• The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Harasses Australian Practitioners' Family Members in China

  2007-05-10
  Police officers and staff of the 610 Office started harassing my family after they learned that my father and I had gone to Australia. They fear that we will expose the CCP's crimes. Every day, they go to my home in China and threaten my mother, saying that if we don't return, my sister's school education will be affected, and my mother will also be implicated. They also told my mother to tell us that if we return, they will not hold us responsible for anything. I know in my heart that this is one of their tactics. If we were to go back to China, my father and I would be tortured physically and mentally, and we would lose our freedom.
