  2011-11-26
  Ms. Li Xiaoyan was arrested by officials on October 23rd, and was recently sent to the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp for the third time for practising Falun Gong. Earlier, in 1999, Ms. Li spent three years in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp because she had written appeal letters to explain the facts about Falun Gong. In the summer of 2002, she was released on bail for medical treatment because she was in very weak condition as a result of persecution. While she was in the camp, the Suizhong Agriculture Bureau fired her. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel often harassed her after she was released, and her husband divorced her because he could not endure the enormous pressure from the authorities.
