On December 22nd, 2009, the Domestic Security Division of the Public Security Bureau arrested Ms. Jiang Yanling in Yi County. She was sentenced to 13 years by the Yi County Court in 2010. She was first locked up in Jinzhou City Detention Centre where she developed serious symptoms resulting from being persecuted for almost 10 months. The Jinzhou City Detention Centre secretly transferred her to the Liaoning Women's Prison around September 11th, 2010. This was the third time they had attempted to transfer her. She was tortured there and developed a tumour in her uterus, heart disease, and blood vessel tumours. She had serious symptoms, including spitting up blood and high fevers that would not go down. They sent her to the prison hospital. A few days later the prison called Ms. Jiang's family to come take her home because she was on the verge of death. She returned home on April 30th, 2011.

Ms. Jiang Yanling began practising Falun Gong in the Spring of 1999. She became healthy and felt her body and mind had been purified after she began practising. She was persecuted after the Communist Party started to suppress Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999.

On March 20th, 2001, while Ms. Jiang was visiting with friends, Zhang Yanfu, the head of the Yi County Political Security Department, and a group of police officers including Wang Zhanlin and Zhou Hualai entered her friend's home and arrested her. They took her to the Political Security Department of the Public Security Bureau and interrogated her for a long time. Zhou Hualai took notes. She was released the next day after the village officials from her hometown gave the County Political Security Department an IOU of 3,000 yuan¹ for her bail. Afterwards, the County Public Security Bureau and the local police station frequently went to her house to harass her.

One night in July 2004, the head of the Village Public Security Bureau and other officers, including Chen Fuzhi and Chen Nailian from the Chengguan Township Police Station, broke into her home. She was warned ahead of time and had already left. The police searched her home and confiscated her property, including her computer and printer.

The County Public Security Bureau and the Chengguan Township Police Station weren't able to arrest her, but afterwards went more frequently to her home and harassed her family. Ms. Jiang was forced to become homeless and destitute for five years and five months in order to avoid being arrested at home.

On December 22nd, 2009, Jiang Cheng, the head of the Domestic Security Division of the Public Security Bureau in Yi County, and over 20 officers from Yizhou Town Police Station in Yi County arrested Ms. Jiang, who was destitute and homeless at the time. They locked her up in the Jinzhou City Detention Centre. They confiscated her personnel items, including her laptop, printer, and DVDs.

On July 27th, 2010, Ms. Jiang's family members visited her in the Jinzhou City Detention Centre. Ms. Jiang had been tortured so severely that her legs and arms were completely numb. On August 30th, 2010, early in the morning, 7 or 8 of her family members went to the Jinzhou City Detention Centre to see about her. Cui Xiang, the assistant director of the detention centre, and guard Jin refused to let them see her. Her family said, "We have travelled a long distance and have brought her medicine." Cui Xiang and Jin said, "No matter what you say, you cannot see her. Her condition has deteriorated. Her blood pressure is up to 170 or 180. We will not give her the medicine you brought. We will only give her the medicine that we have prescribed to lower her blood pressure. She has taken one dose. She has heart disease and there is something in her lungs. Because of her hypertension we don't dare to operate on her." They waited until noon but were not permitted to see her.

During this eight-month period, Jinzhou Detention Centre officials tried to transfer Ms. Jiang to the Liaoning Women's Prison twice. The prison refused to admit her because her poor health, resulting from the severe persecution inflicted on her, did not meet their qualifications.

Around September 11th, 2010, Jinzhou City Detention Centre officials secretly transferred Ms. Jiang to the Liaoning Women's Prison on their third attempt. They persecuted her until she was in critical condition, then admitted her to the jail hospital. After they realized that she could die any moment, they released her to avoid taking responsibility for her death.
