Falun Gong Adherent Seeks International Community’s Help to Rescue Woman Abducted in China for Her Faith

The Epoch Times Header

Sun Caiyan, a Falun Gong adherent and mother of two, was placed in a detention center by Chinese police.

A woman in China’s eastern coastal city of Dalian has been detained again by police, the second time she has been put behind bars for her belief, according to Minghui.org, a U.S.-based website dedicated to tracking the persecution of Falun Gong.

Sun Caiyan, a Falun Gong adherent and mother of two, was placed in a detention center after police from the local Nanshan Police Station took her away on May 12, Minghui reported on May 18.

Police also went to her home and confiscated items including IDs and her household registration certificate without showing a warrant or leaving a list of property taken.

The Epoch Times reached out to the police station and the local state security department, also known as the 610 Office, on June 12. Both declined to comment.

Ms. Sun was previously abducted for her belief in 2014, and in 2015 was sentenced to three years and three months’ imprisonment.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is an ancient Chinese spiritual practice that teaches the core principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance along with a sitting meditation and four slow-moving standing exercises.

The practice quickly gained popularity in China in the 1990s after it was introduced to the public in 1992. By 1998, more people were practicing Falun Gong than there were members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to the U.S.-based Falun Dafa Infocenter. Over 100 million Chinese people were learning the practice, compared to 60 million CCP members at the time.

The Party initiated a massive campaign targeting Falun Gong in 1999. Then-CCP leader Jiang Zemin personally planned, launched, and executed control over the campaign despite other senior leaders being opposed, due to “jealousy and political motivations,” the Falun Dafa Infocenter said. Jiang sought to eradicate the peaceful practice within three months.

The CCP’s persecution is ongoing in China.

A friend of Ms. Sun’s, a Falun Gong practitioner from Dalian who is now living in the United States, is calling for international attention to help rescue Ms. Sun and other practitioners suffering from persecution in China.
