Mrs. Li Ling, 51 years old, was a former Chief of the Labor Bureau from Guta District, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province. She practiced Falun Dafa and followed the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." Mrs. Li recovered from all sorts of ailments and was acknowledged by all as a good person. After the Chinese party started to persecute Falun Gong, she peacefully appealed on behalf of Falun Dafa but was unjustly sentenced to one and a half years at Shenyang Dabei Prison, Liaoning Province. The prison guards forcibly administered medications to Mrs. Li, which destroyed her central nerve system. Li Ling lost a significant amount of weight during the persecution, and went from 65 to 45 kilograms [143 pounds to 99 pounds]. She was released on April 26, 2001. On May 28, 2002, Mrs. Li was arrested again at her home by the Political Legal Committee in the Guta District and was again unjustly sentenced to four years in the Shenyang Dabei in Liaoning Province. Li Ling was persecuted to death on November 17, 2004.
