Ms. Wang Xiaoyun from Weifang City, Shandong Province received the invitation to participate in the New Tang Dynasty TV's (NTDTV) (a TV company that broadcasts programmes exposing the persecution of Falun Gong.) International Chinese Vocal Competition in New York. She signed up to take part and as a result was arrested by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents and was only released on medical parole on October 28th, 2007, after having suffered torture at the hands of the police.
When she returned home on October 28th, 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 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 labour.
Ms. Wang Xiaoyun, approximately 50 years old, received the invitation from NTDTV on August 15th. When she went to get her passport she 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 28th, 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 of Falun Gong. 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 neighbours 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 centre officials refused to accept Ms. Wang in her precarious condition. Nevertheless, they still put her into a detention centre, where she was in a sickbed for 30 days. She requested to do the Falun Gong exercises there.
Ms. Wang was released on medical parole on October 28th, 2007.
