(Clearwisdom.net) On December 26, 2004, Ms. Xu Youlin, a Beijing Falun
Gong practitioner who has been illegally subjected to forced labor for eighteen
months in Southwest Beijing Female Forced Labor Camp, has been released after
rescue efforts from people living outside of China.
Ms. Xu is the mother of a practitioner from Germany. The German Falun Gong
practitioners are grateful for the help given by the German Government and the
International Organization for Human Rights. They would like to thank all the
people who signed a petition calling for the release of Ms. Xu, as well as those
who expressed their support by other means.
Just like many other practitioners in China, Ms. Xu was arrested after
exposing the persecution in Beijing. In early 2003, she was detained in the
labor camp illegally because she gave out leaflets. After Germany's
practitioners found out she was arrested in 2003, they immediately appealed to
German people from all walks of life for support in securing her release. Many
people stretched out their hands to help including the German Government, which
expressed concerns about Ms. Xu's situation. In a letter to Falun Gong
practitioners on November 30, 2004, the German Government said, "During his
visit to China, the German Premier mentioned Ms. Xu's case to the Chinese
Government."
Ms. Xu's son, who is living in Germany, said, "Public attention and
awareness is extremely important for exposing human rights violations. My mother
is only one of tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners who have been
innocently arrested. Her release is a step towards justice. We appeal to all
people to help end the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun
Gong."
