Malaysia: Family Members and Friends Call for Rescue of Practitioners Arrested in China (Photos) By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Malaysia
(Clearwisdom.net) On November 5, 2007, practitioners from Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, assembled in front of the Chinese Consulate in Malaysia to
protest Beijing's recent illegal arrests of Falun Gong practitioners Zhang
Guodong and Tong Huanxiang from Weihai City, Shandong Province, and Long Guande
and Zhan Xuemei (husband and wife) from Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province.
Practitioners in Malaysia called upon people around the world to be aware of
these practitioners' plight and help rescue them. Practitioners assemble in front of the Chinese Consulate in
Malaysia to protest Beijing's recent arrests of Falun Gong practitioners Zhang Zijian calls for people of justice around the world to
pay attention to human rights issues in China Chen Jin hopes people from all walks of life will help rescue
Long Guande and Zhan Xuemei, and all practitioners who are still being tortured
by the CCP Falun Gong representative hands letter of protest to the
Chinese Consulate Zhang Zijian, the son of Zhang Guodong and a Falun Gong practitioner in
Malaysia, read the letter of protest in front of the Chinese Consulate: "I
call on people in China to stand up and help us rescue our friends, Falun Gong
practitioners persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). We strongly
demand that the CCP immediately and unconditionally release Zhang Guodong and
other practitioners. I also call on people around the world to pay attention to
the arrested practitioners and the worsening human rights situation in
China." According to Zhang Zijian, recently the CCP conducted mass arrests of Falun
Gong practitioners, democratic activists, human rights activists, and
appellants. Zhang Zijian learned that practitioners closely associated with
Zhang Guodong are also in danger. Mr. Zhang Guodong, 51, has practiced Falun Gong since 1998. He works hard to
improve himself and always puts others first. He follows Falun Gong's principles
of Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance in his daily activities and has won the
respect of local residents. Since the persecution started on July 20, 1999, Mr.
Zhang and other practitioners have remained steadfast in their beliefs and
continued to tell the government and the people the facts about Falun Gong. They
hope to end the persecution soon. Chen Jin from Guangdong Province is a friend of Long Guande and Zhan Xuemei.
Chen called on people from all walks of life to help rescue the practitioners,
especially Long and Zhan, who Long and Zhan were arrested and detained several
weeks ago. Zhan is locked in the Third Detention Center in Baiyun District,
Guangzhou City. Long's whereabouts are currently unknown. According to Chen, before the persecution, Mr. Long was a well-known
construction contractor in Guangdong Province and had more than 10 million yuan
in property under his name. After the persecution, Long, Zhan, and their two
young children were wanted by the CCP and had no place to stay. Their
multi-million yuan in property mysteriously disappeared. Chen said
that Mr. Long used to be bedridden before he practiced Falun Gong, and that he
and his family had benefited tremendously from the practice. Chen recently said, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner who was tortured by
the CCP in China. Being a witness of this unprecedented cruel persecution, I
stand in front of the Malaysia Chinese Consulate and strongly protest the CCP's
arrest of my fellow practitioners, Long Guande and Zhan Xuemei! I strongly
protest the CCP using brutal measures to persecute tens of thousands of
practitioners in prisons, forced labor camps, and brainwashing centers! At the
same time, I call on people of justice from all walks of life to lend us your
help to rescue Mr. Long and Ms. Zhan and all practitioners who are still being
tortured in prisons and forced labor camps in China. Let's hold up the human
rights torch and stop the CCP's violent persecution." Posting date: 11/8/2007 |
