Ms. Sun Li in Shijiazhuang City Is Extremely Weak Due to a Hunger Strike; Her Family Urgently Calling for Her Release

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Sun Li has been on a hunger strike for about 20 days and is very weak. Her family has called urgently for her release on medical bail.

Ms. Sun Li is 50 years old. On September 6th, 2005, she was arrested because they found the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" and other Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution. She was sentenced to prison for five years and six months by the Yuhua District Court at the beginning of March 2006. Ms. Sun was detained in the Second Detention Centre in Shijiazhuang City. The police in the detention centre constrained her in handcuffs and leg shackles. Ms. Sun believes herself to be innocent and has filed a lawsuit at the Intermediate Court in Shijiazhuang City.

After she was arrested on September 6th, 2005, Ms. Sun was detained and persecuted. The police once forced her to sit in the iron chair for 10 days and nights, not allowing her to sleep. When she was half-conscious, they forced a false confession out of her.

At the end of December the Yuhua District Court carried out a secret court investigation. Sun Li declared many times in front of the judge and the police that the affidavit she made in her half-conscious state was null and void, and that she did not harm society or anybody else at all. Ms. Sun was already very thin by then and also very weak. She demanded adamantly that she be released immediately.

Sun Li has already been on a hunger strike for about 20 days. She is very weak, but the police still shackled her with linked-shackles, in which handcuffs and leg shackles are linked together so that the victim cannot stand up, but only half-squat or completely squat.

Sun Li has been detained for more than 200 days. Her 80-year-old mother was very anxious for her daughter. Learning that her daughter went on a hunger strike for more than 20 days and was constrained in handcuffs and leg shackles, she became very anxious. The old woman called loudly, "No matter in which dynasty in history, victims have always been released on medical bail. I hope the officials concerned will conduct a careful investigation soon for the sake of an old white-haired woman, and rescue my daughter!"

To everyone with a sense of justice in China and overseas, please help to call for the rescue of Sun Li as soon as possible.
