A Call to Help Rescue My Wife, Zhu Luoxin

I started practising Falun Gong in January 1996 in Guangzhou City. In July 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the persecution of Falun Gong. On October 10th, 2001, I was arrested and sent to Guangzhou No. 1 Forced Labour Camp for two years of forced labour because I would not give up my belief. In the labour camp, from January 25th to June 8th, 2002, I was hung up outside under the sun on the exercise grounds of the No. 5 Team. Every day, I was hung up for 17 hours and was only allowed to use the toilet three times. The time allowed for eating meals and going to the toilet was 10 minutes. In 2003, I was released from the labour camp. I escaped to Thailand after five years of hardship, and was rescued to Finland by the International Refugee Association.

Falun Gong practitioner Zhu Luoxin

My wife, Zhu Luoxin, is 43 years old. She had a skin disease before practising Falun Gong, but after she started the practice, her health soon recovered. Zhu Luoxin used to work for foreign investment companies like Nintendo and Guangzhou Sohu Company as an assistant manager. On December 13th, 2001, the police from the Baiyun District of Guangzhou City arrested her when she was transporting Falun Gong materials in Guangzhou City. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison. She has been detained at Guangzhou Women's Prison for 8 years now. When she was first admitted to the prison, she was kept locked in a small cell for two years and ten months. Her hair turned grey. She was also tortured by other prisoners at the guards' instigation. She was forced to work intensively every day without pay to make cheap products for export.

My other family members were also persecuted for practising Falun Gong. My brother, Wu Zhijun, used to work at the Microbiology Research Centre of Zhongshan University Hospital in Guangzhou. Because he did not give up the practice, he was sentenced to 8 years in prison by the Wanxiu District Court in Wuzhou City, Guangxi. He used to be jailed at Guilin Prison in Guangxi. My mother, Wu Yuxian, 70 years old, used to be a vice president of Yuexiu District Chinese Traditional Medicine Hospital in Guangzhou City. She was sentenced to 7 years in prison because she did not give up her practice. During three years in prison, she was in critical condition as a result of torture and was bailed out for hospital treatment. But because of the brutal treatment she had suffered, she soon passed away. My aunt, Wu Yuwen, was a retired teacher from Jiangmen City No. 1 Middle School in Guangdong Province. She was sent to the brainwashing centre three times. She was tortured for more than a year the third time and passed away.

I have not seen my wife for 8 years. I have not received any information about her for a long time, and I really worry about her health. The prison does not allow me to write to her--it has kept from her all the letters I have written to her.

I call on the international community, international human rights groups, and all kind hearted people and governments to support me and help rescue my wife, who is detained in a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) prison, and help end the persecution.
