• Mourning My Mother Ms. Zhou Huimin

  2008-04-10
  Just a few days ago, I turned 15. My mother's name was Zhou Huimin, and she was 44 when she passed away. She used to be the manager of a moulding factory. Just a few days ago, my kind and healthy mother was tortured to death. In the 198 days since my mother was arrested, we worried and feared for her day and night. With great sorrow, I remember the days I spent together with my mother and mourn her. I want to call for the termination of the persecution so that such tragedies will no longer happen.

  2008-04-10
  In July, 1999, the Jiang regime [Jiang Zemin, former leader of China and instigator of the persecution] began a brutal persecution against Falun Gong and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." In 2000, Ms. Li Guiling travelled to Beijing twice to appeal for Falun Gong and was twice imprisoned in a detention centre. In 2002 she was sent to a brainwashing class for persecution.

Only after Zhang Sinan extorted 2,000 yuan from Ms. Li's family did they release her. After returning home, she could not recognize anyone and would hide whenever she saw anyone.

• Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Shandong Province No. 1 Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2008-04-09
  From my own experience, I knew that imprisonment in a forced labour camp was just like entering a demon's den. Besides insolent guards, there were one or two inmates assigned to monitor and torture practitioners. The inmates cooperated with the guards to carry-out brainwashing, involving instilled falsehoods and absurdities, in attempts to force practitioners to "reform." If these measures were counter productive, the guards would strike out by themselves. For example, division head Sun Juan would kick the older practitioners' naked calves with her shoes on. If you asked, "Isn't beating people not allowed here?" She would answer flagrantly, "Is this beating you? What I did was to educate you." She often declared openly and shamelessly, "We often denigrate you practitioners or even beat you. Why don't we do the same thing to passers-by on the street or others but only to you? It is because we love you."

• Popular Young Singer Murdered in "Preparations" for Olympics

  2008-04-08
  "Vows of Love" is a classic pop song that often evokes sweet memories among many in Mainland China.

His name is often associated with this song ever since he conquered hearts with his unique interpretation of its complex emotions.

• WOIPFG: An Investigative Report on the Persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Regime Under the Banner of Preparing for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games

  2008-04-08
  One year before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese Communist regime has intensified its persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Based on official documents from Chinese authorities and reports from persecuted victims, the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) has gathered ample evidence to show that the Chinese Communist regime never intended to improve its human rights practices by hosting the 2008 Olympics.

• Practitioners Forced to Undergo Brainwashing and Monitoring in Guigang District, Guangxi Province

  2008-04-07
  Practitioners were forced to view videos that slandered Falun Gong. There were over 100 such videos and a book that defamed Falun Gong. The police also searched practitioners' homes for Falun Gong books, materials and their sources, destinations where the materials were sent, those who taught Falun Gong, whom they practised with, and those who still practised Falun Gong. Each practitioner was monitored by two people. Practitioners' places of employment had to provide money and people to watch these practitioners. It is said that the cost of monitoring one person is ten thousand yuan. If the workplace could not provide people, the 610 Office would do it.
