A Little Room in the Homeless Transfer Station in Guangzhou City
2006-05-14"My name is Fuyun. I was in my aunt's house looking for a job in October 2000. My aunt was a practitioner. One day a dozen policemen suddenly appeared in her house and ransacked it. They suspected that I had helped my aunt mail Falun Gong materials, so they arrested and jailed me claiming that I did not have an identification card or a temporary lodging card. In the jail, I accidentally discovered a very small room at the far end of the second story of the transfer station building. Its iron door was tightly locked and had a little square hole in the middle. The room was barely big enough for a small bed. The toilet was right next to it. Inside the room were six or seven people ranging from a nine-year-old boy to a woman in her late 50s. I learned that they were all Falun Gong practitioners." -
