Lili Lin told the reporter who interviewed her, “During the detention, I’ve received many phone calls from worldwide Falun Gong practitioners as well as refugee rescue organisations. Their concern and encouragement was very supportive to me. My thanks to those kind people for their concern and help. I would also like to thank my MP, Ms Jane Kennedy, and the Arch Bishop of Oxford who supported me. Meanwhile, thanks to the Home Office officials for having the courage to reconsider my case.” According to Lili Lin’s lawyer, her appeal is now being prepared and will be heard soon.
With UK Dafa practitioners and the help of Falun Gong practitioners all over the world, and many kindhearted people, Lili Lin and her unborn child are now free.
