Summary: Chinese

principal of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance) and became known to
many as the innocent woman whose face was disfigured with electric
batons by the Chinese police for over seven hours simply because she
persisted in her belief, who was confined to a heavily-guarded hospital
ward for almost five months following the electro-shock torture until
she was rescued by a group of Falun Gong practitioners in October 2004
but was rearrested again in March 2005 and remained in police custody.
