  In December 2000, Ms. Tang Jinai went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was then arrested and held in the Zengcheng District Detention Centre. She was two months pregnant with her first child at the time. Since the law states a pregnant woman cannot be sentenced to forced labour, police officials Luo Weijun and others from the Zhenlong Town Police Station took her to a hospital against her will and made her have an abortion. Afterwards, they watched her closely. On the eve of the 2001 Chinese New Year, they arrested her and took her to the Zengcheng Drug Rehabilitation Centre. Two months later, the persecutors sentenced her to one and a half years of forced labour.

• The Chinese Communist Party Squanders Taxpayer Money to Persecute Falun Gong

  2007-04-24
  In order to persecute Falun Gong, the Chinese Communist government uses its dictatorial power and taxpayers' money to set up huge organisations with large amounts of manpower, materials and financial resources. These organisations monitor the telephone calls of Falun Gong practitioners and place their movements under surveillance. They oversee the brainwashing of imprisoned practitioners. The so-called "Legal Centres" have been in existence since 2001, in order to try to force practitioners to give up their beliefs. In Zhaoqing City, the government provides three thousand yuan to the facility as a brainwashing fee for persecuting each Falun Gong practitioner. The practitioner's employer is required to provide three thousand yuan plus the staff's salary, about ten thousand yuan each month.
