A Swedish Practitioner Appeals for Help from the Irish Government to Rescue Two Dublin Students Detained in China

Honourable Ambassador Patrick McCabe,

I wish to raise concern for a friend of mine, Liu Feng (with me on the picture above), and for Yang Fang, two Dun Laoghaire students detained in China. I am very worried for their safety.

They have valid visas to return to Ireland, but because of their spiritual belief in Falun Gong, an ancient Chinese practice that includes five simple exercises and follows the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, they have been detained and not allowed to return back to Ireland to continue their studies.

As you might know some people (former president Jiang Zemin and his regime) in the Chinese government started the ruthless persecution of Falun Gong in 1999. Many innocent people have died of torture during these 4 years and many people are suffering.

I learned that Liu Feng is in dangerous situation; he has been detained for 10 month with no visitors permitted to see him. I hope that the Irish Embassy in China can send an official to check on his safety.

On behalf of Liu Feng and Yang Fang I am now asking the Irish government for help to rescue them and speak out on their behalf. With your support these students will enjoy freedom again soon.

Yours sincerely,
[A Swedish practitioner]
