Ms. Li began practising Falun Gong in May 1999. She suffered from gallstones and hyperthyroidism. She had two major operations and almost died. After cultivating Falun Gong, all her illnesses disappeared, and she no longer needed any medication.

At 6 p.m. on September 28th, 2009, more than 20 officers from the Yangjiang City and the Yangdong County Domestic Security divisions stormed into Ms. Li's home on the sixth floor. They confiscated all Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution and arrested Ms. Li. Her husband asked them who their leader was and did they have a search warrant. The leader said his last name was Au. He took out a blank search warrant, filled it out then and there, and forced her husband to sign his name. They took Ms. Li to the Yangdong County Detention Centre.

The next day, Ms. Li's family went to the Yangdong County Detention Centre to request her release. The centre administrator said they had reported her case to the Guangdong Province Police Department, and they could not release her without their permission.

After Ms. Li was released, officers from the Yangdong County Domestic Security division closely monitored her 24 hours a day, following her everywhere. They intentionally drove a motorcycle without a silencer around her home building, set off the theft prevention alarm on their vehicle after midnight to harass her, and threatened her. Under this intense pressure, Ms. Li died on January 18th, 2010. Her family is still under surveillance.
