A Child's Cry for Help: "Please Save My Mum!"
2010-02-22
On December 22nd, 2009, at 6:50 in the morning, I opened the door to go to school. A group of people rushed in, and without saying anything, they began to madly take all our Falun Gong materials. They took away many Falun Gong books, two computers (one of which was my dad's work computer), a printer, a cassette recorder, and some CDs and cassettes. After they made a huge mess in my home, they arrested my entire family and took us to Dadong Police Station. Later, they took my mum to Baifang Detention Centre in Dandong City, where she is to this day, still being tortured. -
