• Falun Gong Practitioners Relentlessly Persecuted Under the "Healthy Influence of Education"

  2010-11-19
  Under the facade of kindness, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has come up with a new method of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. In September 2010, the police held a "Legal System Education Session" (actually a brainwashing centre) to "transform" [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] Falun Gong practitioners. They used a method called the "Healthy Influence of Education." Living conditions are slightly improved than a detention centre, however, the fundamental objective is still the same-- the authorities still try all means to force Falun Gong practitioners to write statements to give up practising Falun Gong, and they threaten to send practitioners to detention centres and to sentence them to prison if they refuse to co-operate.
