Ms. Lin Lisha, 51, lived in Leshan City, Sichuan Province. On January 22nd, 2001, the police persecuted Ms. Lin and 50 other fellow practitioners by tying them up, hanging a board on their necks, sentencing each of them from one to three years of forced labour, and broadcasting this whole process on TV for several days.

In March 2004, officers from the Zhong District 610 Office1 arrested Ms. Lin. She went on a hunger strike for more than one month to protest the detention. When her life was in danger, her family posted bail for her release.

In the middle of October 2005, Ms. Lin was arrested again while distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people the facts about Falun Gong at the Zhong District Court. The police had her sentenced to five years in prison and detained her in the Yangmahe Women's Prison in Jianyang City. By the end of June 2009, Ms. Lin had been abused so much that she was thin to the point of deformity. The Prison Administration returned her to her family to avoid taking responsibility for her condition, but she died only a few days after being released.

Note

1. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
