Ms. Wang Xiaoyun, Arrested in China for Signing Up for NTDTV's International Vocal Competition, Currently Released on Medical Parole

(Clearwisdom.net) After the International Chinese Vocal Competition concluded, Ms. Wang Xiaoyun from Weifang City, Shandong Province was released on medical parole on October 28, 2007. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents had previously arrested her for signing up for the competition.

When she returned home on October 28, Ms. Wang found that the police had confiscated her computer, network card, MP3 player, a camera, her satellite receiver and antenna, a video player, two handset chargers, cash and her savings. The most disheartening discovery was the agents' theft of the photographs of the founder of Falun Gong, Master Li, and all Dafa books and Dafa materials. They even took personal photos, letters, a poetry anthology and other work she had produced in the past. They also took the invitation to the International Chinese Vocal Competition, as "evidence" for sentencing Ms. Wang to forced labor.

Ms. Wang Xiaoyun, approximately 50 years old, received the invitation from NTDTV on August 15. When she went to get her passport she clarified the facts, and spread news of the NTDTV event. It was likely that the passport official reported her, so the police arrested Ms. Wang at her home around 7:00 p.m. on September 28, 2007. They had carefully planned the arrest. They darkened the street lamps and the lamps in the corridor. More than 30 policemen broke into Ms. Wang's home. Ms. Wang persuaded them to sit down to listen to the facts. Undeterred, they invaded her bedroom and searched the entire home. They found a list of names of people who wanted to quit the CCP. Then the persecutors shoved Ms. Wang onto the bed and photographed her.

According to a witness, a policewoman grabbed Ms. Wang's hair and forcibly photographed her. They even grabbed her arms and said, "She wants to go abroad. Put her in prison and let her sing there." Seven or eight policemen carried her downstairs.

In the dark of night, the dozen police cars frightened the neighbors so much so that they hid in their homes. Ms. Wang Xiaoyun cried out, "Falun Dafa is good!" She was carried into a police car and taken to the Railway Police Station. The persecutors handcuffed her and tied her up all night, which injured her badly and made it hard for her to walk.

The next day Ms. Wang tried to escape. Unfortunately, someone reported her and made more trouble for her. As a result of further abuse, she could not walk again. When the police took Ms. Wang to a hospital, the doctor told the police that she was in danger of losing her life at any moment. The detention center officials refused to accept Ms. Wang in her precarious condition. Nevertheless, they still put her into a detention center, where she was in a sickbed for 30 days. She requested to do the Falun Gong exercises there.

On October 17, 2007, Ms. Wang Xiaoyun sang the Dafa songs, "Falun Dafa Is Good" and "Be Saved." Her singing moved the inmates, who praised the songs. Ms. Wang was released on medical parole on October 28, 2007.
