The four had gone to the Chinese Embassy on the morning of February 23rd, 2006 to protest the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong. They delivered a letter to Ambassador Wang Chungui. The police soon arrived and arrested them due to pressure from embassy officials. The police took them to the police department and planned to charge them with "Illegal Assembly" according to the No. 27 item in the police decree.

On February 24th, the police applied to extend their detention to 72 hours. On the afternoon of February 26th, the police intended to further extend the detention period, but the practitioners' lawyer believed that the police did not have sufficient excuse to detain them any longer. Eventually, the judge ordered the police to decide whether to charge them by February 27th. If not, the police must release the practitioners. The police discussed with the prosecutor on the morning of February 27th on whether to charge them or not, and finally decided to release the practitioners on bail.

Practitioners inside and outside Malaysia have been clarifying the facts to the local police, the government and general public over the last few days. They have informed them of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, and at the same time, the practitioners wished that the Malaysian government would make a righteous choice, and not assist the CCP in the persecution of Falun Gong.

Heavenly principles are clear. The persecution of Falun Gong is widely known around the world. We hope that world governments can see clearly the CCP's evil nature, and choose to side with justice.
