Canadian Citizen Appeals for the Rescue of His Mother in China

(Clearwisdom.net)

Canadian citizen Mr. Xiao Jin, who currently resides in New York, is appealing to people from all walks of life to help rescue his mother, Ms. Li Guangzhen, who was arrested by police in China. Mr. Xiao learned about her arrest when he called his family in China on the evening of March 15, 2004. Ms. Li was allegedly arrested for distributing materials that clarify the truth about Falun Dafa.

Ms. Li Guangzhen is 66 years old, and lives in the administrative bureau dormitory area of Gongan County, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province. She has been a Falun Gong practitioner since 1997. On March 13, Li Guangzhen traveled to Butou Village to tell people the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong, and the local police arrested her after seeing her distributing Falun Gong materials. Witnesses of the incidence stated that another two elderly ladies were arrested at the same time, also for distributing truth-clarifying materials. Li Guangzhen is currently detained at the Gongan County Detention Center.

Mr. Xiao Jin's friend checked with the Gongan County Public Security Bureau and confirmed that Xiao's mother had been arrested. Li Guangzhen is facing imminent danger of being sentenced to prison or a forced labor camp. She is not allowed to meet with family members. Xiao Jin's father is an invalid who became paralyzed in a car accident. He needs assistance and is dependent on Xiao Jin's mother. After Xiao Jin called home, his father could not stop crying. He worried deeply about the safety of his wife, plus, he now has nobody to take care of him.

Xiao Jin is extremely worried about his mother and father, and deeply concerned about deterioration of his father's health.

The Chinese public security bureau's regulations are very clear that the police department may not detain senior citizens, pregnant women, disabled persons, overseas Chinese, and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The Gongan County Public Security Bureau has acted in violation of this regulation.

Mr. Xiao appeals to all kind-hearted people worldwide to urge the Chinese authorities to immediately and unconditionally release his mother and the other two Falun Gong practitioners who were arrested at the same time. They must be reunited with their families.

Ms. Li Guangzhen is a 66 year old housewife and has been a Falun Gong practitioner since 1997. She lives by the principles, "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." These principles guide her in all she does and all she undertakes.

One time, Li Guangzhen and her husband withdrew money from the bank. After returning home, they found that the bank teller had given them 20,000 yuan (1) too much. They instantly returned to the bank and told the teller about it. The teller was shocked to see such good people. They returned all the money that was not theirs and it became a story making the news all over town!

In May 2002, Gongan County Mahaokou Town Police Station arrested her when she was telling others the facts about Falun Gong. They detained her 20 days at the county detention center. On March 13, 2004, she was again arrested. Her elderly and invalid husband is now helpless. He can only stay in bed and has no one to take care of him.
