(Clearwisdom.net) With rescue efforts from people from all walks of life, Hong Kong Falun Gong practitioner Liu Ding was released on the afternoon of June 22, 2006 from a detention center in Beijing. Liu Ding was illegally detained early this month in Beijing for distributing leaflets supporting the withdrawal of the CCP and its affiliated organizations. After being released, she was immediately escorted by the "police" officers to the Beijing Airport. She took the afternoon flight and arrived in Hong Kong in the evening. Before boarding the flight, the police illegally confiscated her China travel document.

Liu Ding recounted her 15-day illegal detention in Beijing. She was detained in a small room of 10-square meters with 13 other detainees. The conditions were very bad. But she kept doing the exercises and studying the Fa, and she also clarified the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong to her cell mates and officers who interrogated her. Her treatment was improved to certain extent. Liu Ding and her daughter Hu Ying who is in Hong Kong thank members of the Legislative Council Ho Chun Yan, Lau Wai Hing, Leung Kwok Hung and Cheung Man-kwong, as well as the Hong Kong government, including the Hong Kong Immigration Department for their rescue efforts.

Hong Kong Falun Gong practitioners and "Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners" Hong Kong Branch call on the international community to continue paying attention to the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong in China. At present, four Hong Kong residents are known to have been sentenced to prison by the CCP for practicing Falun Gong, and three of them have been released. Eight more Hong Kong residents' relatives in the Mainland who practice Falun Gong are still being detained in forced labor camps or prisons.
