A Brief Report of the Incident:

In November 2000, Ms. Shen Lijian was arrested for distributing Falun Gong flyers and was admitted to Qinglongshan Psychiatric Hospital in Nanjing by the Qinhua police department. She remains in custody at this time. She is mentally healthy but the hospital staff does not dare to release her as they cannot get permission from the police department.

Ms. Shen Lijuan was arrested and kept in Nanjing Psychiatric Hospital for four months because she went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong and because she refused to write a letter renouncing Falun Gong. After being released from the hospital, she was forced to attend an Anti-Falun Gong Brainwashing Class held by her employer, Nanjing Chenguang Factory in Nanjing city, Jiangsu province.

On October 1, 2000, Mr. Li Xueqin went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong. He was arrested and sent to an Anti-Falun Gong Brainwashing Class. Since he would not change his mind, he was detained in Qilongshan Psychiatric Hospital for more than two months.
