(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zheng Jingxian from Guangzhou City was arrested on February 3, 2015. He is being illegally detained at the Haizhu District Detention Center.
Open Letter To People Worldwide From Ms. Ruan Mei, Mr. Zheng's Mother:
My name is Ms. Ruan Mei. I am requesting help from people worldwide to rescue my son Mr. Zheng Jingxian, a Falun Gong practitioner, who is being detained by police because he wants to live by the Falun Gong principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
The Guangzhou City Police Department called my husband Zheng Huali on February 5, 2015. They told him that our son had been arrested, and is being held at the Haizhu District Detention Center in Guangzhou City.
My husband took the long distance bus to Guangzhou that night. Family visits were not allowed, but an attorney will be allowed to see my son after the police department issues the arrest warrant.
It was very cold, so my husband wanted to leave some warm clothing. But this request was denied, as the center is selling overpriced clothing to the inmates.
Officials Must Follow the Law
I was told that my son was arrested because he practices Falun Gong. From what I understand, practicing Falun Gong is a matter of belief and does not break any law. Freedom of belief and freedom of speech are every Chinese citizen's legal right, protected by the Chinese Constitution.
The deceptive propaganda against Falun Gong which is broadcast on television and published in newspapers is not the nation's law. The people who are in power cannot speak on behalf of the law. And law enforcement officials should not carry out illegal orders from upper level authorities, or orders based on some internal government documents. They are required to follow the law.
My son did not break any law. My son's arrest and detention for practicing Falun Gong is considered persecutory. Officials who participated in the persecution violated freedom of belief and committed the crime of illegal detention. My son has not committed any crime.
My son Mr. Zheng Jingxian is 30 years old. He graduated from the South China University of Technology. He worked for Oracle in Guangzhou City, and earlier in Beijing and Shenzhen.
As a mother, I am very anxious and miss my son. It is almost Chinese New Year, but our family cannot reunite unless he is released from detention.
I am calling for help from kind and just people of the world. Please contact the relevant government departments and ask them to follow the letter of the law and release my son. We hope that my family will reunite during the Chinese New Year!
