"My name is Wang Yanqing and I am 37 years old this year.

2004-12-08My name is Ms. Liu Yingfu and I am 58 years old. I live in Chongqing City. Because Jiang's faction persecutes Falun Dafa, the local police officers forced me to write a statement guaranteeing that I would not practise Falun Gong and I would turn in my Dafa books. Afterwards, they tried to get me to become a secret agent. Because I refused their demands, they took me to a brainwashing centre. Their persecution of my mother-in-law caused her death.

A Practitioner's Child Says "I Need My Mum!"
2004-11-07Since July 20, 1999--when the persecution of Falun Gong started--until today, I have been living in horror, worry and fear.
