• Daqing Public Security Bureau and 610 Office Persecute My Family

  2007-09-13
  During the first few years when we were forced to drift around on the streets to avoid arrest, the police often went to our home and knocked on the door. At that time, our little daughter was the only person at home and she got very scared. She would cry and say on the phone, "Daddy, I miss you and Mummy. But you must not come home. The police hide somewhere downstairs. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine as long as you're safe."

• Details of the Persecution Targeting Falun Gong Practitioners Employed in the Field of Education in Zhoukou, Henan Province

  2007-09-12
  Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started its ruthless persecution of Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, practitioners employed in the education field in Zhoukou, Henan Province, have informed people about the true nature of Falun Gong.

The following are facts of the CCP's persecution of practitioners in the education field in Zhoukou.

• How Wanjia Forced Labour Camp Persecuted Us

  2007-09-12
  On March 16th, 2002, my daughter and I took a train to Beijing. After we arrived in Tiananmen Square, as we walked, we called out, "Falun Dafa is good! Restore the good name of Dafa! Restore the good name of our Teacher!" A group of police officers tried to drag us into a police vehicle as they beat us. We tried to get away, but they pushed us into the vehicle and beat us.

This prison boasts to the outside world about its humane administration and good living conditions--both outright lies.
