• Names of Officials Responsible for the Torture and Extortion of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Nanyang City

  2004-01-11
  Staff members from Nanyang City Political and Legal Committee "610 Office" have held many brainwashing sessions to persecute and extort money from practitioners. Every time a brainwashing session was held, the executive officers would appropriate large amounts of public money for the operation of such sessions. These funds are hard-earned money paid by the people of the district. However, on top of these extensive funds the brainwashing facility staff members force practitioners to pay 30 yuan in the name of room and board even though they are detained against their wishes and do not volunteer for these classes.

• Facts about Daqing City Brainwashing Centre: Two Million Yuan Used to Persecute the Innocent

  2004-01-05
  Shocking facts: As of December 2003, at least 24 Dafa practitioners whose names can be verified through civil channels were tortured to death in Daqing City.

Many Falun Dafa practitioners' families have had to suffer a great deal in order to scrape together or borrow the money, and they have travelled very long distances to pay the extortion fees to release their family members.

I said to the principal: "I am a working teacher and the classroom is my work place. I did not do anything wrong by practicing truthfulness, compassion and forbearance.
