(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Li Ping, 32, was a graduate of Beijing Forestry University. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1998. After she graduated from college, she landed a job in a Tianjin City government-owned company. For her excellent work performance, she was widely praised by her supervisors and colleagues.
After the persecution of Falun Gong began in July 1999, Li Ping went to Beijing at the beginning of October the same year, to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. She was illegally arrested by the Tiananmen Police Station. That same night, her local police station took her back to Tianjin. She was detained in her workplace for 15 days before she was allowed to work again.
In August 2000, because she said some fair words about some illegally-arrested practitioners, Li Ping was arrested again in a culture center by perpetrators hired by the Xingang Police Station. They took her to the Tanggu Detention Center and jailed her there for 45 days. In October 2000, Ms. Li went to visit a fellow practitioner and was arrested by the Hebei District Police Station. The police also confiscated her notebook computer worth 15,000 yuan and her cell phone worth 1,000 yuan. She was illegally detained in the Hebei District Detention Center for over 6 months and suffered numerous tortures there. Later, Ms. Li was transferred to the Tianjin Police Department First Detention Center. Three months later, she was sentenced to prison. She was detained in the Tianjin Women's Prison for 3 years and 6 months. Her family members were not notified at all of her whereabouts and they looked everywhere for her.
On December 19, 2005, Tanggu police arrested Li Ping again. After detaining her for over 20 days, they sentenced her to two years of forced labor education on January 16, 2006. At present, Li Ping is being held at the Tianjin Women's Labor Camp, where she is subjected to torture.
Due to the non-stop arrests, imprisonment and torture, Li Ping was severely devastated both physically and psychologically. A once young, healthy woman with a promising future, Ms. Li has been reduced to a weak and mentally disoriented person. Because she shouted, "Falun Dafa is good," Ms. Li was put in a confinement cell, where she was deprived of sleep. She was not allowed to go to the dining hall to have meals, nor was she allowed water to drink. She could not get in touch with anybody, except the people who monitored her around the clock. She could not send letters to her family.
Li Ping is about to collapse. She is extremely thin and terribly weak. She has stopped eating starting March 3. We hereby call on the international community to extend your helping hand to help rescue Li Ping!
