(Clearwisdom.net) About two years ago, around the time when Teacher commented on the article, "Expose the Evil Happening Locally to the Local People," we in our local area joined the effort to rescue practitioners who had been illegally detained. We exposed the facts of the persecution to the public in a timely manner; posted and distributed pertinent truth-clarification materials in large quantities, and sent letters and made phone calls to the detention centers. In two to three months, many detained practitioners were sent home. Some of them were illegally sentenced to forced labor; some finished serving their terms in the forced labor camp, but had their sentences extended; some were persecuted at brainwashing centers for extended periods of time; and some were illegally sentenced to long prison terms.

Despite our efforts, there are still many practitioners who are being illegally detained. We need to persist in our efforts to rescue them. Normally, when a practitioner is first arrested, other practitioners participate in the rescue efforts. However, after a period of time, if we don't see any direct "results," we slack off in our efforts, and we don't actively seek news about the detained practitioners. Especially for practitioners who have been detained for several years, if nobody mentions them, other practitioners almost seem to forget about them.

Some practitioners suggested that we persist in our rescue efforts. Practitioners should work as one body. The persecution of one practitioner is the persecution of the whole body, and consequently, the persecution of each member of this body. We should not let the ruthless persecution go on like this. On the other hand, the rescue efforts are not just to help free fellow practitioners from illegal detention (if this were the sole purpose of our efforts the outcome would not be good since we would be acting out of human qing and attachment to the end results. Such behavior deviates from the fundamental basis of saving sentient beings). We use these rescue cases to expose the persecution, suffocate the evil, save sentient beings, and continue our cultivation. In this way, we let go of our selfishness, coordinate with each other, and improve as one entity. If we can form a well-coordinated entity, expose the persecution in a timely manner, eliminate the evil, and think of ways to let more people understand the truth about Falun Gong, the field of righteous thoughts will be stronger; and the places where practitioners are persecuted will be disbanded. Consequently, the persecution of practitioners is suppressed and stopped. Practitioners' righteous thoughts and actions complement each other and can lead to positive results.

First, we need to obtain details about how the detained practitioners are being treated. Then, we need to expose the facts and make pertinent truth-clarification materials. Practitioners can use various ways to clarify the truth and rescue the detained practitioners: hand out flyers, mail and put up truth-clarification materials, make telephone calls, and send forth righteous thoughts in close proximity to the evil.

Paying attention to and sorting out news related to the persecution of practitioners are the first steps in all truth-clarification activities and are thus very important. For example, in our area, the article, "Nine-Year-Old Ma Fan Dreams about Her Parents, Locked Up in Forced Labor Camps" revealed what happened to two practitioners. The article, "Grandma Shi Shengying Tortured to Death in Shenyang Prison" disclosed the brutal torture death of a practitioner. "What Kind of People Were Sent to Prison by the Dadong Courthouse in Shenyang City" recorded how the staff of the local courthouse participated in the persecution of practitioners. All these facts were collected and documented by practitioners who are proactively disclosing the persecution and taking responsibility in Fa-validation.

Look around, there are still many persecution cases that have not been disclosed. There are still many persecution facts that need to be collected and made into truth-clarification materials. If only one or two practitioners are involved in this work, it will be time-consuming and difficult. If everybody participates, it will be much easier. Of course, we should not just help out for the sake of doing it; that is, we should not turn such sacred tasks of validating Dafa and saving sentient beings into a job. Only if we study the Fa well and keep in mind the overall goal of saving sentient beings, can we prevent ourselves from becoming numb and giving up halfway through the task.

There are many ways to validate Dafa and save sentient beings. The above are some of my thoughts on how to clarify the truth through rescuing local practitioners. Please correct me if there is anything inappropriate.

What follows is a summary of the information we have about detained practitioners, organized according to the institutions in which they are being detained. It is only a partial listing.
