Facts of the Persecution

1) A Letter from a Journalist in Mainland China to His Cousin: My father-in-law used to have very bad health, but after he took up the practice of Falun Gong several years ago, he became very healthy. Last November the police sent my father-in-law to a brainwashing class in an attempt to force him to give up practicing Falun Gong. My father-in-law would rather die than write the "Letter to Denounce Falun Gong." On February 3, 2003 we were notified to visit him. My father-in-law's lower body was paralyzed. He was extremely emaciated, with a dull look in his eyes. In only several months my father-in-law became a dying man. We could do nothing but cry. Last year when I was in Beijing on business I saw uniformed and plainclothes police beating and arresting Falun Gong practitioners who went to appeal. I hoped this could be published in the media overseas to expose the facts that the Chinese government is beating and persecuting innocent and kind people, and to ask for justice for my father-in-law. I will also try to let more Chinese people know what happened to my father-in-law and about the "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" of Falun Gong. Although it is dangerous, it is worthwhile.

2) Deng Xiancheng, a 31-year old Falun Gong practitioner in Hainan Province, was illegally detained for 2 years for validating Dafa. He was not released until 2002. At the end of August 2002 he was again illegally detained for posting truth-clarification materials and was sentenced to 3 years of forced labor. He was beaten by a vicious person, Wang Caixia. Currently he has lost the ability to talk, eat, and sleep and has been sent back to the Qionghai Public Security Bureau.

3) Zhao Surong, a 60-year old Falun Gong practitioner and Ren Yuehui, a 57-year old Falun Gong practitioner from Sichuan Province were kidnapped by the Yanjiang District Public Security Branch Office of Ziyang when they went to tell the truth about Falun Gong in Yangliu Township, Yanjiang District. When Zhao Surong was arrested she yelled aloud: "Falun Dafa is Good! Restore the Reputation of Falun Gong!"

The Attachment of Being Afraid that is "Hard to get rid of": One night after my husband went out, I wrapped truth-clarifications materials in red paper. Reciting Master's articles I distributed the materials without any problems. But upon returning home I forgot all about Master's articles and was afraid: "Did my husband see me? ..." After my husband came back, he found out that I had gone out to pass out Dafa materials and was very angry. He complained for a while and left home. After he left I cried terribly. Why was I so relaxed when I left, but so heavy after coming back? While thinking it over, the righteous thoughts came back. If I did not have the attachment of fear after coming home it would not have been like this. I felt relieved after finding the reasons: not enough righteous thoughts and the attachment of fear.
