Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Limao from Luwan District, Shanghai was arrested in October of 2004 and was sentenced to forced labour. She died in May after being injected with an unknown substance.

Ms. Li Limao lived on Huaihaizhong Street, Luwan District, Shanghai. She was reported to the authorities after revealing the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong to people in October of 2004. She was arrested by policemen from the Ruijin Station in Luwan District and sentenced to one year at forced labour. From April to May 2004, she was bailed out on medical parole because of a liver problem. She was forcibly sent to the hospital by the police, and at the hospital she was injected with an unknown substance. She died several days later.

Ms. Li Limao's husband divorced her about the time she was first detained. Her death was not widely known until February 2005.

Ms. Li Limao formerly suffered from cancer but completely recovered after practising Falun Dafa. She was arrested four years ago by the Luwan District 610 Office¹. The 610 officials tried to have her sentenced to three years of forced labour, but because of her physical condition, she was instead sentenced to three and half years in prison, which she served in the Shanghai Women's Prison. She was released in the spring of 2004, was harassed under close monitoring by the police until she was arrested again, and died in the hospital, murdered by agents of the 610 Office.
