(Clearwisdom.net) (Correspondent from Liaoning Province) Ms. Qian Ruixian, 51, is from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. At around 11:00 a.m. on August 13, 2009, someone reported her to the authorities as she was distributing fliers about Falun Gong and the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong at the Legou Supermarket in Yuhong District. As a result, she was illegally arrested and taken to the Liutiaohu Police Station. Ms. Qian is currently imprisoned at the Shenyang City Detention Center in Liaoning Province where the guards refuse to let her family members visit her.
At around 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. on the same day, the police went to a bicycle parking lot near Ms. Qian's building and called her husband. They tricked him into going to the lot by telling him that Ms. Qian was unconscious. When Ms. Qian's husband rushed to the lot, the police forced him to take them to his home. Then they ransacked his house and confiscated a computer, printers and other belongings.
At around 10:00 p.m. that same night when Ms. Qian's husband arrived at Liutiaohu Police Station, he saw the police dragging his wife into a police car. The police lied to him, saying that they were taking her to the Yuhong District Police Station when in fact they were taking her directly to Shenyang City Detention Center in Zaohua Town. She is still being detained. Ms. Qian's family members have gone to the detention center several times to visit her, but they have been turned away each time by the guards. Moreover, the police still often go to her home to harass her family. When the police asked Ms. Qian's husband if anyone else in the community is a practitioner, he always replies, "No."
Before Ms. Qian practiced Falun Gong, she suffered from several illnesses. After she began practicing Falun Gong, all of her illnesses disappeared. Her husband has been unable to work due to illness. Ms. Qian has been the only one able to work and support her husband.
We urgently appeal to people around the world to help rescue Ms. Qian Ruixiang.
