Urgent: Chinese Authorities Pressing a Pregnant Falun Gong Practitioner to Have an Abortion in Order to Detain Her Longer

Message received on March 1st, 2000

Ms. Lu Yuzhen, female, 31, is a Falun Dafa practitioner from Feng City of Jiang-Xi Province and now pregnant. This January, she exercised her constitutional right by going to Beijing to appeal to the State Council Petition Office for the righteousness of Falun Gong. Later, she was arrested by the Jiang-Xi police station. The authorities are pressing her to have an abortion because they decided to detain her for a long term. We urgently appeal to the U.N. High Commissioner on Human Rights to investigate this case and offer your humanitarian help as soon as possible.
