• Investigative Report on Forced Labour Products Made by Falun Gong Practitioners in China's Labour Camps (Part II)

  2004-04-17
  Forced slavery in labour camps exists under the instigation of Chinese government policies. The establishment of these modern-day concentration camps masquerading as "re-education centres" is in fact in violation of China's own constitution. Camp conditions and procedures are not monitored or inspected, the camps are not required to publicize their activities, nor do they need any defense by attorneys. In fact, these "re-education centres" have become not only instruments of dictatorship but also criminal tools used at will by corrupt officials in China to lure foreign corporations that are uniformed of the true situation into participating in human rights abuses for the sake of profit.

  2004-04-17
  Ms. Wang Guimin is a retired worker from Kuangshan Machinery Plant in Jining City, Shandong Province. She is seventy-five years old. I met this gentle, elderly lady quite by chance. She related to me the great changes she had experienced both physically and mentally after she started practising Falun Gong. She also told me about the persecution she suffered since July 20, 1999. She showed no bitterness or regret. I was quite moved by her attitude, welling up with tears. Although I do not know much about Falun Gong, her steadfast belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance" should tell people that we need to wake up as soon as possible and uphold truth and justice.
