[China] People Like the Truth-Clarifying Phone Calls

Recently whenever an important persecution case happens in a city, overseas Dafa practitioners have been calling China very timely to expose the persecution. This greatly shocked the evil and encouraged fellow practitioners. A lot of people were amazed. When one person receives a call from Falun Gong, he would press down the "speaker" button to let other people hear the truth of Dafa as well. People present all applauded, "Falun Gong is amazing."

[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Personnel from the Shenyang Prison Attempt to Cover up Persecution Facts and Forbid Practitioner to Write Letter

A Dafa practitioner detained at the Shenyang Prison refused to give up his/her belief in Falun Dafa. He was thus deprived of the right of writing to his family. When his family members visited him, he couldn't tell them the tortures he suffered. His family members can only see his body is covered with scabies. The practitioner's spouse also insisted on cultivating Dafa, and was forced to leave home to work in another city. Grandparents take care of their child who is under two years of age.

[Baoding City, Hebei Province] Lawless Policemen from the Baoding City Forced Labor Camp Persecute Dafa Practitioners

The environment for Dafa practitioners who are illegally detained at Baoding City's Forced Labor Camp is getting worse. Because the government did not longer appropriate funds to the forced labor camp, policemen didn't get a bonus for a long time. They then vented their anger on all Falun Gong practitioners. They brutally beat practitioners at will and confiscated practitioners' property that practitioners' families had sent. Many Dafa practitioners didn't tell their family the truth of the persecution they suffered, because they didn't want their families to worry about them.
