We, Falun Gong practitioners in the UK, would like
to appeal for help from all the kind-hearted people of the world to stop
a tragedy befalling a pregnant woman.
 In
China, thousands of Falun Gong practitioners are facing incarceration,
torture, or even murder, from a regime led by Jiang Zemin. Deaths by torture
are counted as suicides and 'no measures are too excessive'.
This has led to police shooting directly at practitioners; pregnant women
forced to have later term abortions; a 7-month-old baby tortured to death
alongside his mother; the most horrific tortures and systematic persecution
known to the world used to force practitioners to give up Falun Gong.
Now, a Falun Gong practitioner
— Ms. Lili Lin, aged 28 and 6 weeks pregnant, is facing the prospect
of possible arrest, torture and death at the hands of Jiang's criminal
group. She is now detained at Manchester Airport and waiting for deportation
to China scheduled for March 7, 2003. A clerical mistake from the Home
Office had caused the failure of her two appeals and the refusal of her
asylum application before the deadline. The refusal letter was sent to
her previous address, although Ms. Lin had notified the Home Office about
the change in her address when she moved from Manchester to Liverpool
in November 2001.
Lili is an active Falun Gong practitioner
in the UK and helps her husband run a free Falun Gong exercise class in
Liverpool. Her husband's name appears on Falun Gong leaflets and
on websites as the contact person in Liverpool. She frequently goes to
the Chinese consulate in Manchester and the Chinese Embassy in London
to appeal against the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China. Lili's
life and that of her unborn child will be seriously endangered if she
is deported to China.
It is certain that the Chinese
Government knows about Lili and Jinfei's involvement with Falun Gong,
and it is unbearable to think what might be waiting for Lili and her unborn
child if she is deported back to the hands of the persecutors.
Would you be able to lend your
help to prevent such a tragedy?
