Five More Confirmed Deaths of Falun Gong Practitioners From Three Provinces in Northeastern China
2004-02-20The persecution of Falun Gong is most severe in these three provinces in northeastern China.

Among the 346 cases, 138 victims were from Helongjiang Province, 110 were from Jilin Province, and 98 were from Liaoning Province. Based on the fact that the information about Mr. Song Gang, Mr. Liu Ming, and Mr. Wang Xidong's deaths did not come to light until four years after the fact, it makes sense to conclude that the death toll from this persecution instigated by Jiang Zemin's regime far exceeds 876. -
