Practitioner Mr. Li Shangshi Sends Article from Prison Describing His Persecution Experience
2008-01-14
I have been subjected to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecution, and I had to leave home to avoid further persecution. On April 20th, 2004, I left the home of my relative and rode a bicycle to the home of another relative in Weijia Village. All of sudden, four young men jumped out from the levee and pushed me down. At first, I thought this was a robbery, but when I tried to escape, I saw an older man standing there giving directions to them. I realised that they were policemen, so I shouted, "Falun Gong is good!" Some of the policemen tried to cover my mouth, and some pulled my arms behind my back and forcibly handcuffed me. After that, they pushed me into a jeep with ease since there were almost no passersby around at that time. They took me to the police station dragged me up to the second floor, and slammed me down on the floor. -

Practitioners Wrongly Held in Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp Demand Unconditional Release
2008-01-11My name is Zhang Shengjie. I'm 59 years old and from Harbin City. I was arrested on November 1st, 2005, and sentenced to three years of forced labour. I have been detained in the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp for over two years. I have talked to the division head and explained that Falun Gong practitioners are all good people. The response I got was that all practitioners in detention are required to be "transformed." I cannot understand into what kind of people the CCP wants the practitioners to be "transformed." In such a society with low moral standards, and where money is above all, practitioners follow the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" to purify their minds and gain good health, and to further improve the moral standards in the society. -
