• Art Studio Students Miss Their Teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu

  2007-05-31
  Tragically, art teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu was arrested by the public security bureau on April 21st. That night, teacher Zhang finished teaching and chatted with one of his student's parent at 11:00 p.m. when he left his studio. The next morning, the students came to school but their teacher was not there. Teacher Zhang's office had been ransacked and left a mess. Several investigators came to question other teachers (hired by teacher Zhang). At this moment everyone asked, "Where is teacher Zhang?" Finally the news came out that public security was investigating teacher Zhang as a Falun Gong practitioner. No wonder teacher Zhang is so kind, for he practises Falun Gong. Falun Gong is the practice of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The department persecuting teacher Zhang is the Bao Ming Detention Centre Xinan Neighbourhood Security.

• The Chinese Communist Party Is Hiding Its Second Verdict Against Cao Dong from the Public

  2007-05-31
  In May 2006, Dafa practitioner Cao Dong met with the European Parliament's Vice President, Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott. As a result, he was arrested. Mr. Cao was charged with "colluding with overseas anti-CCP forces" and "accepting an illegal interview." On February 8th, 2007, he was sentenced to five years of imprisonment. After the sentence, Mr. Cao's defence lawyer made a statement that "the trial decision does not conform to the facts" according to new evidence he collected. In order to cover up their crime of depriving Chinese citizens of their basic human rights, the judicial system operated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ignored the voice of justice and malevolently insisted on convening a second trial in private.

• Police in Changchun, Jilin Province Rampantly Arrest Practitioners and Search Their Homes

It seems that every two or three days several practitioners are arrested. Dozens of practitioners have recently been taken into custody. The police go to a practitioner's home and then deceive him or her into opening the door for them.
