FooYeong-ching said that for the month, Charles Lee has been forced to attend brainwashing classes for more than 3 hours a day, and that the Chinese officials have tried to force Charles to admit that he is guilty of the so-called crimes he is charged with. Charles Lee has requested to see representatives from the U.S. Embassy, but the requests were all rejected. The Chinese officials also appointed 6 criminals to stay in the same cell as Charles Lee in order to watch him day and night. The Chinese government even pressured Charles' brother in order to find out who is trying to rescue Charles from overseas.
Facts of the Persecution
1) In early September, Xiantao City "610 Office" and the local police department used the guise of a "Political Study Class" and took 11 Falun Gong practitioners away. The police took the Falun Gong practitioners to a small town that is very far from their city, and forced them to go through brainwashing in a closed environment. Dafa practitioner Yang Taozhen was then sent to Wuhan City for further persecution on the 17th of July. It has now been over three months, and we are extremely worried for her safety.
2) Dafa practitioner Zhu Yuju from the Beijing Railway Science Research Institute was arrested on the 29th of October 2002. It's been one year now and recently Zhu Yuju was persecuted in the Beijing Police Department.
3) On the 11th of November, as directed by the local "610 Office," over 10 officers from the Zhangwan District Police Sub-bureau in Shiyan City, Hubei Province broke into Dafa practitioner Ms. He's house and arrested her. Ms. He works for Dongfeng Motor Company. Her computer and printer were confiscated. Along with Ms. He, Aunt Shi, who temporarily lived with Ms. He because she was homeless as a result of the persecution, was also arrested.
