in Hebei Province

The tragic experience of Ms. Zhang Xiaoli and her family from Qingyuan County, Hebei Province has been reported on Clearwisdom.net several times. After Zhang Xiaoli was sentenced to a year in prison, her husband, Mr. Hu Zhanfeng, was also abducted and sentence to a year and a half in a forced labour camp because he refused to cooperate with the unreasonable requests of Fan Wenzhi, who is the head of Donglu Township, and chairman of the People's Committee. Both husband and wife are now detained in the Baoding City Balizhuang Labour Camp.

On December 1st, 2004, the police took their son, Hu Shan (16 years old) to the Township Government and beat him. They sent him to Qingyuan County Brainwashing Class afterwards. Hu Shan has been detained there for seven months now.

Recently it has been heard that Zhang Xiaoli is critically ill and extremely weak due to persecution in Balizhuang Labour Camp. She has been examined in Baoding City Hospital and found to have tumours in her abdomen and uterus. One is as big as a goose egg, and another one is as big as an egg. She also has a cyst in her ovary. She cannot eat; if she does, she will vomit. Ms. Zhang has become so emaciated that she now weighs just 100 pounds. The doctor in the No. 252 Hospital suggested that she be treated outside of the labour camp; however, Baoding City Balizhuang Labour Camp has shown no concern for her life at all and they refuse to let her go. Furthermore, they have forbade her over 70-year-old parents and disabled brother from visiting her in the labour camp. When her father asked to take her home to be treated, the police said, "We will treat her. When we are not able to treat her any more, then we will let you take her home."
