  2010-10-29

Lawyers went to the prison at the request of Mr. Liu and his family. The lawyers asked to visit their client, in accordance with the law. At first, prison authorities attempted to obstruct the meeting. After their repeated delay tactics failed, they received approval from their superiors to allow the lawyers to meet with Mr. Liu. Before the meeting, Mr. Liu was able to avoid a body search, and in so doing was able to hand his complaint letter, detailing the persecution he has suffered, to the lawyers.

• Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Lin Qiongfang Recounts Ten Years of Suffering Persecution

  2010-10-28
  I have been detained several times and imprisoned twice because of my belief. Another practitioner and I went out to put up Falun Gong information exposing the persecution in public in February 2003. We were picked up by several officers and taken to the local police office.

• The Chinese Communist Party Makes Excuses for Persecute Falun Gong

  2010-10-27
  I have a friend who was a government official at the level of assistant department head. He practised Falun Gong, but few people knew it. Later, someone filed false charges against him. When the police ransacked his home, they confiscated his Falun Gong books, and arrested him. However, the police claimed to his family that he had been arrested for corruption. It was obvious that the police ransacked his home because he was a Falun Gong practitioner, so why did they say that it was because he was involved in corruption? When his family talked with some informants, the reason became clear: It was because he was a high-ranking official, and if he were arrested for practising Falun Gong, it would have caused quite a commotion. Therefore, they covered it up by falsifying a crime.

• My Mother Is Upholding Justice and Conscience

  2010-10-26
  I suddenly received a phone call from my family, telling me that on July 19th, my mum was arrested by police for practising Falun Gong. My mother is now being held in Jiamusi Detention Centre, and my relatives and I have decided to hire a lawyer to defend her. I went to Changqing Police Station to talk with the director and the person in charge, but they screamed at me, saying, "Your mother violated the law because she distributed Falun Gong flyers."
