610 Office Agents Arrested Our Daughter-in-Law

We are the parents-in-law of practitioner Ms. Hu Nianxian. Our daughter-in-law was arrested by agents of the 610 Office¹ simply because she believed in the universal law of Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance.

Ms. Hu Nianxian is fifty-seven years old. On the morning of May 14th, 2007, the 610 Office of Jianli County, Hubei Province sent out agents to secretly spy on her. They followed her when she dropped off her five- and seven-year-old granddaughters at school. Then they watched her when she went grocery shopping. Once they found out she had returned to her home in Liancheng Village, Rongcheng Township, and that there was nobody around, they quickly called in several car-loads of agents waiting nearby. They broke into her home and, without any explanation, a couple of muscular men took her away

Why did they have to use several car-loads of men to arrest her? They knew what they were doing was illegal and unreasonable, so they were afraid to meet objections from bystanders. In fact, if they still had a little bit of kindness, they would have heard the desperate cries from the two little girls after they came home from school. "Who has taken my granny away? I am sick and my family does not have the money to treat me. My parents are migrant workers in another city. My granny has to brew herbal medicine for me every day! ..."

Our son died at the age of thirty-nine. The two of us plus our four grandchildren all lived off of the money earned by my daughter-in-law from working as a farmer. After every year's hard labour on the farm land, my poor daughter-in-law would always be exhausted. Everyone in the family would huddle together and cry. After crying, my daughter-in-law still had to endure the hardships and go back to work. She used all her strength and wit, went through great hardships and raised my four grandchildren through days, months, and years of hard work, and the government did not help us in any way. On many occasions, she starved herself to ensure that we, the old couple, got enough to eat.

Such a hardworking, strong and responsible Chinese woman! If she were just a bit selfish or just a bit weak in her willpower, she would have left us behind and married into another family. Then she would not have suffered so much hardship! Years of toil have severely damaged the health of my daughter-in-law--her legs were injured by the hard work and could not be cured by any means. She heard that Falun Gong could treat illness and help restore good health, and could cause people to become better people by following the fundamental laws of Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance, so she started practising Falun Gong in 1996. Soon her illness and pain went away. She became very healthy, strong, and energetic.

On July 20th, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners using money from the government. Since then, over and over again my daughter-in-law has been arrested, detained, jailed, and beaten. The police officers broke her finger and on one occasion, she fainted after a policeman brutally kicked her.

This time, my daughter-in-law was again arrested by agents of the 610 Office at her home and sent to a brainwashing centre in Wuhan. The 610 Office wants to wash away the law of Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance from her mind, which is unreasonable and bad. To get rid of Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance, do they actually want falsehood, evilness and competition? Do they want people to tell lies, do bad deeds and fight each other? Would that not cause unrest in society? That indeed is the source of all humankind's evil!

The 610 Office enters people's property without permission or the right to do so. The agents used force on my daughter-in-law for no reason and arrested her. Under no certain law, they destroy people's freedom and harm people for no rational reason. They disturbed my grandson's work in another city, and disturbed my daughter-in-law's healing process.

The 610 Office tramples on China's Constitution at will. We should all stand up and demand the eradication of this lawless organisation. The relevant people should be brought to justice. The legal execution department must immediately order the 610 Office to release my daughter-in-law. The 610 Office must apologise to my daughter-in-law and compensate her for her physical, mental and economic suffering.

Note
