• Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Propaganda against Falun Gong Brings Family Tragedy--Ms. Hu Lingying Cruelly Abused by Her Grown Children

  2010-06-16
  Ms. Hu Lingying, 70, is the mother of a doctor employed at the Jianyang City Hospital in Sichuan Province. Not only had the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecuted Ms. Hu, but her grown children were deceived by the CCP's propaganda to the point that they abused her many times for refusing to give up Falun Gong. Her son recently beat her, breaking her arm and crutches. She was also locked in her home without food and water, and suffered excruciating pain. Ms. Hu is in critical condition. Filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people, so how could Ms. Hu's daughter, son, and daughter-in-law show such outrageous cruelty? This is a consequence of CCP's poisonous lies and propaganda, which have brought out mental aberrations in a large percentage of the population.

• Accounts of Torture from the Chongqing Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2010-06-16
  The Chongqing Women's Forced Labour Camp is a brutal inhuman place. In order to generate revenue, the camp forces practitioners to do labour. The camp sends relatively young practitioners to the rubber workshop to make accessories for manufacturing cars. Older practitioners are sent to the sweet packaging workshop to wrap sweets. The camp sets a very high quota for each practitioner. In December 2009, the guards raised the quota again. Each practitioner had to wrap an additional pound of sweets every hour. If a practitioner has nine hours of quota left in one week, she is punished by being forced to sit for two hours if she is older than 60 years old. Otherwise, she is forced to stand for two hours. The quotas are set unrealistically high, and practitioners have to work until late into the night.
