Ms. Shao Benyan is a 46-year-old Dafa practitioner from Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province. She began practising Falun Gong in 1996. In October 2001, she was arrested for distributing Dafa truth-clarification materials and sent to a detention centre. She remained firm in her belief despite the torture. In July 2002, she was sentenced to three years of forced labour at the Wanjia Labor Camp. Because she never wavered in her belief, she was closely monitored, given very little food to eat, and forced to do intensive labour. As a result, both of her hands were rubbed raw and festered. Moreover, the police threw her in a confinement cell for one month. Recently Shao Benyan has become blind due to the torture and she is not able take care of herself. However, the labour camp still refuses to release her. We call upon the international community and human rights organizations to help stop the human rights abuses at the Wanjia Labour Camp and secure Ms. Shao's release.
