Rescued by Practising Falun Gong, then Arrested by the Police

On April 29th, 2009 Ms. Lin Shuling, a Falun Gong practitioner from Anqiu City in Shandong Province, was arrested by officers from the Anqiu City Police Bureau at her home. She is now in the Anqiu City Detention Centre. After Ms. Li started practising Falun Gong in 2005, her cancer was cured. Police officers who took part in the arrest terrified her by claiming, "Practising Falun Gong is a crime. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) does not want you to practise. If you keep practising, you are violating the CCP directives."

Ms. Lin, 37 years old, is a resident of Sanli Village in Anqiu Township, Weifang City. Her sister began to practise Falun Gong and tried to talk to Ms. Lin into practising as well. At that time, Ms. Lin said, "I don't want to practise. Whoever feels like practising, go ahead. I don't believe in anything but money."

On December 16th, 2004, Ms. Lin gave birth to her second daughter. At that time she was in great pain from an undiagnosed condition. Her lower abdomen was swollen and she lacked energy. The doctor's said it was the shifting of her uterus. She tried different kinds of medical treatments, but nothing helped. Her situation deteriorated. Then she was diagnosed with uterine cancer. In great pain, Ms. Lin wanted to end her life.

When she was desperate, her sister brought her the recordings of Falun Gong teachings. Ms. Lin mumbled, "As long as my illness can be healed, as long as I live with a little bit less suffering, I don't care what you want me to believe, I've had enough."

Ms. Lin began to practise Falun Gong in the spring of 2005. She understood that Falun Gong teaches people to be good, not to fight over fame and profit, not to fight with others over profits, to think of others, and to look within. She also came to understand that her illness was a result of her selfishness and jealousy.

Through the improvement of her mind-nature, miracles happened. Her health improved, her pain became less, and she could eat and sleep well. Now she is very healthy. She feels wonderful, and she and her husband are truly grateful to Falun Gong.

At 9:30 on April 29th, 2009, Li Shenghua and other officers from the Anqiu City Police Bureau broke into her home. They ransacked it, including her garage. They confiscated Falun Gong books and other items. At around 10 a.m., two police vehicles were dispatched by officials from the Chengguan Police Station. Quite a few officers broke into her home, which attracted many bystanders. According to Ms. Lin's neighbour, Ms. Lin's husband was then work. The police told him to come home. They interrogated him in the residential police office where Ms. Lin lives. They tried to scare him, saying, "Did you know that your wife practising Falun Gong is a crime? The CCP does not allow you to practise Falun Gong. As long as you practise it, you are against the CCP. Who comes to your home? You have to tell us the truth. If not, you will be arrested, too." Her husband said, "My wife did not commit any crime. The reason why she began to practise Falun Gong was because she was sick. It was Falun Gong that allowed her to live. Now she can take care of the children and take care of our home. Why are you arresting me? First of all, I don't practise Falun Gong. Secondly, I did not commit any crime. Why do you want to arrest me? As to who often comes to our home, well, we have so many relatives and friends, whoever comes is welcome here. My wife can go to their homes whenever she feels like it. We are free to do that." Just then, their four-year-old daughter, in tears, said, "My mum's illness got healed because of practising Falun Gong."

Ms. Lin was detained separately and interrogated. She told the police officers how Falun Gong had cured her illness and how Falun Gong teaches people to follow Truth-Compassion-Forbearance and be good. Hearing this, one police officer even said, "The CCP only teaches people to follow 'truth, compassion, and beauty.' Whoever follows Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is against the CCP!"

After the police arrested Ms. Lin, her husband had to take care of their younger daughter. He has taken his daughter with him and gone all over the place to find his wife, but the police refused to tell him where his wife is detained.
