A Falun Dafa Practitioner's 14 Year Old Son Is Arrested and sent to a Brainwashing Class

Li Zhongwen is Falun Dafa practitioner BaiYuzhi's son. Since his parents were illegally sentenced to a forced labour camp for practising Falun Gong, he has been living all by himself. He was recently arrested by the Shijiazhuang Jingxing police and put into a brainwashing class. They even forced Li Zhongwen, who is underage, to give up his belief in Falun Dafa and forced him to discontinue his studies in school.

On July 20, 1999, when Li Zhongwen's mother, Bai Yuzhi, was illegally sentenced to three years' forced labour, he was only 14 years old. In 2000, his father, Li Dongliang, was also illegally sentenced to three years' forced labour for clarifying the truth. However the child did not give up; instead he followed the principles of Falun Dafa and tried to be a good person.

The neighbours all know that Zhongwen is a very kind-hearted young man. Even when his family met with great difficulty, he still often helped those who were in need and brought home those who either lost their way, or were homeless or beggars. He made meals for them and took them to have a bath. Once there was a woman from another part of the country whom Zhongwen found sitting by his front door. After he learned of her difficulties, he allowed her to stay at his home for several days and even gave her his mother's dresses to wear. He also gave her some money, even though he himself had to rely on financial help from relatives. He clarified the truth of Falun Dafa to her and later this woman began to practise.

Once when Zhongwen wanted to visit his father, the guards demanded that he first write a guarantee letter to give up cultivation. Determined not to give in to the persecution, Zhongwen left with tears in his eyes. For over two years now, he has not had the chance to see his parents.

Zhongwen often clarifies the truth to people around him and so he also receives persecution by the followers of Jiang Zemin. In the middle of April 2002, he was arrested by policemen and was put into a brainwashing class, where he has been detained for an indefinite duration. He is persecuted severely both physically and mentally. This family who practise "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" is irrationally persecuted by being illegally sent to jail. In China, there are thousands and thousands of families that have been broken up under the persecution by Jiang's political hooligan regime. It is a reality under Jiang's regime that it is a crime to be a good person, and people will be sent to jail for speaking the truth.

Here we would like to appeal to the world organizations that protect children and those who are underage, please show your concern for this issue by helping to stop this severe human rights violation. For those who are responsible and are still committing crimes, please take them to court under international laws and restrict their evil actions with the law.
