[Beijing] The Regime Does Not Want Its People Know about Its Human Rights Violations

Although the persecutions against Falun Gong practitioners have been escalating constantly, many Chinese people knew nothing about this fact because the state-controlled propaganda machines do not report any cases of persecutions.

For example, last week, a practitioner took a taxi. The driver asked what was happening in the UN human rights meeting and why the Chinese government was reacting so strongly. This practitioner told him what Ms. Albright said and the fact that a Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Chen Zi-xiu was beaten to death just because she refused to give up her belief. The driver said that he knew nothing about this, and he felt indignant that the Chinese media does not give objective reports.
