Ms. Li Yulian from Yilaxi Township, Yongji County, was reported to the police while distributing Falun Gong materials in June 2020. She was arrested and was to be detained for 15 days. Since it was at the height of the pandemic, she was released the same day.
Ms. Li was arrested and taken to a detention center on July 3. She was taken to the county hospital for a physical examination, including blood tests and chest X-rays. She paid over 600 yuan in physical examination fees. She was diagnosed with chronic pneumonia and high fever, and was sent home after four days of quarantine in the hospital.

On November 3, village officials and the head of the Armed Forces Office went to Ms. Li’s home and forcibly took her to the town government for a talk. Five people, including 610 Office staff and the Political and Legal Affairs Committee members, brainwashed her and threatened her child’s future to pressure her into renouncing her belief, but to no avail. She was released.
Village officials and the head of the Armed Forces Office took Ms. Li to the detention center again on January 5, 2021. After another physical examination, she was diagnosed with chronic pneumonia and liver hemangioma. She was taken to the Baishan Detention Center, which refused to admit her due to her high fever.
