At approximately 10:00 a.m. on August 19th, 2009, Hu Shuzhi, chief of the Huangpi District 610 Office¹ led more than a dozen agents from the 610 Office, the Domestic Security Division of the Huangpi District Public Security Department and the Qianchuan Street Police Station, and broke into Ms. Li Juhua's home. They came in three cars, searched Ms. Li's home and then arrested her. Her family members were worried about her safety and wanted to send her clothes and other daily necessities. They used the address on the detainment certificate issued by the Huangpi District Public Security Department and went to the Wuhan City No. 1 Detention Centre, the Women's Detention Centre, the Women's Prison as well as several brainwashing centres in Wuhan City in an attempt to find Ms. Li, but with no success. In the afternoon on August 26th, after searching for more than a week, and with the help from some kind hearted people, Ms. Li's family finally found her. She was being held at the Erdaopeng Brainwashing Centre by the 610 Office.

On September 2nd, Ms. Li's family received more news. Officers from the Huangpi District Public Security Department told the Qianchuan Neighbourhood Committee that, "Li Juhua is 'sick' in the centre," and asked the family to give back the detainment certificate. Within 13 days, Ms. Li, a healthy person, had been persecuted to near death.

In the afternoon on September 3rd, Ms. Li's daughter went to the Erdaopeng Brainwashing Centre to visit her mother. The guard kept her from putting even one foot inside the gate. Ms. Li's daughter said, "My mother is sick. Why can't I just have a look at her?" The guard replied: "If you want to see her, go ask the Huangpi 610 Office and the Public Security Department."
