Truth About Persecution

The personnel from Shiqiaocou District Brainwashing Class in Wuhan City use brutal methods to torture Dafa practitioners. Four thugs monitor each practitioner all day long. They don't allow Dafa practitioners to sleep, and they take turns torturing the practitioners around the clock. They brutally beat determined practitioners, and some practitioners were tortured so severely their blood pressure rose drastically and they can't get up. Instead of releasing practitioners who are in critical condition, the thugs even force the practitioners to put their two fingers into two holes of an electrical plug to shock them. Some practitioners held a hunger strike and were on the verge of death. Only when the hospital could treat the practitioners did the thugs notify the practitioners' family to pick up those who only had one breath left after paying a huge fine for the practitioners' release.

The vicious officers from the "610 Office" in Qinhuangdao City kidnapped Dafa practitioners and sent them to the Xiaowuan brainwashing class in Sanhai'uan City. In late October 2002, the police used base means to trick Dafa practitioners into the brainwashing class. What is more unbelievable is that the "610 Office" authorities claim Dafa practitioners are thieves and arrest them with this excuse. On their "wanted by police" list, they slanderously claim Dafa practitioners are murderers.

News From Abroad

After our trip to Dublin, when we went through customs at the Dublin Airport, a customs official first asked me many questions. When she learned I came to attend a Dafa experience exchange conference, she immediately smiled and said, Falun Gong is very good! A man standing next to her moved his arms to show us the second Dafa exercise. When we left the youth hostel, we neatly folded the blankets. The maintenance workers who checked the room were very pleased and welcomed us to hold our next activity there.
