2. [Dianbai County, Guangdong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Lin Yanmei and Gan Huiling Are Staging a Hunger Strike to Protest Their Illegal Detention
On September 23, 2004, practitioners Ms. Lin Yanmei and Ms. Gan Huiling from Shuidong Town went to Guanzhu Town to visit a friend. They saw a Falun Dafa truth-clarifying flyer lying on the ground, they picked it up and gave it to a person standing next to them and clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to him/her. It turned out later that the person called the police. As a result, the practitioners were thrown into the Chengxi Police Station, Shuidong Town. A policeman there beat Lin Yanmei so badly that she was black and blue all over her body. The scene was horrible. He took her by the throat, choking her while beating her so as to prevent her from making any sound.
Right now, the two practitioners are both being held at the Dianbai County No. 2 Detention Center. They have been staging a hunger strike for seven days and their lives are in great danger. They are both good people who live up to "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Both have elderly parents and young children.
