The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Harasses Australian Practitioners' Family Members in China

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Gao Yang and her father, calligrapher Gao Zongzhen, were repeatedly persecuted in China by members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for persisting in practising Falun Gong. Later they went to Australia to continue their cultivation practice in a free country. However, members of their family who live in Beijing, China have been harassed by the CCP. The following is a statement by Ms. Gao Yang.

Police officers and staff of the 610 Office¹ started harassing my family after they learned that my father and I had gone to Australia. They fear that we will expose the CCP's crimes. Every day, they go to my home in China and threaten my mother, saying that if we don't return, my sister's school education will be affected, and my mother will also be implicated. They also told my mother to tell us that if we return, they will not hold us responsible for anything. I know in my heart that this is one of their tactics. If we were to go back to China, my father and I would be tortured physically and mentally, and we would lose our freedom.

The police and 610 Office staff already know that my father and I are promoting Falun Dafa in Australia. They also know that my father has published articles on the Clearwisdom website and the Epoch Times website exposing the CCP's crimes. Therefore, they have harassed our family even more severely. My mother lives in terror and worry every day. Today, while I was talking to my mother on the phone, the police and 610 Office staff suddenly broke into her home. I had to hang up the phone. I don't know what has happened to my mother. I am very concerned that the police would use brutal means when dealing with my mother and sister. However, I dare not call home now. I am in an extreme dilemma and am quite anxious because these police can do whatever they want without consequences.

It is now well-known that the wicked CCP has harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP's nature is very sinister and brutal. I hope that the Australian government puts pressure on the CCP, and asks them to stop persecuting Falun Gong practitioners and their family members.
