(Minghui.org) When we try to rescue fellow Falun Gong practitioners who are being detained, we contact the police, prosecutors, and judicial officials. Most of them appear fierce and arrogant, but that doesn’t put us off. I smile when I speak with them and make eye contact when they behave irrationally. They then try to avoid eye contact with me and calm down.

I once went to the 610 Office in Tonghua to rescue a fellow practitioner. With a smile on my face, I told the officer director that I had come for his sake. I said, “Do you know that your position is a death trap? Just do a survey. How many people who have your job across the country have died in recent years? Li Dongsheng, the former head of the 610 Office for the central government, has also been arrested.

“Judges are now aware of the truth about the persecution. In a trial in Kunming, a Falun Gong practitioner in her twenties repeated, 'Heaven is destroying the Chinese Communist Party' nine times. You may think that those words should not be uttered. But the judge listened and did not stop her. The trial was adjourned without a judgment. It will be too late for you to make the right choice if you wait until the truth of the persecution is revealed. The Party has turned right and wrong upside down. Do you understand?”

He said at last, “You win.”

Another time, pressured by a 610 Office, a court forced a practitioner's family to dismiss the lawyer they had hired. We local practitioners went to visit director Xie of the 610 Office. I told him, “Hiring a lawyer is a citizen's right protected by law. Your asking the family to dismiss their lawyer is against the law. You cannot designate a lawyer they don't want.” He said, “I know what you mean.”

The lawyer that was dismissed was re-hired after talking with the director of the 610 Office, and defended the practitioner.

We created a beneficial environment for saving sentient beings in our local area. Whether it is a prison or a detention center, we will go and speak with the officials in charge.

Every Friday the director of our local court meets with the public. Practitioners took advantage of this opportunity to explain the facts of the persecution to him.

The director's receptionist said that Falun Gong practitioners were not allowed to meet with the director. With a smile on my face I said, “Why are Falun Gong practitioners not received? Is this discrimination? Don't you agree that everyone should be treated equally?”

He knew it was not right. He went in and asked the court director what to do. He returned and told us to write down what we wanted to say and he would hand our message to the director.

By explaining the persecution to the director, we had a practitioner's sentence thrown out. The presiding judge said he would no longer unjustly sentence practitioners. We also talked to his mother about the persecution.
