(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. He Lingling is from Nanning City, Guangxi Province. She lived near the Guangxi Film Studio on Youai Road of Nanning City. She was arrested in 2005 and is now detained at the Nanning Second Detention Center. Since Jiang Zemin's regime started persecuting Falun Gong, He Lingling has been repeatedly detained and has been sentenced to a forced labor camp three times. She was released for medical treatment for health reasons.

He Lingling has a child who is in college. Her husband works at the Guangxi Film Studio as a guard. Because he needs to support their child and family, he can only give He Lingling 100 yuan per month. This is barely enough for the most basic necessities in the detention center.

In the Nanning Second Detention Center, the living conditions for practitioners are poor. For example, they are given breakfast only three days a week. Due to the long-term detention, she has had health problems such as high blood pressure and thyroid problems. Ms. He and her family repeatedly requested bail for medical treatment but were rejected because she refused to be brainwashed. Because they intentionally starve practitioners, compounded by her original health problems, He Lingling was constantly hungry. Sometimes she had to spend 10 yuan to buy some biscuits (they only cost one yuan outside of the detention center) and soak them in water to eat them. Other times she had to wash clothes for inmates so that they would give her their leftovers.

The warden used various means to force He Lingling to give up her belief in Falun Gong. However, she is very determined and refuses to give in. During more than one year of torture in the Nanning Second Detention Center, she has been doing the three things that a practitioner should do: study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth. Because of her efforts, many inmates have come to know the truth about Falun Gong. Sometimes many inmates join her to sing Dafa songs.

He Lingling's long-term detention and torture by the CCP caused her husband and daughter tremendous mental trauma. Her husband cannot help but shed tears when she is mentioned.

At present, there are still many practitioners detained in Guangxi Province. For example, police have

been torturing Ms. Liang Biyan from Nanning City to try to force her to report on other practitioners. However, she refuses to cooperate with them. Currently she is on a hunger strike to protest the torture and consequently she is being subjected to brutal force-feeding. Her life is in great danger. We hope that all practitioners in Guangxi Province can send forth righteous thoughts to support and rescue her so she can get out soon.

Ms. Lin Tiemei from Bobai county, Guangxi Province refused to be brainwashed or follow the orders and incitement from police in Guangxi Women's Labor Camp. The guards ordered inmates to beat her, fill her mouth with a mop and dirty socks, tape her mouth shut and force feed her every day. In February 2006, she was again sent to a mental hospital to be tortured. Her current whereabouts are unknown. Practitioners in Bobei County who know about her condition are encouraged to help expose the persecution she has been subjected to and help secure her release.

Dafa practitioners are a whole body, and one practitioner's plight affects all of us. No matter what has happened, we need to think about others. Meanwhile, we should actively get involved in rescuing detained fellow practitioners with our righteous thoughts and through other channels.
