(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Li Yun and Ms. Zhang Ling from Suizhou City, Hubei province were transferred to Hubei Women's Prison after a year in detention.
Ms. Li Yun and Ms. Zhang Ling were arrested on April 8th, 2008 by policemen from the Zengdou sub-police department of Suizhou City. The arresting officers included Li Jinbo, Liu Guoqing, Geng Jun, Zhang Yong, and Zhong Wen.
After the year-long detainment, policeman Li Jinbo submitted documents to the Suizhou City Middle Justice Department allowing him to transfer the practitioners to prison, but his request was denied. Subsequently, officials from the Zengdou sub-police department changed Li Yun's age records from 27 to younger than 18. Ms. Li was then forced to stand trial as a juvenile, and sentenced to three years and six months in prison. Ms. Zhang Ling was sentenced to a three-year term.
On April 13th, an official from the local detention center requested a meeting with Li Yun's family. The official informed them that Ms. Li's appeal had been denied. On April 16th, Ms. Li's family went to visit her, but director Zhang Hongyu informed them that he had already sent Ms. Li and Ms. Zhang to Hubei Women's Prison.
Recent information indicated that Ms. Zhang Ling had been tortured, and her hair had turned white. Her entire body is swollen, and she is unable to stand on her own; she appears to be near death.
Prison director Zhang Hongyu forced Ms. Li to sign a document stating that she would stop practicing Falun Gong. He ordered prison guards to tie her to a "Dead Man's Bed". Ms. Li was also tortured by guard Hou Xiaoling. Ms. Li was illegally transferred to the Juvenile Trial Justice Department, and while in custody, she spoke out loudly "Falun Dafa is Good." Hou Xiaoling beat her whenever she shouted "Falun Dafa is Good!" Ms. Li was bleeding from her mouth and her face was swollen.
