(Clearwisdom.net) On December 18, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners illegally detained at Thailand Immigration Detention Center entered the fourth day of their hunger strike protest.

Miaomiao and Liu Ying at the front gate of the immigration detention center

Miaomiao was physically weak, and could not stand up. Liu Ying hurriedly called the police twice. The police told the practitioners, "We police don't care. Food has provided, but you don't eat. It's your own business. If you want, you can die as you wish. It has nothing to do with the police." Miaomiao had written two letters to the United Nations and Police Department when she was very weak. Her first letter was passed out of the cell but the police threw it into a dustbin. The prisoner who passed the police' words told them about it. Her second letter was rejected by the police who said that it was none of their business. The police also said that Falun Gong practitioners who were on hunger strike were not taken care of by the police. The practitioners were only temporarily detained here, it is the United Nations that is truly responsible for these Falun Gong practitioners. This is the current situation.

The situation of Huang Guohua, Wang Yajun and Li Jianhui is unknown.

Since December 6, in order to protest the rape of two Falun Gong practitioners in China, practitioners in Thailand have been peacefully sitting on the sidewalk opposite the Chinese embassy to hand out Falun Gong truth clarification materials to passersby. Beginning December 9, the Thai police, at the behest of the CCP, repeatedly violated Falun Gong practitioners' human rights. On December 10, the Thai police roughly interfered with peacefully protesting Falun Gong practitioners. On December 14, when three practitioners distributed truth clarification materials at Pattaya, a tourist city, two practitioners were beaten by the police, and later, three of them were arrested and later released the same night. On December 15, the Thai police illegally arrested eight Falun Gong practitioners who peacefully protested in front of the Chinese embassy and sent them to immigration bureau. The immigration bureau claimed that they would not release the practitioners until a third country accepts them. Now six practitioners in detention are on a hunger strike. Their situation is dire.

In the past days, Falun Gong practitioners from around the world have been making phone calls or going to the Thailand embassies or consulates in their local areas to express their concern over this event. They also protested the Thai police succumbing to the CCP's pressure to participate in the persecution of Falun Gong.
