Since the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party , the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been vigorously persecuting the people spreading it. Many Falun Gong practitioners have been detained, and many received excessive sentences and are even tortured until they are disabled. Since the Nine Commentaries exposes the real face of the party, spreading the Nine Commentaries is for the good of all the Chinese people. The CCP’s brutal persecution of those who spread the book exposed the party’s deep fear. The following is a collection of cases published on the Minghui website regarding people being persecuted for spreading the Nine Commentaries.
"7.20" Incident in Inner Mongolia, Fifty People Arrested
On July 20th, 2005, more than one hundred thousand copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party , The Real Story of Jiang Zemin and Quitting CCP were distributed in Zhalantun City, Arongqi, Moqi and surrounding areas in Inner Mongolia. This occurrence shocked the Hulunbeier Public Security Bureau. Under orders from the Public Security Ministry, a "7.20" team was formed specifically to deal with the issue of Falun Gong. The case was handled under the direct supervision of the Public Security Ministry. According to the report on the website of the Public Security of Inner Mongolia, on March 27th, 2006, a special team dispatched 168 policemen and more than 80 vehicles, who later arrested 40 Falun Gong practitioners in Zhalantun City and the Arongqi area. Ten practitioners were arrested in Qiqihaer City. The case is currently being secretly handled.

During the early part of April 2005, CCP top leaders Zeng Qinghong and Hu Jintao secretly went to Weifang City and the Shouguang area respectively. They went to these regions in order to address the issues of "Protect CCP’s Advancement," "Quit CCP" and the influence of the Nine Commentaries. Both of them gave orders regarding the situation. In May in Changle County, Weifang City, Shandong Province the 610 Office1 held meetings for all county and city 610 Offices to secretly arrange the details targeting arresting Falun Gong practitioners and people spreading the Nine Commentaries. Over the next twenty days, more than thirty Falun Gong practitioners from Shouguang, Changyi, Qingzhou and Zhucheng were arrested. On May 19th, in Zhangling Town, eleven people were arrested. Later, many people were sentenced to prison terms and sent to forced labour camps.

According to a source, in mid-June 2005, a large number of the Nine Commentaries appeared in Yancheng of Jiangsu Province. The local CCP authorities secretly arrested at least thirty Falun Gong practitioners. The police claimed that those practitioners were political prisoners and prohibited their families from visiting them. Anyone who reports seeing one copy of the Nine Commentaries would get a 10,000 yuan2 reward. Anyone who reports a gathering of two or more Falun Gong practitioners would get a reward of 300 yuan.

She is now lying in a hospital bed and is unable to move.
Accused of Having Falun Gong Materials and Nine Commentaries at Home, a Couple is Heavily Sentenced
The couple Xin Minzheng and Bao Junqin are Falun Gong practitioners in Panjin City, Liaoning Province. They were accused of making 1,100 CDs in their home. On September 12th, 2005, Longtai District Court in Panjin City sentenced the couple respectively to 13 years and 12 years. The prosecutor said in the court, "The 1,100 CDs were discovered to have Falun Gong content and several of the Nine Commentaries." The couple appealed to the Panjin City Intermediate Court. The intermediate court found the case to have insufficient facts and evidence, and overruled the district court’s ruling. The case was sent back to the district court. Under the manipulation of the 610 Office, the district court kept the original ruling on the couple. Bao Junqin appealed again. On February 20th, 2006, the case was brought back to the court for a second trial. But no conclusion to the case has been reached. The source said that the couple are facing possible terms of forced labour.
A Mother of Five Year-Old Child Sentenced to Seven Years for Having CDs of Nine Commentaries

For Having Copies of the Nine Commentaries, Shijiazhuang City Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Sun Li Was Sentenced for Term of Five and a Half Years
On September 6th, 2005, police searched Shijiazhuang City Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Sun Li’s home and found copies of the Nine Commentaries and Falun Gong materials. The Yuhua Police Department arrested her. During early March 2006, the Yuhua District Court sentenced her to a prison term of five and a half years. Sun Li appealed. On May 12th, the Yuhua District Court submitted the case for retrial and kept the original sentence. According to a source, the five and a half year sentence given to Sun Li was pre-arranged by the Hebei Provincial Supreme Court, following orders from the 610 Office. Because Sun Li is a Falun Gong practitioner, she could not find a lawyer who would dare to represent her in challenging the CCP’s persecution policy on Falun Gong. Sun Li’s husband, Huang Panpei, had to assume the responsibility of defending his wife in the court. The lawyer Gao Zhishen in Beijing City who represented Falun Gong practitioner Huang Weili from Shijianzhuang City tried unsuccessfully to have the court accept Falun Gong’s case. Lawyer Gao then wrote two open letters to the CCP’s high-level leaders to expose the brutal facts of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. For Mr. Gao efforts, the CCP closed his office and placed him and his whole family under long-term close surveillance. Sun Li is now detained at the Second Detention Centre in Shijiazhuang City and is on a hunger strike to protest her sentence.
Beijing Falun Gong Practitioner Lin Shusen Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Having a Copy of the Nine Commentaries.
On April 28th, 2005, while registering the people who rent houses in his district, policeman Fang Ge of Xinjiekou the Police Station in Xicheng District of Beijing found a copy of the Nine Commentaries in Falun Gong practitioner Lin Shusen’s home. He called in more police to ransack the home. The police took away Lin Shusen. On January 23rd, 2006, the Xicheng District Court of Beijing sentenced Lin Shusen to a five-year prison term. The court reasoned with the excuse that "In 2004, Lin Shusen published an article on the Minghui website with his real name about the persecution he and his fellow practitioners suffered. (‘Beijing Falun Gong Practitioner's Account of the Three-Year-Long Persecution Suffered in Qianjin Prison’ published on March 25th, 2004)." Lin Shusen appealed but the appeal was denied. Sources said that Lin Shusen is currently on a hunger strike, and has shown symptoms of kidney malfunction. Lin Shusen was sent to the Beijing Public Security Hospital to face further persecution in the form of forced-feeding.
Because of Downloading the Nine Commentaries and Quitting the CCP on the Internet, A Person Incapable of Serving a Prison Term is Sentenced to Two and a Half Years
On May 10th, 2006, the CCP law enforcement department of Luzhou City charged four people, including Jiang Jiyun and Liang Jinhui, as being guilty of "downloading Nine Commentaries and Falun Gong materials from the Internet" and of "publishing a declaration of ‘quitting the CCP’s three types of organisations,’" and sentenced them to two and a half and three and a half year prison terms respectively. The Xi’nan Law and Legislation Evaluation Centre of Sichuan Province diagnosed Liang Jinhui with "having mental illness and being incapable of serving a prison term." Yet Liang Jinhui was still sentenced to a prison term of two and a half years. Liang Jinhui’s mother, Ms. Yuan Yuju, was imprisoned in Nanmusi Forced Labour Camp in Zizhong of Sichuan Province for a one-year term. Ms. Yuan Yuju received the same charge as the four other people. According the people working at the Law and Legislation area, "Even a person who has no knowledge of the law knows that Liang Jinhui, who is diagnosed with a mental illness, should not be sentenced. The Luzhou law system had no authority to give the sentence, but the pressure from higher authorities forced them to do it." The source also said that Liang Jinhui’s case has been handled under CCP central government official Luo Gan’s manipulation and is a direct order from the Politics and Law Committee.
