Ms. Li Weizhen, an employee of the Bohai Petroleum Company in Tanggu District, Tianjin City, has been persecuted many times because she practises Falun Gong.
In January 2002, Ms Li was arrested and sentenced to three and a half years in Tianjin Women’s Prison. She was tortured both mentally and physically. Due to the beatings that she endured, she only has a few teeth left. She also was fired from her job.
Ms. Li and Ms. Yang Yucui were arrested by the Tanggu police on April 2nd, 2009, while talking to people about Falun Gong. When they went on a hunger strike in the detention centre to protest their persecution, the guards grabbed Ms. Li’s hair and slapped her in the face, causing her to go deaf temporarily. Ms. Yang was tortured by policewoman Xu Yuping. She punched and kicked Ms. Yang with high heeled shoes and savagely force-fed her twice by inserting a thick plastic tube down her throat. Both practitioners were transferred to Banqiao Women’s Forced Labour Camp on April 17th, but were refused admittance because they had hepatitis. They were released the same day.
On the morning of January 17th, Ms. Li was arrested again and detained at the Xigu Police Station.
