  • My Story of Being Monitored, Pressured, and Harassed by Chinese Communist Party Spies

    Since then, the media throughout the world have regularly exposed the ugly behaviour of the CCP's spies outside of China. Many of these exposés have occurred during Falun Gong practitioners' activities worldwide. Examples include spies operating during France's Quitting CCP Month, which have been reported to the Federal Security Bureau. Some CCP spies have filmed activities in Perth, a remote city in Australia. These incident show that the monitoring, harassment and persecution of Falun Gong and dissidents overseas are incontestable facts, and also prove the CCP's evil nature.
  • Reference Material: Mr. Hao Fengjun Talks about the CCP's VIP Welcoming Shows

    He recalled, "Hu was walking in the front, and we followed him. I saw many people waving to Hu on the both sides of the street. They were mostly between 40 and 50 years old, with some older ladies. I was surprised to find that those people were all veteran police staff members that I knew, and they were not from the community. Because I knew them, I asked one of them, "Hi, How come you are here too?" He replied, "Oh, we were told to come here to welcome Hu." I asked him again, "Do you live here?" He said, "No way, do you think I've got the kind of money to live here?" Mr. Hao concluded to the audience at the forum that such phenomena are prevalent in China.
  • A Former Detainee Exposes the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in the Qingdao City Forced Labour Camp

    The hardships this Falun Gong practitioner has gone through are far greater than what I have just described. While I am writing this story, my heart is bleeding and I can barely muster the courage to continue writing his story. I am so ashamed of our country. Is this the way that our society treats those people who do not give up their beliefs? His belief is in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance! In the future if I have time, I will give a detailed account of how he and another Falun Gong practitioners were tortured.
  • An Overview of the Agencies That Persecute Falun Gong

    The 610 Office, officially called, "The Leadership Team to Deal with the Falun Gong Problem," is an arm of the Communist Party system. Following the establishment of the Central Committee 610 Office, each province, city, county, and township has formed a corresponding organisation, which has full control over any issue that has to do with Falun Gong.
  • The Moon Is Full And My Heart Is Stirring

    The world's affairs are numerous, complicated and ever-changing, people's lives are bittersweet and unpredictable. It is hard to live a smooth life as everyone wishes. As long as one lives, one's life is accompanied by the bitter and the sweet, the gathering and the parting. On the night of this Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was full, bright, and at its best, but my heart was not. I looked at the sky and wandered under the lonely moon, my heart was filled with pain and anguish.
  • The Role of the Chinese Communist Party's State-owned Businesses in the Persecution of Falun Gong

    However once orders came down from upper levels, police arrived at their door, and members of the national security staff arrived, the evil of the communist part manifested in the people at the state-owned enterprises. Sometimes they were forced to help the evil to persecute practitioners. Sometimes they did not rationally understand or behave according to the law. Knowing that once practitioners were arrested they would face torture, detention, even loss of life, managers would still participate in the persecution for the sake of their own short-term interest. They have completely become puppets of the evil.
  • The Compassionate Act of a Young Policeman, and Other Short Stories from China

    Not long ago, a site for studying the principles taught in Falun Gong in Northeast China was reported to the authorities. As a result, the local police strategically planned to illegally arrest the Falun Gong practitioners who were to attend. A young policeman by the name of "A" decided to warn the practitioners and gave the coordinator of the study site plenty of time to disperse the practitioners there. When the police arrived, the place was empty, not one out of the ten practitioners was arrested.
  • A Lady in China Shows her Support Towards Falun Gong

    In early 2000, when her daughter was still in middle school, the school organised a public event for the purpose of slandering Falun Dafa and ordered the students to participate by writing essays criticising the practice. The mother told her daughter, "We cannot write that. If the school asks why you don't have it, tell them that your mother did not allow you to write it. They can talk to me if they have a problem with it. We have not read Zhuan Falun and we do not know much about Falun Gong. We cannot just listen to one side of the story."
  • Commentary By a Well Known Lawyer In China: The Release of Only Mr. and Mrs. Huang Is Insufficient

    The release of Mr. and Mrs. Huang is certainly good news, but behind this release lies a serious issue. That is, the human rights and human dignity of Mr. and Mrs. Huang and their relatives has been denigrated. Furthermore, the principles that support the rule of law have been violated. Before his release, Mr. Huang Wei was detained for over one year and was on hunger strike for tens of days accumulatively. Mrs. Huang persistently refused to eat any food and only drank liquids from the first day she lost her freedom until her release.
  • Reciting "Falun Dafa Is Good" a Patient Recovers from Diabetes

    Everyone knows that diabetes today is incurable by modern medicine. The only choice I had left was to wait for death. At the same time, my 79-year-old mother was diagnosed with cancer of the womb, another incurable disease. Fortunately, a Falun Dafa practitioner told my mother and I to recite in our hearts "Falun Dafa is Good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good." We often did this, and then the miracles happened! My diabetes disappeared and I became stronger and stronger. Soon I could walk normally again.
  • A Section Director of a Provincial Police Department Comments, "The 610 Office Should Be Dissolved"

    After a Falun Dafa practitioner clarified the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution at a gathering of classmates, one of his classmates, a department director of a provincial police department, stood up and said, "The 610 Office1 should be dissolved. They don't do anything good but treat groups of the elderly, children, and women very viciously. It is so wrong for them do so. Mr. Wang in our office also practises Falun Gong. He is a very good person. I am not against Falun Gong."
  • More and More Voices Are Coming from China, Yearning to Learn Falun Dafa

    "Now I really respect you and want to learn Falun Gong. There are many people who want to learn but are scared because of the interference from the government. I wanted to learn, but no one dared to teach me. I was very happy to see your message today and to have the chance to meet you. I hope I can quickly obtain your help and support."

    When Chinese President Hu Jintao visited the United States, thirty Chinese people in the US, including Ms. Yeong-Ching Foo, the fiancé of American citizen Charles Li, jointly wrote an open letter to Hu Jintao requesting the immediate release of their relatives in China who are imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for practising Falun Gong.
  • People in China Come to See the Truth About Falun Gong and the Persecution

    One day in June, I was taking a driver's license test. In the testing centre there was a woman who seemed very nervous. After getting in the car she did not do well on the test, so she was given another chance to make it up. Just then, a man standing next to her said loudly, "You need have self-confidence, very strong self-confidence, just like those Falun Gong people. They have the unshakable conviction that they will definitely succeed. If you can try to be just like Falun Gong, you definitely won't have any problem." Hearing the man say this made me feel really happy.

    On August 26th, Falun Gong practitioners from Canada appealed to the Canadian government to ban Chinese Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai, who has been charged for crimes against humanity for his involvement in the persecution of Falun Gong, from entering Canada. On September 7th, one day before Hu Jintao's visit to Canada, acclaimed Ottawa human rights attorney Lawrence Greenspan submitted a lawsuit to the Ontario High Court, charging Bo Xilai with the crime of torture and requesting that Bo compensate the plaintiffs for the damages.
