• Petition Letter from the Mother of Yang Xiaojie, Who Died as a Result of Torture (Photos)

  2006-03-04
  "I am the mother of Yang Xiaojie. At 11:15 a.m. on January 26th, 2006, my beloved son Yang Xiaojie passed away. His face, seen by his family, was kind. He didn't want to leave his parents, both in their 70s, his dear wife, and especially his 16-year-old daughter, the apple of his eye. I was with my son when he died. I screamed until my throat was dry and all the strength had left my body. I held my son's hand and shouted continuously, "Xiaojie, come back! You can't leave. You are a tough boy. Mum can't live without you! you tried not to describe the tortures you suffered at the prison because you didn't want me to worry about you."

• Practitioner Ms. Su Baoli Recounts 18 Unconstitutional Detentions

  2006-03-01
  On July 20th, 1999, the wicked Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong. That date marked the end of our peaceful life. In the past six years, hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners, including myself, have experienced unprecedented cruel persecution only because we persisted in our belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and being good people. Our families were broken up, and many of us were thrown into prison. I was detained 18 times in violation of the Chinese constitution, and my family was fined 43,500 yuan. I recently broke free from the latest incarceration and cannot put into words the amount of suffering I have gone through.
