(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners in Germany are appealing to
the German government, international human rights agencies and the kind German
people on behalf of German resident Zhang Zhendan's wife Mrs. Wang Xiaoyan. Mrs.
Wang is a Falun Gong practitioner in Dalian City, Liaoning Province. In early
2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Because of that she was
initially detained in Beijing Office of the Dalian Police Department and then
transferred to the Dalian Detoxification Center to undergo brainwashing. After
being fined 3500 Yuan RMB, she was detained in the Dalian Yaojia Detention
Center for 15 days. (The average monthly income for an urban worker in China
is 500 Yuan.)

Xiaoyan was arrested again at the end of year 2000 for passing out Falun Gong
literature. She was first detained in Yaojia Detention Center and then sent to
Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for forced brainwashing during the 2001 Spring
Festival. She was released on bail due to medical reasons in October 2001. She
was closely watched and harassed by the Dalian Zhongshan District management and
the police. Her passport was confiscated, and she has been forced to leave home
and go from place to place to avoid further persecution.
