Ms. Yang Liyan, a Highly-Skilled Engineer, Is Illegally Detained

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yang Liyan, 32 years old, is a project cost engineer for the Meilin Jiye Group in Guangzhou City. On the morning of January 19, 2010, Ms. Yang was arrested at work by police officers from the Qianjin Police Station affiliated with the Guangzhou City Police Bureau Tianhe Sub-Bureau. Her home was subsequently ransacked, and officers confiscated her work computer, a home desktop computer, laptop, Falun Dafa books and materials, and other items. That same day, Ms. Yang was held at the Guangzhou City Tianhe Detention Center. Soon after, her family was informed that she had been sentenced to one year in a forced labor camp. Police officers used the excuse that she practiced Falun Gong in order to convict her, and that she was held previously for 15 days back in 2004.

Ms. Yang is a key employee in her workplace. As is customary in Chinese business dealings, several clients offered her gifts of cash or gift cards. Last Chinese New Year, one client tried to give her 5,000 yuan, yet she declined all offers. She worked well with her colleagues and management team. She supported other employees' activities, worked overtime on a regular basis, and seldom complained.

Ms. Yang's child is only two years old, but she cries very hard every day, missing her mother. The persecution happened suddenly to her family, plunging them into a state of fear and chaos. Ms. Yang's elderly parents traveled all the way to Guangzhou City where their daughter is detained, hoping that she would return home soon.

Her family discovered that Ms. Yang's physical condition has deteriorated drastically. After a medical examination, members of the Guangzhou Forced Labor Commission refused to accept her into any labor camp, yet officials from the Guangzhou City Tianhe Detention Center kept her in detention. Under these conditions, Ms. Yang's family demanded her immediate release.
