  • Details of the Persecution Targeting Falun Gong Practitioners Employed in the Field of Education in Zhoukou, Henan Province

Besides exercising their constitutional right to appeal for Falun Gong at appeals offices, practitioners have been spreading the truth about Falun Gong, which has touched people's hearts far and wide.

This prison boasts to the outside world about its humane administration and good living conditions--both outright lies.
