(Clearwisdom.net) In July 1999, an open cruel persecution of tens of
millions of Falun Gong practitioners who believe in principles of
Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerances began in China...
The genocidal policies used against this group of kind people are:
"Damaging Falun Gong practitioners' reputation, bankrupting them
financially and destroying them physically"
"No one will be held responsible if Falun Gong practitioners are beaten
to death, just count them as suicide"
"No investigation is needed, just have them cremated."
More than a hundred methods of ruthless torture:
Long period of continuous electric shock with high-voltage electric batons,
handcuffing with "wolf teeth cuffs", forced feeding, tying
practitioners on the "Dead person's bed", sexual abuse, "pressing
bed board", water dungeon, merciless beating, freezing, exposing
practitioners under the scorching sun, "Tiger Bench", injecting large
quantity of drugs to damage central nerve system, piercing iron nails into
practitioners' fingertips, forced abortion, tying a practitioner to the rear of
a vehicle and driving the vehicle fast, slave labor, depriving practitioners of
sleep for several weeks in a row, electric needle with extremely high intensity
and so on and so forth...
Tortures are commonly used against Falun Gong practitioners, especially those
who refuse to give up their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. Even
senior citizens, teenage girls and breastfeeding mothers are not able to escape
from the tortures.

Electric batons are most commonly used by police officers and jail guards in
persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. They use electric batons that carrying
voltages as high as 300,000 volts to shock practitioners' sensitive areas and
private parts including: mouth, root of the ear, center of the palms, center of
the bottom of the feet, genitals, and breasts. Sometimes they even use several
electric batons to simultaneously shock practitioners.
Ms. Gao Rongrong suffered from a 7-hour continuous electric shock and her
face was disfigured
Ms. Gao Rongrong, 36 years old, was a staff member in the financial
division of Lu Xun Art College in Shenyang City. She was shocked with electric
batons for 7 consecutive hours and her face was seriously disfigured. Now her
life is at the verge of death.
Burning Practitioners Bodies With Red Hot Objects

Practitioner's demonstration
|
The torture "burning": This torture is extremely cruel. Many
practitioners have been burned by police officers or jail guards with
cigarettes, which left their faces full of burned black scars. What extremely
cruel was that some vicious police officers even deliberately burned young
pretty female Falun Gong practitioners to disfigure their faces.
This form of torture includes using cigarette lighters to burn
practitioners' faces (even to burn their eyebrows off), their chins, hands,
thighs, or private parts.
At other times, specially made iron bars are heated in burning charcoal
until they become red-hot. They are then used to burn practitioners' chests
and thighs.
Guangdong Practitioner Mr. Tan Yongjie Suffers from 13 3rd
Degree Burns, Injuries Reaching Deep into the Muscles
Mr. Tan Yongjie, a Falun Gong practitioner from Guangdong Province was
tortured and suffered from more than 10 burns on his legs. He fled to the
U.S. and is saved from death. Doctors in Houston diagnosed that his13 wounds
were 3rd degree burns. The injuries reached deep into the
muscles. Even two months later after the torture he suffered, his wounds
were still too grisly to look at. Doctors placed a skin graft on the wounds
that were too big and too deep to heal themselves.
Force-feeding that Is Devastating in Nature
Force-feeding is a brutal torture method in the name of
humanitarianism, aiming at coercing practitioners who suffer from this
torture to give up their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.
Practitioners are force-fed with concentrated salt water, sticky corn
syrup, pepper juice and water, Irritant medicine, high-proof liquor,
detergent, urine, and excrement, and so on. In order to prevent Falun Gong
practitioners from resisting force-feeding, almost all practitioners on
hunger strike are tightly tied with different kinds of torture instruments
to restrict their bodies' movement. For instances, practitioners are tied
with ropes, heavy shackles, or their hands are cuffed from their back, and
they wear "Tank hats" on their heads to restrict the movement of
their heads.
A Successful Businesswoman Suffered from Brutal Force-feeding
Ms. Wang Yuzhi was a successful businesswoman. Her stubborn illnesses
were completely cured from her practice of Falun Gong. Because she
refused to give up her practice of Falun Gong and refused to stop
clarifying the truth of Falun Gong, she had been illegally imprisoned
three times. During her detention at the Wanjia Labor Camp in
Heilongjiang Province, she received brutal force-feeding. The cruel
torture almost made her lose her eyesight and her life was on the verge
of death.
About 100 Falun Gong Practitioners Died from Force-feeding
According to available statistics, about 100 Falun Gong practitioners
have died from force-feeding. They are: Xiao Liya, Gu Xiuxian, Liu
Xiaoling, Wu Baowang, Liu Guiying, Tan Chengqiang, Guo Meisong, and Kong
Deyi from Heilongjiang Province; Han Yuzhu, Wang Xianyou, Han Cuiyuan,
Li Shuqin, Jiang Shulan, and Liu Hong from Jilin Province; Liu Xuguo
from Shangdong Province; Gao Xianmin from Guangdong Province; Mei Yulan
from Beijing; Zhao Dongmei and Li Huiwen from Shanxi Province; and Li
Weihong from Shanghai and so on...
"Dead Person's Bed"
A practitioner demonstrating the torture of
"Dead person's bed"
"Dead person's bed" is also called "stretching
bed". It is used to torture Falun Gong practitioners who are on
hunger strike or those who refuse to give up their practice of Falun
Gong. When practitioners on hunger strike are tightly tied on the
"dead person's bed", their hands and legs are unable to
move. Then the jail guards and criminal inmates surround practitioners
to force-feed practitioners through their noses. Many practitioners
died from this torture.
Yoko Kaneko Had Once Been Tied on "Dead Person's Bed" for
Consecutive 20 Days and Endured All Kinds of Inhuman Tortures
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yoko Kaneko, wife of a Japanese man had
been cuffed on a "dead person's bed" for as long as 20 days
in a row. Her hands and feet were so tightly cuffed and shackled, that
her wrists bled. She was force-fed and was not allowed to use
restroom. Instead, a catheter was forcibly inserted into her urethra.
When she was released from the bed, she was already on the verge of
death. Her entire body felt numb and was unable to move. The skin on
her back was festering. The sleep deprivation and forced brainwashing
caused her blood pressure to rise and she nearly lost her eyesight.
Sexual Abuse
|
|
|
|
Torture
aiming at female practitioners: Sexual insult
|
One of the torture methods
against young female practitioners: Press with force their lower
part of body.
|
The inhuman persecution of female Falun Gong practitioners makes
people boil with anger. The vicious police officers use electric
batons to shock their breasts, nipples and private parts. They even
inserted an electric baton into female practitioners' vaginas, and
don't let off unmarried female practitioners. Police officers or jail
guards raped and gang raped female practitioners. They stripped off
female practitioners' clothes and threw them into male cells. Some
practitioners were raped on streets...
Female Falun Gong Practitioners Were Stripped off Naked and Threw
into cells with male inmates
In June 2000, at Masanjia Force Labor Camp in Shenyang City, 18
female Falun Gong practitioners were stripped off naked and threw into
cells with male inmates.
Drawing above illustrates that a female practitioner is stripped
off all clothes and she is hung and beaten.
Female Graduate Student Was Raped by Police Officers in front of
Other Inmates
On the evening of May 13, 2003, Ms. Wei Xingyan, a graduate student
from Chongqing University was raped by a police officer in front of
two other inmates in Baihelin Jail (detention center) of Shapingba
District.
Drawing above illustrates that police officers rape or gang rape
female Falun Gong practitioners.
A Female Practitioner Was Raped by a Police Officer on the Street
A female Falun Gong practitioner from Beijing was beaten up by a
patrolling plainclothes police officer and raped publicly. The police
officer sat on her body and used all of his strength to insert a
plastic baton into her vagina. The above three photos were taken nine
days later after the incident.
Pressing Bedboard
 |
 |
|
A
practitioner demonstrating being tightly tied and then put under
a bed which is pressed down by heavy objects or by people who
sat on it and exerted forces.
|
Pressing bedboard is a method of torture used in brainwashing
classes and forced labor camps against Falun Gong practitioners who
refuse to give up their belief. This method of torture is extremely
brutal. Police officers or jail guards first tightly tied a
practitioner's feet and legs and tied his/her hands behind the back.
Then they tightly tied that practitioner's neck and legs together,
which almost choked the practitioner. After that, they shoved the
practitioner under a bed and sat on the bed or used forces to press
down the bedboard, which forced down on the practitioner's back and
could almost crush the practitioner's bones. Long period torture of
this kind can severely injure the victim.

Mr.
Chen Gang who was rescued from China and
came to the U.S. is accepting interviews.
|
Chen Gang, was the logistic manager at the Carlsberg Brewery in
Beijing. He was subjected to the torture of "pressing bedboard".
Jail guards ordered more than 10 criminal inmates to beat him, until
his face was unrecognizable. After they beat him up, they tied his
legs and feet tightly, and his arms were tied behind his back. Then
the criminal inmates tied his neck so tightly to his legs that it
almost suffocated him. After they tied him up, they shoved him under a
wooden bed and had more and more people sit on top to press down his
back. He felt his bones close to breaking. After this torture, he
couldn't walk for two weeks. Another practitioner Lu Changjun
suffered the same torture and became paralyzed.
Water Dungeon
Water dungeon: Practitioners are stripped off clothes and dunked
into dirty water which is as high as the practitioner's chest.
Practitioners subjected to this torture are unable to see the sunshine
for a long period of time. Police officers or jail guards determine at
will how long the torture lasts. In the worst case, practitioners died
from the torture. In the less severe case, practitioners' bodies were
soaked festered.
Ms. Ding Yan Was Tortured to Death in Chengde Prison
Ms. Ding Yan, 32 years old was from Shijiazhuang City. She was

A Female University Instructor Was Beaten up Which Caused Her 3
Vertebrae Fractured
Ms. Zhao Xin was a young instructor from the Beijing University of
Industry and Commerce. While being detained in the jail (detention
center) attached to the Haidian Police Substation in Beijing, she was
severely beaten up which caused the fracture of her three neck
vertebrae. After six months of suffering from the extreme pain, she
died on the evening of December 11, 2000.
Honest and Upright Senior Gentleman Liu Yufeng Was Beaten to Death
Liu Yufeng, male, 64, was a retired worker from Xiaozetou Village
of Songcun County, Wendeng, Shandong Province. He was an honest and
upright man. He was openhearted and publicly recognized as a good
person. After practicing Falun Dafa, his diseased body regained
health. He suffered tremendous tortures in the Wendeng Jail (Detention
Center) and died from the torture. Autopsy by legal medical experts
showed that, extravagated blood was discovered in his right eye-lid.
There were cuts and bruises on his face, and black and blue marks left
by electric shocks on his throat, chest, and legs. The skin had begun
to separate from the body, and the soft tissue below the skin was
damaged. It was discovered that the second, third, and forth ribs on
both the right and left sides were fractured. The upper one-third of
the sternum was broken. His whole body was covered with bruises and
injuries.
Young Man Was Beaten to Death
Li Zhongmin, male, 31 years old, was tortured to death on March 3,
2003. When he died, some witnesses saw numerous wounds on his body,
with bloodstains on the back of his head and a big area of bruises on
his inner thighs. There were many red marks on his backs, and his eye
sockets were deeply sunken in. The above photos were taken in May
2001, one week after he was beaten at the Harbin Road Police
Substation in Dalian Kaifa District. At that time, his wounds gained
some recovering.
Tsinghua University Graduate Was Tortured to Death
Yuan Jiang, 29 years old, graduated from China's most prestigious
university, Tsinghua University. He was kind, simple and had brilliant
talents. Before he practiced Falun Gong, he suffered various kinds of
illnesses. He had once taken one year sick leave from school. After
practicing Falun Gong, his physical and mental health dramatically
improved. He was the Vice General Manager of the Information
Technology Engineering Co., an affiliate to the Telecommunications
Bureau in the city of Lanzhou. In September 2001, he was arrested in
Dunhuang, Gansu Province and had since been severely tortured for two
months. A full truck of torture instruments were used on him. His
entire body was covered with wounds and scars and it was too horrible
to look at. Later, he passed away.
Freezing and Exposing Practitioners under Scorching Sun
2. Practitioners' demonstration of the torture
Freezing: In winter, in temperatures of minus 20 to minus 30
degrees Celsius, police officers or jail guards forced practitioners
to stand outside with only underwear so as to coerce them to give up
their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.
Exposing under Scorching Sun: In hot summer, police officers
handcuffed steadfast Falun Gong practitioners outside under the hot
sun for a long period of time, which often caused practitioners to
faint, left burns on their skin and made them lose body fluids. In
some brainwashing classes, in order to cover up what they were doing,
the police officers adopted even more malicious way. In midsummer,
they locked practitioners in a small airtight room and opened the heat
system to its maximum to stifle practitioners for a long period of
time.

He was arrested because he used TV network to clarify the truth of
Falun Gong to the public. After Liu Chengjun was handcuffed and
shackled, police officers shot twice in his legs, which severely
injured him. The photo provided by the Chinese News Agency showed
that Liu Chengchun who had suffered all kinds of tortures did not
have the energy to maintain a natural sitting posture.

Injecting Drugs Damaging Central Nerve System
In order to force practitioners to renounce their belief, steadfast
practitioners who resolutely persist in their belief of
Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance are often injected drugs that damage
their central nerve systems. Some were thus tortured to become mental
abnormal. Some were even tortured to death.
Death Caused By Injecting Large Quantity of Unknown Drugs
Lu Hongfeng, female, 37, was Deputy Principal and Educational
Administration Director of the Lingwu City No. One Elementary School
in Ningxia Province. She was a senior teacher and an excellent teacher
in her district. In a local psychiatric hospital, she suffered various
tortures by means of drugs and died.
Zhang Fangliang, 47, was the Deputy County Magistrate of the
Rongchang County, Chongqing City. He was an honest and incorruptible
official. He was injected with some unknown drugs during his detention
in the Tongliang Jail (Detention Center) and died from torture on July
9, 2002.
Xu Guiqin, 38, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Taian City,
Shangdong Province. During her one-year imprisonment in the Shangdong
Province No. One Forced Labor Camp for Women, she was brutally
tortured. Two days before she was released, because she refused to
give up her belief, she was once again beaten and injected with some
drugs that damaged central nerve system. After she returned home, she
appeared to be mentally abnormal. Nine days later, she passed away.
Zhang Dezhen, 38, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Xie
Village, Jiuzhai Town, Mengyin County and shangdong Province. She was
unlawfully arrested by the Mengyin County's "610 Office" and
local police bureau. Under the situation that she was extremely weak,
she was injected with large quantity of drugs, which caused her death
from heart failure.
Digging Bamboo Sticks
Practitioners demonstrating the torture method of "digging
bamboo sticks" into their fingertips under fingernails.
Digging bamboo sticks: The long bamboo sticks were forced into
practitioners' finger tips through their fingernails, which caused
extreme pain for victims.
- Falun Gong practitioner Cheng Fengxiang from Yongnian County,
Hebei Province had suffered this torture of "digging bamboo
sticks".
- Liu Jinfang from Henan Province was beaten to injured by the
police officers from the political and security department of the
Xiangcheng City. After she endured various kinds of tortures,
police officers pricked through her fingertips and toes with
bamboo sticks. She was in such a huge pain that she lost her
consciousness. The police then once again plunged bamboo sticks
into her fingers or toes to wake her up.
- Zhang Zhigang was a Falun Gong practitioner from Deyang,
Sichuang province. The police officers first beat him up and then
dug baboon sticks into his fingertips and threw red and hot
cigarette stubs into his underwear.
Forced Abortion
Practitioners demonstrating the method of forced-abortion.
Forced abortion: In order to transform the pregnant Falun Gong
practitioners in labor camps, jail guards forced them to have abortion
disregarding how long their pregnancy was and whether that would risk
their lives.
- Giving Injection to Induce Abortion, Policemen Watch a
Practitioner Having an Abortion:
Evil deed done by policemen
of Mengzhou City, Henan Province. In order to send practitioner Ms.
Geng Juying to a forced labor camp, policemen forced her to have an
abortion. They gave her abortion-inducing injections against her
will. When she was in unbearable pain, several policemen looked at
her and laughed cruelly, and as they watched her abort, they said
lewdly, "Aren't you pretty' We just want to watch you have an
abortion." Thus Geng Juying lost the baby under the malicious
eyes of these wicked policemen. Afterward, Geng Juying was put into
a brainwashing center in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province.
Imprisoned at 2-month Pregnancy and Forced to Have Abortion at
7-month Pregnancy: Ms. Liu Sujun, 37 years old was arrested when
she was two months pregnant. Knowing her physical condition, the
police still locked both her hands and feet together with heavy
shackles. She suffered this kind of inhuman torture until she was
seven months pregnant. Then, she was forced to terminate her
pregnancy.
An 8-month Pregnant Practitioner Was Forced to Have Induced Labor,
Life or Death of the Newborn Infant Remains Unknown: Falun Gong
practitioner Ms. Liu Qiuhong, 39, was a worker from Zhongce
Medicine Company. When she was 8-month pregnant, she was arrested by
police officers from her home. She was forced to have induced labor.
Her child was alive and crying when he was born. But after the child
was sent away, his life or death remains unknown. After Ms. Liu was
forced to have induced labor, she was not allowed to have rest. In
stead, she was held in the Fenghuangtai Office to receive brainwashing
for nearly one month. Recently, she was sentenced to forced labor.
Tying a Practitioner to the Rear of a Vehicle and Driving the
Vehicle Fast

|
| |
Practitioners' demonstration |
Dragging practitioners by vehicles: Policemen also tied Falun
Gong practitioners who do not give up their belief and peacefully
resist the persecution to the rear of a police vehicle or a motorcycle
and then wildly drove the vehicle, which dragged practitioners on the
ground and made their bodies full of cuts and bruises, and badly
mauled. Bones could be seen at where their bodies touched the ground.
It was too horrible to look at.
Evildoings of Police Officers from Baiguo Town, Macheng City: Set
a Practitioner Who Was still Alive on Fire and Drag Practitioners on
Grounds by a Fast-driving Motorcycle
Ms. Wang Huajun was in her 30s. In April 2001, she was beaten
almost to death by the local government officials and was dragged to
the front gate of the City Administration. They poured gasoline on
her body and set her on fire. She was burned to death; however, the
police told the people who were watching the event that it was a
"self-immolation."
The policemen also tied two Falun Gong practitioners to
motorcycles and went for a ride. The scene of those two
practitioners being dragged on the ground was so brutal that people
couldn't bear to watch.
Slave Labor
 |
 |
|
Practitioners demonstrating slave labor
|
Slave Labor: Over the past five years, tens of thousands of
Falun Gong practitioners have been illegally imprisoned and forced to
do intense slave labor without any payment. The working environment
was extremely bad. Their products include packed chopsticks, give-away toys for fast food restaurants and hair products for Henan Rebecca Hair Product Inc., a major
company that bring in foreign exchange income for Xuchang City.
- Producing "Sanitary" Chopsticks
: The Department of
Dispatch of Beijing's City Labor Education Bureau forced people in
the labor camp to work excessive long hours to make
"sanitary" chopsticks, from 6:00am to 9:00pm or sometimes
even past midnight. Not only Falun Gong practitioners are forced to
pack the chopsticks, other inmates including those who abused drugs,
patronize prostitues, and robbers and thieves are all forced to pack
the chopsticks. The chopsticks made there were far from being
"sanitary". With dozens of inmates squeezed into one small
room, the chopsticks to be packed were piled on the floor
arbitrarily and often stepped on by workers. Many of them had skin
diseases, scabies outbreaks, and some were drug addicts or diagnosed
with sexually transmitted diseases. Some inmates are hostile toward
the society and therefore deliberately nip dirty stuff on the tips
of the chopsticks. Some even rub the chopsticks on their feet or
other dirty parts of their bodies. The payment for the contracted
forced labor became income for the policemen at the labor camps.
- Producing wax candles that emit strong chemical odors
: Since
July 2001, the Longshan Labor Camp officials have forced Falun Gong
practitioners to process wax candles in various colors. Many
practitioners looked pale, became dizzy and sick and lost their
appetite from inhaling these toxic odors emitted by the candles.
- Producing flax cushions for car seats
: Jiamusi Forced Labor
Camp forced Falun Gong practitioners to produce flax cushions for
car seats from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. nonstop. This kind of flax produces
a lot of particles and dust, which is harmful to one's health,
irritates the respiratory system and causes an itchy throat and
difficulty in breathing. There were no safety measures in place in
the production area.
- Producing Give-Away Toys for Fast Food Restaurants
: officials at the Hewan Forced Labor
Camp in Wuhan City have for a long time forced detainees to make give-away toys for fast food restaurants outside China, including an eagle toy and a bear toy. The
workshop starts the day at 6:00 a.m. and stays open until 2:00 a.m.
the next morning.
- Producing Traffic Control Batons and Toothpicks
: Changlinzi
Forced Labor Camp forced Falun Gong practitioners who have better
eyesight to weld together traffic control batons used by traffic
police. The batons are exported to South Korea. Practitioners with
worse eyesight are forced to make toothpicks. The labor camp forces
them to work 16-17 hours a day. Those who can't work as fast end up
having to work day and night. Corn noodles and bread are the only
food ever available. Practitioners receive electric shock torture
and beatings all the time.
Because of their practice of Falun Gong, their lives had been full
of vigor. However, because they would not give up their belief in
Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance, they are subjected to suppressions
and tortures and some of them have even been tortured to death...
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Ma Xuejun, an official from the Railway
Bureau of Jiamusi City has been tortured so badly in prison that he is
now on the verge of death.

 |
| Mr. Ma Xuejun, a healthy and happy man after practicing Falun
Gong |
Mr. Ma Xuejun, after one-year suffering from the persecution
|
Before Ma Xuejun practiced Falun Gong, he suffered from aplastic
anemia and hepatitis B. His doctor said that he would not survive. In
the end of 1994, he started practicing Falun Gong and he fully quickly
recovered from all illness. Mr. Ma has been acknowledged as a good
person who works hard and conscientiously. He has never been
corrupted.
Just because Ma Xuejun firmly upheld his practice of Falun Gong,
over the past more than four years, he had twice been unreasonably
detained for as long as six months, respectively. He was once
sentenced to 3 years in a forced labor camp. He was sent home until
his health was in a critical condition after one year and six months
imprisonment, during which he had been severely tortured using various
means including shocking him with electric batons and electric chairs,
hitting his toes with chair legs, kicking him with leather shoes on
his lower back and chest, and suffocating him with plastic bags...

Ms. Wu Lingxia, 37 years old, had suffered tremendous tortures
physically and mentally during her detention in the Shuangyashan Jail
(Detention Center), which caused her to suffer from liver cirrhosis
induced ascites. She was sent home and died in July 2002.
Ms. Chen Xingtao from Yueyang City, Hunan Province Became Crippled
as a Result of the Persecution and Was Tortured to Death Later

Her sacrum was festered and a big hole
appeared
|
Ms. Chen Xingtao, born in 1963, was a Falun Gong practitioner from
Xinzhuang Group, Guqiao Village, Yanglin Town, Yueyang City, Hunan
Province. In January 2001, she was illegally imprisoned in the
Baimalong Female Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou city, Hunan Province.
During her imprisonment, she was ruthlessly tortured. As a result, her
lower body was paralyzed and numb and she suffered incontinence of the
bowel. She was released from the labor camp in May 2001 and after more
than one year of suffering, she passed away.
According to available statistics, up to August 29, 2004, at least
1032 Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured to death.
More than 6000 practitioners have been illegally sentenced to
prisons.
Over 100,000 practitioners have been sent to forced labor camps.
Several thousands Falun Gong practitioners have been forcibly held
in psychiatric hospitals and injected with drugs that damage their
central nerve systems.
Numerous Falun Gong practitioners have been abducted and held in
"brainwashing" centers at different places where they are
subjected to mental tortures. More people have been beaten, physically
punished and even economically extorted.
Tens of Millions of Falun Gong practitioners' family members,
colleagues and friends have been implicated and brainwashed to
different degrees.
Because Jiang group's tight blockade of information regarding the
brutal persecution, large quantity of persecution facts have not been
exposed. In addition, some of the tortures are too cruel to be
demonstrated by neither paintings nor live re-enactment, therefore,
what we exhibit here are only a tiny part of the persecution in terms
of depth, scope and severe degrees.
Dear Friends,
Your warm words,
Your sympathy and love
Your signature...
Are all very precious to us
All small amount of force of kindness will be gathered together to
break through the dark ¨C stop the tortures.
The world needs Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance...
Anti-torture exhibitions move people's hearts. People are shocked
and indignant at Jiang group's brutality.
People express their sympathy and shed tears for the kind Falun
Gong practitioners
People solemnly signed their names on the petition book condemning
Jiang group's inhuman persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. People
asked, "What can we do to help?"
