2010-10-15On September 29th, 2010, a Huangdao Court in Qingdao City began the trial of attorney and Falun Gong practitioner Wang Zhangshuo.

Teacher Zhu, Everyone is Looking Forward to Your Return Home
2010-10-14I remembered my chemistry teacher, Ms. Zhu Huimin, whom I had studied with at the Wuhan First Business Vocational School. I went to visit her and she looked very excited and told me that she was practising Falun Gong.

I was worried about Ms. Zhu at that time because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was doing so many bad things, including defamation, disinformation, and attacks against Falun Gong. Ms. Zhu was handing out flyers in a shopping centre and the police had sent her to Hewan Labour Camp for a year of forced labour. -

Collecting Evidence of the Communist Regime Improperly Drugging Falun Gong Practitioners in China's Prisons, Labour Camps and Hospitals
2010-10-13The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has used virtually every means imaginable to persecute Falun Gong over the past 11 years. One such means is to administer drugs to incarcerated practitioners, either forcing them to ingest drugs, or injecting them against their will. After release from prisons and hospitals where the drugs were administered, many victims were unable to take care of themselves, as the drug abuse they endured resulted in permanent physical or psychological damage. Some suffered loss of memory; others became anxious and mentally impaired. Some died. Many simply cannot describe the abuses they were subjected to because of physical and/or mental deterioration as a result of the drugs.
