Editor's note: During Ms. Tang's detention, many people around the world called the related officials expressing their deep concern, and Ms. Tang's family members firmly insisted on her unconditional release. Due to the heavy pressure, the authorities released Ms. Tang several days ago. The following is a delayed translation. For the latest information, please refer to, "Truth-clarifying Activities and Calls to Chatou Brainwashing Center in Guangzhou City Help Secure the Release of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Tang Yiwen."

Tang Yiwen, the sister of Australian citizen Lisa Liang, has been on hunger strike for 17 days since she was returned to Guangzhou City's so-called "School of Legal Administration" in Chatou, Baiyun District. Her family was not allowed to visit her until March 11, when the local Public Security Bureau of Haizhu District, told her husband to see her immediately. Currently, Tang Yiwen is in critical condition.

On the night of February 23, 2004, seven Falun Gong practitioners in Guangzhou City were suddenly taken away by agents of the "610 Office" (The "610 Office" is an agency specifically established to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.). They were Falun Gong practitioners Li Qiong, Xie Miao, Tang Yiwen, Shi Bing and three others whose names are at this time unknown.

Before dawn on February 24, Tang Yiwen was sent to a brainwashing center in Chatou, Baiyun District of Guangzhou City. "The School of Legal Administration" in Guangzhou City is actually a place that exists to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Here, some police officers harass female practitioners at will, doing cruel things like burning them with cigarettes. Some Falun Gong practitioners have been detained there for two years. At present, Falun Gong practitioners Dai Yongmei, Zou Yuyun, Liu Yi, Wang Jiafang, and Lu Haiyun are still being detained there.
