Appeal to Rescue Qinghua University Student Ms. Liu Zhimei
2005-06-02After July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong started in China, Ms. Liu, like many other Qinghua University undergraduates, was suspended from university and sent home. They were pressured in various ways and required to write "guarantee statements" of repentance and statements. If not, they were sacked from the university. Because Ms. Liu withstood all this pressure from the university and from her family and upheld her freedom of thought and belief, she was not allowed to resume her course work. To make a living she worked at a games arcade in her hometown. In May 2001, Beijing City Police Department personnel arrested her and sentenced her to one year of imprisonment.

The Systematic Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners within the Chinese Military System
2005-05-31The Chinese Communist military organisation has played a major role in Jiang Zemin's regime's persecution of Falun Gong.
