The persecution of Falun Gong continues in China to this day. This report presents statistics covering the first 6 months of 2013, based on reports received at the Minghui website. 

 

Various forms of mistreatment range from arrests, home ransackings, detentions, labor camp detainments, imprisonments, tortures, and many others.


Laws have been abused and the basic human rights of Falun Gong practitioners have been violated simply because of their beliefs.

  •   - 2101 were arrested

In addition, the deaths of 20 practitioners (all of which occurred before 2013) were reported during the first 6 months of the year.

Please note: In addition to the cases exposed here, many more accounts of persecution remain unreported due to information blockades and the fear of reprisal. Statistics will be updated once more information is available.
