Jianshui County Police Attempted to Send a Retired Physician to Prison

Ms. Li Yaping, in her 60s, is a retired physician from the Jianshui County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She lives in the residential area of Jianshui County People's Hospital on Beizheng Street. The Jianshui County police recently attempted to send her to prison.

On the evening of November 27th, 2009, Ms. Li was arrested by officers from the Domestic Security Division of the Jianshui County Police Department while she was speaking with people about Falun Gong. That night, more than a dozen officers from the county Domestic Security Division and the Chaoyang Police Station, led by Zhao Shilun, section head of the Jianshui County People's Hospital Security Division, went to Ms. Li's home. The officers ransacked her home and confiscated a computer, printer, Falun Gong books, and other personal belongings.

On May 17th, 2010, Ms. Li was sentenced to four years in prison and taken to the Yunnan Province No. 2 Women's Prison. The prison authorities refused to admit her because a physical exam revealed that Ms. Li had high blood pressure. On their return trip, the Domestic Security Division officers shouted that they would send her to prison within three months.

After Ms. Li returned home, the officers demanded that Ms. Li do three things: 1. Write statements to renounce practising Falun Gong and turn them into the Chongzheng Community Committee in Lin'an Town, Jianshui County. 2. Report to the Justice Office in Lin'an Town once a month. 3. Submit a request to serve her term outside of prison every year for the next four years. Ms. Li didn't follow their instructions, and since March 2011, she has no longer received her retirement pension.

Domestic Security Division officers Bai Hainan, Cao Jianling, Shu Yunchao, and others tried several times to send Ms. Li to prison before November 27th, which is the date of a one-year term. Ms. Li's family kept them from taking her away. However, the officers haven't given up and are still trying to arrest her.

Below are some of the people involved in persecuting Ms. Li:

Wang Zhijun, director of the Jianshui County Police Department: +86-873-7629101, +86-13908730798 (Mobile)
