Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, practitioner Mr. Lai Xiaoyun and his family have had to endure constant torment by CCP agents. The police continually harass the family in many ways, and even took Mr. Lai's computer from his home.
Mr. Lai's mother had cancer and there was no treatment that could help her, so doctors gave her one year to live. In 1997, she began studying Falun Gong. Not long after, she made a full recovery. Nevertheless, CCP officers forced her to write a guarantee statement, promising not to practise Falun Gong. They told her that if she refused to sign the statement her pension would be withheld, etc. She was so frightened that she quit practising and the cancer returned. Ultimately, she passed away as a result of the persecution in 2001.
In May 2001, Mr. Lai was sentenced to one and a half years because he was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people the facts about Falun Gong. After he was released from the forced labour camp, the police officers, agents from political and judiciary committee 610 Office1, the State Security Division, and the Neighbourhood Administration Committee frequently went to his home and harassed him. On June 30th, 2008, Mr. Lai Xiaoyun was arrested in Heshan City, Guangdong Province. On December 26th, 2008, the Heshan City Court sentenced him to four years in prison.
Note
1. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
