(Clearwisdom.net) On May 17, we went to the local police station to send forth righteous thoughts and rescue a detained practitioner. Below is a recount of the series of events that we would like to share.

At about 9:30 a.m. on May 17, when an elderly practitioner was posting signs with truth-clarification information, local residents reported him to the police. Soon afterward, five or six policemen appeared and took him away. He shouted, “I didn't break the law. Why are you taking me away? Falun Dafa is great! Falun Dafa is great!” The police bent his arms, and dragged him to the police station. His arms were bruised and injured. He was in severe pain. (For about a dozen days, his arms hurt so much that he couldn't sleep at night. He had a hard time holding things. Now it has been more than 20 days, but the pain still hasn't gone away.) The practitioner continued to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the persecution of his physical body.

When the local practitioners heard about his arrest that day, they immediately began sharing. Some planned to publish the news online to expose the persecution. Some went to the practitioner's home and persuaded his family members to go to the police station together. Some contacted other practitioners. Everyone tried to rescue him. That afternoon, we went to the police station with the practitioner's family members to seek his release. His family members (also practitioners) clarified the facts to the police and said, “You leave murderers and arsonists alone, yet harass good people.” The police were quiet. All the local practitioners circled the police station. Everyone had strong righteous thoughts to prevent the evil from persecuting Dafa disciples. We asked the police to release the practitioner unconditionally. Everyone treated this incident as their own. We all sent forth righteous thoughts with a firm mind, eliminating the evil factors that controlled the police in other dimensions. We asked the police to release the practitioner that day.

We also believed that the detained practitioner had strong righteous thoughts. We sent righteous thoughts that he would be out of the police station that day and return home safely. At about 9:40 p.m., we were glad to see the practitioner and his family members return home from the police station.

This rescue effort lasted from 10 a.m. to 9:40 p.m. The practitioners surrounded the police station to send forth righteous thoughts and did not leave. They spent nearly 12 hours sending forth righteous thoughts.

Later, during our sharing, the elderly practitioner said that at the police station, a senior policeman said to another policeman, “Let's release him. It's making me feel so, so uneasy.” We realized that this was the result of Dafa disciples sending forth righteous thoughts at a close distance to disintegrate the evil factors. Later, they took the practitioner to the second floor for detention. After the practitioner calmed down, he immediately sat with his legs crossed and sent forth righteous thoughts. A guard began saying negative things about Master, and the practitioner immediately stopped him, telling him that this was for his own good so he would not commit a crime. The guard stopped cursing. Later, two policemen came in with a notebook to interrogate the practitioner. They asked him what was so good about Falun Gong. The practitioner clarified the facts to them. His family members also continued to clarify the facts to the police on the first floor. During this time, the police also received more than ten calls from overseas Falun Gong practitioners that urged them to do the right thing.

During the entire rescue process, all the practitioners had firm faith in Master and the Fa. We cooperated well as a whole. This success was also a sign of encouragement from Master. In the future, we will study the Fa well, look inward, continue to learn from past experiences and mistakes, and be genuine Dafa disciples that assist Master in the Fa-rectification.
