(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Lu Fengling, a 35-year-old practitioner from Langfang City, Hebei Province, was illegally "arrested" in June 2001 and then given a 10-year sentence. She is being detained at Section 2 of the women's prison in Hebei Province. She is now on a hunger strike to protest her detention.

Before she learned about Falun Dafa in 1996, Ms. Lu had severe psoriasis, which tormented her to the extent that she could not sleep at night. She tried so hard to save 200 yuan for treatment. However, a thief stole the money when she went to the hospital for medication. At that moment, she nearly broke down. Her hard life and the ordeal of her illness made her not want to live anymore.

Her elder sister told her that only Falun Dafa could save her life. So Lu Fengling thought she would give it a try and started practicing. Her xinxing constantly improved based on the principle of Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance. Within six months she totally recovered from the severe psoriasis. Afterward, she never had the problem again.

On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin began his insane persecution of Falun Gong. Ms. Lu wanted to let everyone know the facts about Dafa and let them know that Falun Dafa is good. She was detained again and again. On June 19, 2001, at around 9 p.m., Yang Hua from the city police station, Sun Xiwang from the operative team, and 20 to 30 police broke into her home and arrested her. They confiscated her TV set, tape recorder, Dafa books and other items. They stole over 4000 yuan in cash. They cooked eggs taken from the family cupboard and then stole the pan. Their outrageous behavior frightened Lu Fengling's daughter, an elementary student, who kept crying.

For nine days and nights the police interrogated Ms. Lu. They tried to force her to admit that she had led other people in preparing the Dafa materials, banners, and the loudspeakers in that district. The policeman interrogating her said that if she did not admit this, the police would continue to arrest practitioners. (By that time, they had already arrested over 30 people.) Under this pressure, Ms. Lu truly feared that other practitioners would be arrested. Whether or not she actually did it, she stated that she had led people in Dafa work. Based on this admission, they gave her a ten-year sentence.

Ms. Lu was detained at Taihang Prison in Mengcheng City, Hebei Province, and suffered brutal torture. Because she refused to give up her belief, in 2004 she was transferred to Shijiazhuang Prison for further persecution. Ms. Lu is now on a hunger strike at the women's prison in Hebei Province to protest the illegal sentence imposed on her.
