• Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Lin Qiongfang Recounts Ten Years of Suffering Persecution

  2010-10-28
  I have been detained several times and imprisoned twice because of my belief. Another practitioner and I went out to put up Falun Gong information exposing the persecution in public in February 2003. We were picked up by several officers and taken to the local police office. When we got there, an officer took one damp towel and put it through the gap of my handcuff. He twisted the towel around several turns, twisting my arms along with it. He then threw me to the ground and the handcuff cut into my skin. The police kept interrogating me for seven days and took me to a local prison. I was sentenced to six years in prison several days later.

• The Chinese Communist Party Makes Excuses for Persecute Falun Gong

  2010-10-27
  I have a friend who was a government official at the level of assistant department head. He practised Falun Gong, but few people knew it. Later, someone filed false charges against him. When the police ransacked his home, they confiscated his Falun Gong books, and arrested him. However, the police claimed to his family that he had been arrested for corruption. It was obvious that the police ransacked his home because he was a Falun Gong practitioner, so why did they say that it was because he was involved in corruption? When his family talked with some informants, the reason became clear: It was because he was a high-ranking official, and if he were arrested for practising Falun Gong, it would have caused quite a commotion. Therefore, they covered it up by falsifying a crime.
