  • Persecuted for Being Good - Two Family Members Pass Away As a Result of Persecution

    The police director came to harass my family quite a few times. My older parents and my 13-year-old son were greatly disturbed. Later they sent me to the Longshan Forced Labour Camp in Shenyang City and I was sentenced to two years of forced labour camp. When practitioners first arrive, they are strip searched, everything to do with Falun Gong is confiscated, and their money is confiscated as well. No one is told where the money goes. Policeman Tang Yubao abused Falun Gong practitioners either by swearing at them or beating them. They shocked Falun Gong practitioners often to the extent that their hands and feet were full of blisters and bleeding. Within these several years I have lost two family members. This was caused by Jiang Zemin's criminal regime persecuting Falun Gong.
