Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the No. 3 Prison in Anhui Province -- Part 1
2006-07-24In less than one week Fang Yingzhou's body became deformed. Every morning and afternoon he could be seen on his way to the prison hospital to be force-fed. He painfully walked in very small steps with great effort, his heavy handcuffs and leg-irons dragging noisily on the ground. People who haven't personally suffered the persecution can hardly imagine the cruelty of the prison hospital. When he came back he always held his chest with both arms; there was always blood at the corner of his mouth and purple bruises on the backs of his ears. His expression was always one of extreme pain. -
Mr. Wang Xin, PhD Student in Prestigious University, Persecuted at Huazi Prison
2006-07-24Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Xin from Shenyang City is a 30-year-old former Ph.D. candidate from Tsinghua University. In 2001, lawless officials abducted him.

Three Elderly Practitioners in Heilongjiang and Guangdong Provinces Died After Suffering Persecution
2006-07-23Ms. Deng Guiyun, over 70 years old, began to practise Falun Gong in 1996, and all her illnesses disappeared. In addition, she used to be illiterate before she practised Falun Gong. Since she practised Falun Gong, she could read Dafa books. After the CCP began to persecute Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, she lost the opportunity to share experiences with fellow practitioners because of threats from the village administration agents. In 2003, her diseases reoccurred. Because her family members were afraid and tried to prevent her from contacting Falun Dafa practitioners, she stayed in bed and could not stand up. She passed away on April 5th, 2006. -

Letter to Vice-President of the European Parliament Edward McMillan-Scott Concerning the Participation of Volkswagen Group China in the Persecution of Falun Gong
2006-07-22As the family member of a persecuted Falun Gong practitioner employed by Volkswagen in China, I am writing to you in order to ask you to pay special attention to the disgraceful behaviour of Volkswagen in participating in the CCP regime's persecution against Falun Gong, and ask you, as a politician of stature, to provide help to these persecuted people.

Account of Falun Gong Practitioner Zhang Shunlong's Death

The police claimed that he jumped, yet two people failed to prevent his fall. Zhang was handcuffed with a broken leg. There were over a dozen police watching over him, and the window was very narrow. How could he have jumped out? It is obvious that he was thrown from the building. The police tried to evade responsibility upon seeing that he would not survive. -
