• Asking for Help to Release My Younger Brother Xie Yunhuan Who Is Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison

  2009-04-27
  My brother Xie Yunhuan, 34, who used to be a student in Japan, went back to China in February 2000 to appeal for Falun Gong. He was sentenced 10 years in prison and has suffered long- term abuse and mistreatment under the persecution. The so-called criminal evidence the persecutors presented was absurd - making 1,400 copies of Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution and 90 copies of a newspaper, and participating in several experience-sharing meetings. In October 2002 my brother was sent to the Hedaling Prison where the detainees were forced to work in an underground coal mine. He was compelled to load and transport coal underground, like a slave, and could be subjected to scolding, lashing or beating with wooden rods at any time.
