Dafa Practitioners' Righteous Thoughts Stop Illegal Trial in Changchun

Press Release: Beijing Arrest of Mrs. Xiong Wei, former student at the Technical University of Berlin

On January 5th, 2002, police authorities arrested Mrs. Xiong Wei, age 31, a former student at Berlin's Technical University as she distributed Falun Gong truth-clarifying handouts to passers-by, detailing the persecution of Falun Gong in China. According to information received from her family, shortly following the arrest, police officers searched her home, looking for additional Falun Gong informational materials. Police personnel did find more flyers and also arrested her husband. Because of his highly skilled, irreplaceable expertise as a technician at his place of employment, his firm paid a certain amount of bond money and therefore was allowed to retain him. He is, however, under strict security watch. The authorities did not even spare Mrs. Xiong Wei's parents, although they are not Falun Gong practitioners. During a "home visit," the police, not producing a search warrant, confiscated their computer. Mrs. Xiong Wei's father is a 71-year-old professor of solar energy at a research institute. He is also a duly elected representative to the People's Congress. Mrs. Wei's mother is a physician. Both suffered a severe mental shock, which aggravated their heart conditions. As we learned from additional information from the family, Mrs. Wei has been taken away for "re-education."
