(Clearwisdom.net) On August 23, 2006, authorities in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, instructed the Lubei District Court to put practitioner Ms. Hui Hui on trial in order to sentence her to prison.
Ms. Hui, 43, was a laboratory worker who had been laid off from the Tangshan Second Paper Factory. She has a daughter with a congenital disability, a missing hipbone axis. In 1989 her husband died from exposure to poison gas. In addition to these misfortunes, she also had a housing dispute with her late husband's parents, who had her evicted from the house they shared in 1995. During the dispute, she had to stay with friends or live at her work unit. After a six-month lawsuit, she was finally able to move back into the house and was reunited with her daughter. In the meantime, however, her late husband's parents became her personal enemies.
Ms. Hui's work unit was not a profitable business and was frequently unable to pay her. As a result, her source of income was not reliable.
In about 1997, when Ms. Hui was approaching mental and physical exhaustion, she started practicing Falun Gong and understood the reasons for all the misfortunes she had experienced. From this time on, she conducted herself as a good person according to the principles of Zhen-Shan-Ren ("Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance"). In family quarrels, she searched inward for her own shortcomings. On her own initiative, she repaid the full amount of the home heating bill with money from her savings. She also realized that she should pay the house rent, so she gave rent money to her late husband's parents.
At the same time Ms. Hui was laid off from her job, her brother-in-law took possession of the house again. He had all her belongings removed from the house, as well as those of her daughter. Ms. Hui and her daughter became homeless once again. This time, however, she did not file a lawsuit against her late husband's parents. Instead, she assumed a practitioner's perspective and forgave them. She went to them on her own initiative to hand over her house key. She had voluntarily lived with her late husband's parents in a room that was crowded, narrow, and small. They were touched by her kind actions. From this time on, the parents ended their hostility, and the whole family began to live together in peace and harmony.
On the evening of April 15, 2006, the Xiangfeng Police arrested the good Ms. Hui, ransacked her home, and confiscated many of her personal belongings. They held her at the local police station overnight and then sent her to the First Detention Center in Tangshan, where she has been ever since.
We appeal to all good people to stand on the side of justice, resist this brutal persecution, and enable Ms. Hui to return home soon.
