II. Mr. Luo's Wife, Ms. Xin Xiangcao Persecuted

Arrested for Appealing in Beijing

Ms. Xin Xiangcao is 52 years old and worked in Agan Township's Coal Heating Purification Station. On July 15, 2000, Ms. Xin and practitioners Xu Yonggui and Xi Guiying together went to Beijing to appeal to the government about Falun Dafa. At first, they could not find the Office of Appeals, and they were just wandering around Tiananmen Square for several days. When Ms. Xin and Ms Xi were near Wangfujing, a police car arrived and several officers jumped out. Without asking any questions, the police put the two practitioners in the police car and took them to Tiananmen Police Station. After being detained there for two hours, Ms. Xin was transferred to Xining Government's Liaison Office in Beijing. There were two police officers there who said, “Tomorrow, let's send this woman to Xining Prison.” Ms. Xin held a firm thought that she should not be imprisoned and was able to escape the next morning. She then returned to Tiananmen Square and saw practitioners from other places who were displaying banners. She went up to hold the banner and shouted out, “Falun Dafa is innocent! Falun Dafa's Master is innocent! Falun Dafa is good!” Before she could even finish, she was grabbed by a plainclothes police officer and was pushed into a police car. She was brought to Qianmen Police Station and held there for five hours without any food or water.
