Nine Years and Fifteen Days of Persecution
2011-02-26
I started practising Falun Gong in June 1996. I had a variety of illnesses prior to practising, and had no money for medical treatments. After practising Falun Gong for a period of time, I became physically healthy and all my illnesses disappeared. I began conducting myself according to the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," and became a better person. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999. I have been harassed and mistreated during the past ten years. I was detained at a detention centre for 45 days, in Xishanping Forced Labour Camp for one year and eleven months, and in Yongchuan Prison for seven years. I have been detained for a total of nine years and 15 days. -
