Ms. Tang Yiwen, female, 35, is a resident of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. On May 13, 2000, she was arrested when she appealed for Falun Dafa at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. While being held in custody, she was beaten by the Beijing policemen. She was released because she was on the verge of dying from the severe beating. On August 29, 2000, Guangzhou policemen took Ms. Tang from her home. She was sentenced to two-years of forced labor, and was detained at the Chatou Women’s Labor Camp in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. During her detention, she was monitored by the inmates, and was often deprived of sleep during the night. Because she has refused to give up Falun Gong, she is still being detained in the labor camp even though her sentence is up.
