[China] Aggravated Persecution against Practitioners Who Write Solemn Declarations
After some practitioners wrote the so-called "three statements*" under pressure, they submitted solemn declarations that the "three statements" they signed were null and void from then on. However, aggravated persecution was inflicted on them. Most of these practitioners were not allowed to see their family members. The worst case was the persecution against practitioner Mr. Su Yan. He has been locked up in a small cell since the end of February, has to suffer hunger and cold and is persecuted both mentally and physically.
*Three Statements: they are signed documents coerced under extreme pressure, torture and brainwashing, designed by the Chinese authorities to ensure that detained Falun Gong practitioners be appropriately brain-washed. The statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list containing names and addresses of all family, friends and acquaintances of the detainee who practices Falun Gong. This system was concocted by the "610 Office," an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
