Ten Falun Dafa Practitioners From Yichun City and Tieli City, Heilongjiang Province Sentenced and Imprisoned

At the end of September, 2005, the authorities in Tieli City illegally arrested¹ ten practitioners, who later were sentenced to imprisonment by the Tieli City Middle Court.

According to a confirmed, reliable source, the authorities of Tieli City want to transfer the ten practitioners to another facility, and the practitioners have had blood drawn for blood typing tests.

Due to the many publicly exposed cases of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners currently held in concentration camps by the Chinese Communist Party, this has caused many conscientious people to worry for the ten practitioners.

Note

1. Illegally arrested: Contrary to what former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, who initiated the persecution, and the Chinese Communist Party would like the world to believe, practising Falun Gong is NOT illegal in China. Although the Public Security Department issued an unconstitutional set of restraints on the practice at the onset of the persecution in 1999, no laws have been passed by the only legislative body in China, the People's Congress, banning Falun Gong or granting the police the authority to arrest Falun Gong practitioners for practising the exercises or distributing flyers. For a more complete discussion of the illegality of the persecution of Falun Gong, please refer to the article "The Ban on Falun Gong—A Dictator's Whim, Not the Rule of Law".
