136 Shaanxi Province Falun Gong Practitioners Sue Jiang Zemin's Political Gang -- Part 1
2004-04-02Police captain Zhao Xiaoyang (age 40), said with hypocrisy, "At each meeting we'd like to know about Dafa practitioners' opinion. So everybody can write out your thoughts. You can also talk to me." However, when practitioners truly wrote out their righteous understanding of Dafa and expressed their determination to continue practising, Zhao revealed his true nature. He raised the police club (except for the first meeting, he always carried a police club with him) saying, "Carrying people out from the labour camp is the same as carrying people out from the hospital!" (Meaning deaths at the labour camp are not different from deaths at the hospital, both are treated as deaths from natural causes). -

2004-04-01Since the Jiang regime first began the suppression of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, they have abused their power by mobilising their propaganda machine to slander and defame Falun Dafa.

Speech from the International Conference on "Genocide in the New Era" by Peter Müller from the International Human Rights Federation

This is standard dictatorial and especially Communist practice, not only in China. The description fits exceptionally well the brutal persecution which the former Chinese President Jiang Zemin unleashed against Falun Gong practitioners in China." -
