(Minghui.org) Dr. Li Lixia was emaciated and pale when she finished serving an 18-month prison term in September 2025 for practicing Falun Gong. While still recovering from the physical and psychological trauma she endured in custody, she faced constant surveillance and harassment from the local justice bureau, the police, and the street committee.
Dr. Li, 31 and of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, was not home when the police from her hometown in Huapi Town, Xinle City (which is under the administration in Shijiazhuang City) came to harass her in November 2025. They called her family every few days, trying to pressure them to make her give up her spiritual belief.
Upon learning of her ordeal, Dr. Li’s lawyer condemned the authorities’ illegal act. He told her that she has the right to sue the specific individuals who shadowed, surveilled, harassed, and threatened her.
Dr. Li, who graduated from Hebei Medical School, was arrested on March 25, 2024. The Qiaoxi District Court in Shijiazhuang City sentenced her to one and a half years after April 2025 (exact time unknown). Her appeal was rejected by the Shijiazhuang City Intermediate Court and she was ordered to serve time at the Shijiazhuang City Second Detention Center.
Dr. Li is not the only Falun Gong practitioner in Shijiazhuang City who faced continued persecution after serving wrongful prison terms for their faith. Ms. Li Dongmei (no relation to Dr. Li), in her 50s, was arrested in July 2019 and sentenced to ten months by the same Qiaoxi District Court in April 2020. She also served time at the same Shijiazhuang City Second Detention Center, where she was force-fed, forced to do hard labor, and once deprived of sleep for six days.
After Ms. Li was released on May 18, 2020, the police from her hometown in Dugu Town, Xinle City, showed up at her home in June 2020. They produced a pre-prepared statement to renounce Falun Gong and ordered her to sign. She ripped the statement into pieces and the police left. They called her family numerous times between March and April 2021, and asked about her daily activities.
