Ms. Liu Hefang, a Falun Gong practitioner who worked at the Jialing Factory in Shapingba District, Chongqing, has been detained and persecuted at the Shimahe Women's Forced Labour Camp in Jiangbei District since September 18th, 2009. During the last two months Ms. Liu started a hunger strike in protest of the persecution. She was brutally force-fed many times by the police, causing the food they forced down into her stomach to burst out from her mouth.

In prison, Ms. Liu often tells people, "Falun Gong is good!" She also continuously explains the facts about Falun Gong to the drug addicts. The guards become scared and torture her using all kinds of cruel methods. Facing such torture, Ms. Liu does not stop clarifying the truth and resisting her maltreatment. The guards put Ms. Liu into a small cell to torture her even more brutally.

Ms. Liu is still being held in the small cell. Her body is very weak due to long-term abuse. She needs others to hold her when she uses the toilet, and she cannot manage her daily life.

At 7:30 p.m. on August 18th, Ms. Liu was arrested by Liu Xueru, head of the Zhanjiaxi Police Station in Shaba District, Chongqing, along with more than twenty police officers. Nine practitioners were taking a break in front of the Cultural Building of Jialing Factory, and all of them were arrested by the police. Six of them were released that night. Yang Hongying, Liu Hefang and Li Guilan were detained at the Baihelin Detention Centre, and after fifteen days of detention, they were directly sent to the Shaba Women's Forced Labour Camp for one year of forced labour.

We ask for help from kind people around the world. Please help stop the brutal torture of Falun Gong practitioners by the guards at Shimahe Women's Forced Labour Camp. Please help rescue Ms. Liu Hefang.
