After Six Years of Persecution, I Long to Reunite with My Parents
2005-11-21
"It has been six years since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Gong. This persecution tore my family apart and destroyed it. Because we believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" we don't lie, and we defend our rights given by the Chinese Constitution. We are persecuted by the CCP. In those six years, how many happy families have been destroyed? How many children have lost their parents? How many old people have lost their children? And how much bloodshed has occurred due to the persecution? " -

2005-11-21I was "illegally arrested" on April 4th, 2003 and detained at Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp for nearly 300 days. I experienced and witnessed many evil acts in this living hell.

Partial Account of Illegal Persecution at the Xindian Women's Forced Labour Camp in Shanxi Province
2005-11-20The work in this camp included producing cigarette lighters. The Chinese Communist Party's police certainly enjoyed the profits.

If an inmate did not finish, the perpetrators would subtract points, extend her term, or even subject her to excruciating pain.
