On 4 March 2017, human rights defender Li Xiaoling was illegally taken into custody by a force of over thirty police and placed under forced residential surveillance in the 2000 Year's Hotel in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province. Li Xiaoling had fled to her daughter's home in the city of Zhongshan, after escaping an earlier surveillance detention initiated on 27 February 2017. Soon after reaching her daughter's house, local police arrived with a force of thirty or more officers to take Li Xiaoling back to the 2000 Year's Hotel. The "Two Sessions" meetings consist of China's legislative body the National People's Congress and the advisory Chinese People's Political Consultative conference. The meetings are held annually each spring, and human rights defenders are frequently targeted for detention while the meetings are in session. No charges have been raised against Li Xiaoling, nor has any reason been given for the deprivation of her personal liberty, saying only that she was suspected of criminal activity. Arresting officers also informed Li Xiaoling that her detention was the result of an "order from above", but they refused to answer questions of what higher office was issuing the order. UPDATE: On 9 June 2017, it's reportedly that the WHRD is being mistreated in detention as she awaits trial on public order charges. Now, she is being held without access to daily exercise, and is unable to buy food or daily necessities such as medicines via an internal account, as other prisoners are. She said she needs eyedrops three times a day, and that her eyes are very painful right now. UPDATE: On 12 July 2017, it emerged that human rights defender Li Xiaoling has been kept under house arrest since her release on bail from a Beijing detention center one week ago. The treatment of Li Xiaoling during an earlier instance of detention, in which negligent action by police exacerbated an onset of acute glaucoma suffered by the defender while in custody, caused the WHRD now almost completely blind.
