In Memory of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Yin Ling
2003-06-23Whenever I heard the guards turn on a loudspeaker to the unbearable maximum volume, I knew they were persecuting her by force-feeding. For quite a long time it had been impossible to put a tube to force-feed her because of the injuries in her nose, oesophagus and stomach, so the thugs cuffed her on a bed and let some people pull her hair and pinch her nose and cheek so that they could pour highly salted rice soup into her mouth. Every time they "fed" her that way for more than an hour. -

Jinan Police Use Deceitful Excuse of SARS to Illegally Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioner
2003-06-20Police in Jinan City were making use of the people's fear of SARS to find Zhang Mengcheng. This treacherous means of arousing panic in the populace in order to achieve its own purpose is no different from what Jiang did. If some SARS patients really did escape from the hospital, I am sure that the public would not have been told. This is because what Jiang and his regime are interested in is not people's safety, but their own power and position. -

2003-06-06Beginning in October 2001, I went to the district police department, the "610 Office," prosecutor and national security team to ask for my husband's release. Why didn't they release him?
