On March 8th, 2012, while Ms. Wang Lanying was exposing the persecution of Falun Gong to villagers in Qingyuan County, she was arrested by officers from the Zhangdeng Town Police Station. Currently, she is being persecuted in the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp.

On that day, while Wang Lanying and her older sister, Wang Xinzhi, were explaining the facts to several people, 5 or 6 individuals suddenly sprang out of a small car, arrested the sisters, and took them to the Zhangdeng town police station. Later, the police also ransacked Ms. Wang Xinzhi's home and took Falun Gong books, and Falun Gong DVDS. Ms. Wang Xinzhi was released and was back home on the evening of March 8th, 2012.

Ms. Wang Lanying's family went to the police station to ask for her release. They were told and believed that she would be released on March 23rd. After getting the call that day from the police station, her family went there, but they were unable to find Lanying. They didn't know where she was, and the police station didn't give any information about her whereabouts.

They went from one government office to the next and finally went to the village government, where they were told that, on March 20th, 2012, Wang Lanying had been taken to the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp. Her family rushed to the labour camp, but they were not allowed to see her. On March 29th they went again to Shijiazhuang, but they were still not allowed to see her because of Wang Lanying's “bad attitude” and “non-cooperation.”

In 1995, Ms. Wang Lanying became a Falun Gong practitioner because she was sick and wanted to be healthy. She had many kinds of diseases prior to practising Falun Gong. The most serious ones were kidney and liver problems. When the illnesses manifested, she vomited blood along with suffering hematuresis and severe anemia, endangering her life. After practising Falun Gong for only three months, her hemoglobin reached 9g from 3g. Now she is healthy.

As a legal citizen of China, how could the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), without any legal formality, persecute and detain her in a forced labour camp without even notifying her family? Neither Wang Lanying nor her family or friends can accept this. Those responsible must bear the legal blame.
