• Ms. Ma Xianling from Beijing Narrates Her Experience of Being Persecuted

  2010-03-15
  I was arrested in 2004 while I was giving out Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution with another fellow practitioner. We were reported and arrested by police. They tried to force me to tell them the source of the materials and also the names of my fellow practitioners. I refused to co-operate with them and they started to beat me. I was forced to sit on a cold metal chair, and was confined to a small cell, but no matter how they persecuted me, they could not change my heart of being determined in cultivating Falun Gong. Half a year later, because of the fact that I was severely persecuted, I was bailed out for medical treatment.

  Ms. Huang Yixiu has been detained four times, totalling 761 days, simply because she practises Falun Gong.

They exposed us to the burning sun, forced us to squat for long periods of time, and bound us together for display to the public.
