(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Dong Yanyun from Weifang City has been homeless for many years to avoid arrest and persecution. On January 6, 2006, the police arrested her at a department store as she distributed truth clarification flyers. She was later sent to Shandong Province No. 2 Women's Forced Labor Camp.

Ms. Dong, 55 years old, was an accountant working in the city's Environmental Sanitation Administration Bureau. Prior to practicing Falun Dafa she had deteriorating health. She had to rely on medication or an intravenous infusion when her condition was serious. Her illness symptoms became chronic and lasted for six months. After she began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, her physical symptoms gradually improved without medications. She could handle her daily work and lived her life according to Dafa, focusing less on personal advantages, caring more for others, and controlling her temper, which had been a problem for her in the past. Falun Dafa benefited her physically and mentally.

Her quality of life was enormously enhanced. Ms. Dong was happy, with a smile on her face all the time. Whenever or wherever she met people, she would tell them about the greatness of Falun Gong.

In July 20, 1999, the CCP and Jiang's Communist regime began the irrational, baseless persecution of Falun Dafa and practitioners. Ms. Dong used many kinds of reasonable methods to clarify the truth to people. In April 2001, as she was posting Dafa flyers at night, she was arrested and sent to the Weifang City Detention Center. During her detention, the police attempted to force her to give up Falun Gong, but she persisted in her belief and remained firm. She later was transferred to the Weicheng District School, run by the ruling Party, to be "reformed." She still firmly believed in Master and Dafa, and did not give up. With the power of her righteous thoughts, she fled the school and was forced to become homeless, although she had a warm home of her own.

She continued to peacefully tell the truth, expose the CCP's violence against Dafa practitioners, and make appeals to stop the absurd and cruel persecution. On January 6, 2006, someone who did not know the truth reported her to police as she distributed flyers at a department store. Agents from the Chenguan Police Station arrested her and sent her to the 610 Office. They later called in a another team of persecutors at the Weicheng District Police Station. They transferred her to the city detention center, originally called the Weichen District Detention Center. She was sentenced to three years of forced labor merely because she persisted in her belief in Falun Gong.

According to one source, on January 20, 2006, she was detained in the Shandong Province No. 2 Women's Forced Labor Camp, No. 4 Division in Wang Village, Zibo City.

We have heard that Ms. Dong is continuing in her belief and practicing Falun Gong. No details are presently available.

When you read this article, please send forth righteous thoughts to help Ms. Dong and other practitioners detained or imprisoned and those in forced labor camps, and encourage them to use righteous thoughts and righteous actions to escape from those morally bankrupt places. I hope that everyone, whether inside China or outside of China, and all organizations and associations with a mind of righteousness and goodness, including foreign governments, might step forward to rescue the practitioners being persecuted in China and stop this brutal persecution.
