Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Weizhen, from the Xigang District, Dalian City, was arrested on May 18th, 2012. Officers from the Dalian Security Bureau and Taoyuan Street Police Station participated in the arrest. Her home was sealed and it may have been ransacked.

Sixty-three-year-old Ms. Wang Weizhen was a teacher at Dalian Military Medical School of the Shenyang Military Region before she retired. Before becoming a practitioner, she suffered from all kinds of illnesses, and was in constant pain, with discomfort all over her body. Only her mind was clear. Even though she was a doctor, she couldn't cure her own illnesses. She sought out renowned doctors and hospitals, but found no cure.

Fortunately Ms. Wang began practising Falun Gong in 1996. She carefully followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She took lightly the professional titles, reputation, and personal interest. She became energetic and looked young and beautiful. After Ms. Wang began practising, her colleagues, classmates, and friends were amazed by Falun Gong's miraculous effect, and the tremendous changes they saw in her.

However, after the Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong, Ms. Wang was detained for eight months in the military, and was handcuffed daily.
