• Non-Practitioner: Policemen from Pingshan County Public Security Department in Hebei Province Brutally Tortured My College Classmate, Mr. Ren Yinhai, in an Attempt to Coerce a Confession

  2007-07-22
  My college classmate, Mr. Ren Yinhai, is an associate doctor and the vice president of the Pingshan County Epidemic Prevention Station. He is well established in his career and has received awards for his research and professional papers. He was one of the best students among our classmates in college. For a while I did not hear from him. When I asked other classmates and learned that because he practised Falun Gong, he was being persecuted, I sincerely wanted to know about his situation in detail, so I went to see him. Although I do not practise Falun Gong, I know that all Falun Gong practitioners are good persons because I know several practitioners. This is why I know about Falun Gong, and also know about the severe persecution against Falun Gong.

• A Falun Gong Practitioner's Letter to Her Husband from a Brainwashing Centre

  2007-07-21
  Dear Lei: How are you? Ever since I began practising Falun Gong, I learned the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance which have brought more harmony and joy to our home. However, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute us, it created a lot of unhappiness. Many times, I was arrested, detained, and sentenced to prison terms. What happened to me has brought hardships to you and our family. You and the children and relatives all suffered a great deal, including tremendous financial losses. All that is not supposed to be a burden for us to carry, but has been forced upon us by the Community Party. Someone may say, "If you don't practise Falun Gong, everything will be all right." However, when I turn it around, I ask, "If the Communist Party stops persecuting us, would I need to speak out for justice for Falun Gong?"

  2007-07-21
  Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Hu Xinzheng was arrested in March 2007. On June 28th, Mr. Hu's neighbours received a phone call from the Chuanhui District Court. The court informed them of Mr. Hu's trial that morning. Mr. Hu's family asked a friend to ask the lawyer's office to make court enquiries. They discovered that his trial was held in the Juvenile Court section of the Chuanhui District Court. The lawyer was puzzled: why hold a trial for a 55-year-old in Juvenile Court? When the lawyer asked about the verdict, the court said it was a heavy penalty. They also said that for Falun Gong cases, the actual decision maker is the Political and Judiciary Committee, not the court. Mr. Hu's family still does not know the verdict.
