• The Persecution of an Elderly Woman from Huili, Sichuan Province

  2007-06-01
  My name is Cui Deli, and I am a 65-year-old woman from Sichuan Province. I have benefited physically and mentally from practising Falun Dafa. Since July 20th, 1999, I have experienced various forms of persecution merely because I chose to uphold my belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, and be a good person. In 2001, the Public Security Bureau stole more than 140,000 yuan, which was loaned money, from my daughter and son-in-law's safe, and told them that they had to investigate before they could return the money. My son-in-law was taken away and detained for a week. But they still didn't return the money.

• Practitioner Ms. Li Guiping Persecuted in Beijing Women's Prison

  2007-06-01
  Ms. Li Guiping is currently detained in Beijing Women's Prison. Right before the 2007 Chinese New Year, at a mandatory meeting for everyone in the prison, Ms. Li shouted "Falun Dafa is good!" After this incident, she was detained in the disciplinary unit for further persecution. During her detainment in this unit, she was deprived of any type of communication with her family. Around May 1st, 2007, her family called an official named Huang to enquire about Ms. Li's condition. Huang told them that she was fine and the prison staff were trying their best to help her. They learned from Huang that Ms. Li had shouted "Falun Dafa is good" again and the prison officials decided to solve the problem "from its root." This only meant one thing: the prison authorities planned to intensify the torture of Ms. Li!

• Art Studio Students Miss Their Teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu

  2007-05-31
  Tragically, art teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu was arrested by the public security bureau on April 21st. That night, teacher Zhang finished teaching and chatted with one of his student's parent at 11:00 p.m. when he left his studio. The next morning, the students came to school but their teacher was not there. Teacher Zhang's office had been ransacked and left a mess. Several investigators came to question other teachers (hired by teacher Zhang). At this moment everyone asked, "Where is teacher Zhang?" Finally the news came out that public security was investigating teacher Zhang as a Falun Gong practitioner. No wonder teacher Zhang is so kind, for he practises Falun Gong. Falun Gong is the practice of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The department persecuting teacher Zhang is the Bao Ming Detention Centre Xinan Neighbourhood Security.

• The Chinese Communist Party Is Hiding Its Second Verdict Against Cao Dong from the Public

  In May 2006, Dafa practitioner Cao Dong met with the European Parliament's Vice President, Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott. As a result, he was arrested.

• Police in Changchun, Jilin Province Rampantly Arrest Practitioners and Search Their Homes

  2007-05-30
  Since March 2007, many practitioners in Changchun have been arrested, persecuted, and had their homes searched by the police and Public Security Bureau agents in their local districts. It seems that every two or three days several practitioners are arrested. Dozens of practitioners have recently been taken into custody. The police go to a practitioner's home and then deceive him or her into opening the door for them. If that ploy is not successful, they use a locksmith to break into the home, the police search it, and confiscate any Falun Dafa materials and related items and arrest the practitioner.

• The Suffering of a Mother

  2007-05-30
  I have searched hard for the proper words but I don't seem to be able to find any that accurately describe the feelings of a mother for her children. Her son Zheng Zhicheng was sentenced to three years in 1999 because he practises Falun Dafa. At the end of 2002, he was sentenced to three more years. Her son-in-law Wei Danquan was forced to retire from the army after the persecution began. His home was frequently ransacked, and he was monitored and detained many times. In 2003, he was sent to a forced labour camp. Seeing their son and son-in-law mistreated so terribly, her husband could not bear the trauma and passed away. Can you imagine what she must be feeling?

  My sister Zhou Meihua lives in Dalian, Liaoning Province in mainland China. In March 2007, she was arrested because she was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. She was imprisoned in a forced labour camp and has been tortured, including being beaten by police. Within just a month of imprisonment, Meihua looked like a different person. She was very thin and weak. Her hair was cut short and she was in camp uniform. Her face was bathed in tears. Her hands were red and swollen and some of the skin had peeled off. My mother suspected it was as a result of torture. When she asked what had happened, the guard answered that my sister is "too stubborn."
