• After Benefitting from Dafa, 53 Year old Female Practitioner Was Persecuted

  2004-04-24
  "I am Ms Chu Jianjun, 53 years old this year, and I reside in Beijing. At the end of 1979, I suddenly became ill with a rare and unpleasant affliction known as lupus and no medicine could control the rapidly spreading condition. I was afflicted with many other diseases, which made me lose the courage to face life. One day in May 1993, when I was at the end of my endurance, a friend of mine introduced me to Falun Gong. I had not worked for the previous twelve years. After I practised Falun Gong for only two months, my body and mind were cleansed swiftly. At the end of July 1993, I went back to work. From that point on, I bade farewell to being a chronic invalid. Once the persecution started my husband and I were harassed, arrested and detained many times just for continuing the practice.

• A Non-Practitioner's Eyewitness Account of the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Jiutai Yinmahe Forced Labour Camp

  2004-04-23
  Because of my wrongdoing, in 2003 I was sent to the Jilin Province Jiutai Yinmahe Forced Labour Camp. When I first arrived, due to the deceptive propaganda I had received while out in the world, I held a biased view and had a bad impression of the Falun Gong practitioners detained at the camp. Later, however, through frequent contact with the practitioners, my viewpoint gradually changed. I found out that they were not like what the TV stations, radio stations, or the newspapers had broadcast. Falun Gong practitioners were actually good people in society. Yet the treatment they received in the camp was so terrible, you would not believe it! I am revealing this cruel goings-on so that I hope that more people may offer understanding and sympathy to those being so unjustly persecuted.

  2004-04-22
  We had to write a letter to appeal to the local Party Secretary of the Administration Office of Politics and Law. After conducting an investigation, they refused to return the car to us and nothing else was mentioned. The darkness and corruption of the society infuriated me. I planned to appeal to each level of government right up to the top and prepared to adopt an extreme approach -- if the matter could not be resolved properly, I would die with them.
