Shen Jianli 04..2002

SHEN Jianli, female, 34 years old, was a teacher in the Department of Applied Mathematics of Jilin University’s Nanling Campus, Changchun City.

SHEN Jianli went to Beijing five times to appeal, was arrested three times, and was sent back to Changchun for a total of 30 days of detention. On March 2, 2001, Jilin University authorities called her and her four-year-old daughter to the university and then forcibly sent them to a brainwashing class in the Nanguan District.

SHEN’s husband, ZHENG Weidong, also a Falun Gong practitioner, was a teacher at Jilin Electronic Information Advanced Technical School. He was arrested for producing Falun Gong materials and detained at No. 3 Detention Center in Changchun. On March 6, 2002, per order of the "610 Office", the Changchun Nanguan Court put ZHENG and thirteen other Falun Gong practitioners on trial for the second time.

During the trial, the police arrested many of the practitioners who went to observe the trial, and beat practitioners who defended themselves legally in court. SHEN was arrested at this time even though, according to Chinese law, she had the right to attend the trial as a family member.

In late April, she was tortured to death by police, less than two months after her arrest. Her husband, ZHENG Weidong, is still being detained. Their daughter is being taken care of by friends.

The Jilin University’s "610 Office" has verified the name of SHEN Jianli, indicating that they were in charge of her case.
