My name is Dai Ying and I am 48 years old. During the past seven years of the Chinese regime's persecution of Falun Gong, I was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor. After that, I was taken to another forced labor camp for two more years. During the past five years, I have suffered cruel torture by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Due to the persecution I suffered, I have lost the sight in my left eye, my upper and lower teeth loosened, and my body is deformed.

I wish to expose the cruel torture I suffered at the hands of the CCP regime to the international community, so the world will hear the truth about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong.

Imprisoned

On July 21, 1999, fellow practitioners and I went to the Shenzhen City appeals office to appeal to the government. Instead of finding help, the police arrested us. My husband was secretly detained, but 10 days later, he successfully escaped.

On September 29, police officers from Shenzhen City arrested my husband and me. They ransacked our home and detained us at Futian District Detention Center. With our family's help, I was bailed out 15 days later, but my husband was still in detention.

Because my husband, Li Jianhui, remained firm in his belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance", Shenzhen government officials reported him to Guangdong Province officials and the 610 Office of the Central CCP. The prosecutor from the Shenzhen City Procuratorate told my husband, "You were not guilty, but we had to sentence you. This was dictated by higher authorities."

Before the trial began, I hired a lawyer named Qu from the Shenzhen City New Century Lawyers Office to represent my husband. My husband's brother hired a lawyer by the name of Ms. Xu. Both of them were supposed to defend my husband. After they read everything in his file, they didn't think that he was guilty. Attorney Qu took this file to Beijing and, during a law seminar, discussed the constitution and other laws in regards to my husband's case. Those experts agreed that my husband had not committed any crime, so Attorneys Qu and Ms. Xu decided to defend my husband and prove his innocence. However, before the trial, Shenzhen City Court learned that lawyers would defend my husband and plead not guilty. Shenzhen municipal government officials used staff at the police bureau to stop Ms. Xu. They did not allowed her to defend my husband. In addition, they had the Shenzhen City Juridical Bureau force Ms. Xu to void her contract with me and barred her from representing my husband in court. They did not allow the two lawyers or any members of our family to be in the courtroom. Instead, they appointed a lawyer who pleaded guilty.

Futian District Court "illegally sentenced" my husband to a four-year term at the end of February 2000. The trial was illegal under China's Constitution and the procedure was not based on any legal grounds.

Therefore, I wanted to go to the State's Council at Beijing's appeals office. I wanted to speak up for Falun Gong and its practitioners. (Appealing to the government is also a right granted to every citizen under the Constitution.) On March 5, 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal. Police officers there detained me and took me back to Shenzhen City, where I was detained in Futian District Detention Center.

Cruel Torture

In order to resist and protest the persecution, I went on a hunger strike. Three days later, police officers from the detention center began to force-feed me. Forced-feeding has become a means for guards to torture Falun Gong practitioners.

They carried me outside. Four or five guards held me down. They put a very rigid tube into my nose until I bled. When the tube did not reach my stomach, they forced my teeth open with a screwdriver. Then they put a bamboo barrel with a very sharp end into my mouth with a lot of force. My mouth hurt immediately. After that, they force-fed me with food or condensed salt water. I felt like choking. Food and blood came from my mouth and nose and went all over my clothes. After they finished the forced-feeding, I felt as if I had died. I was force-fed every two to three days.

One time during the force-feeding, I held my teeth closed very tightly. Doctor Zhou from the detention center used a large screwdriver to force my mouth open. I lost two front teeth and my upper and lower front teeth became loose.

Practitioner Wang Xiaowen also lost two front teeth. I witnessed practitioner Ms. Xue Aimei being forced-fed with chile oil and chile powder. After she returned to her cell, her nose and face were all bloody and she was covered with chile oil and food. Because we hadn't committed any crimes and were being detained illegally, all of us refused to wear the detention center uniforms. Guards Li Xiaozheng, Zhang, Meng and others, about a dozen in total, stripped over 20 female practitioners. The guards pushed naked female practitioner out of her cell to show her to male prisoners, just to humiliate her.

We also had to do hard manual labor daily. We made leather shoes. Our fingers developed blisters and became deformed. These products were exported to the US, Europe, and other countries. We were forced to work from 7:30 a.m. to midnight, and sometimes until 1:00 a.m. We weren't given any breaks during the week or on weekends. A cell was just a little over 30 square meters. There was a washroom, but there were over 30 people in the one cell. We had to sleep on our sides and often with our head next to another's feet. For food we were given moldy rice. The treatment in the detention center was inhuman.

I was sentenced to a three-year term. On March 8, 2001, I was transferred to Shaoguan Prison (currently Guangdong Province Women's Hospital) for further persecution. Because I refused to give up Falun Gong, Political Instructor Luo, Dai, Team Leader Zheng Zhue, Team Leader Cai Guangping, and Assistants Lin and Yang took turns talking to me daily. They used hard and soft tactics, threatened and cursed me, and attempted to brainwash me. They often forced me to watch TV programs defaming Falun Gong and Master Li. When I refused to give up Falun Gong, they tortured me. They forced me to stand facing the wall, without moving or sitting down. They also deprived me of sleep. Besides talking to me, the only thing they could think of was to make me stand for a long time. Three days passed and I couldn't keep from falling down, but they woke me up and forced me to stand again. Then I fell again, stood up, fell again..... Not until I couldn't stand up anymore did they allow me to sleep. Then they told me to stand again. This went on and on relentlessly. Occasionally, they allowed me to sleep for no more than two hours. During the few hours that they allowed me to sleep, they had two inmates with contagious diseases sleep beside me on the ground. One had TB and the other had a skin disease. Her body was rotting. The guards wanted me to contract their diseases.

One time in our meeting, I was taken to the platform. Guard Lo said in front of hundreds of people, "She practices Falun Gong. No one is allowed to talk to her nor give her any personal items." I was also deprived of buying any day-to-day items for use in the bathroom. I had to use water as I was not allowed any paper. Generally I was watched by three to four people when I was eating, using the bathroom, and taking a shower. They monitored me closely. They always found fault with me, and swore at and humiliated me. They recorded what I said and then reported it to the guards.

I didn't give up my belief. Therefore, the guards often shocked me with electric batons. They also threatened me, "If you are not 'transformed,' you will be taken to the Great Northwest." The Great Northwest is located in the Northwest of China. Not many people live there but there are concentration camps, where many of the detained have disappeared.

After just one month of this inhuman torture I developed high blood pressure (before, my blood pressure was normal). It exceeded 220. I felt muddle-headed. Even so, they still forced me to do 14 hours of hard labor daily. When I didn't reach the quota, they didn't allow me to take a break. I made saddles and light chains to hang on Christmas trees. I was totally exhausted.

Seeing that I didn't give up practicing Falun Gong, guard Lo said, "I have been treating you too nicely." She threatened to lock me up with a mental patient in solitary confinement and have that mental patient spray urine on me. She asked me to think about it for 15 minutes. After I told her that I didn't care, she gave up.

I Became Blind in One Eye

A few days later, at about 10:00 p.m., guard Li and three criminal inmates carried me to the basement. The inmates pressed me down and tied me so that I couldn't move. Guard Li was holding an electric baton and began to shock me. He shocked me at my acupuncture points and my sensitive parts. He shocked my Sun and Renzhong acupuncture points, and central nervous system in the cervical vertebra. He shocked me many times. I cried miserably. My heart felt as if it were torn and I was in terrible pain. I couldn't stand up. That time, they shocked me for between 30 and 40 minutes.

The next morning, I could no longer see clearly. This was the result of being shocked for a long time. I demanded that team leader Zheng and guard Yang take me to Li City Hospital, which was outside the prison. The diagnosis was that the blood vessels and vision nerves at the bottom of my eyes were injured. I went blind in my left eye, and my vision was 0. The doctor said that it couldn't be healed, and I would lose my vision in that eye completely. In addition, it also would impact my right eye. My right eye was 0.1, and my left eye became 0.

The persecution by the CCP has caused great harm to me and my family. My family was separated and ruined. My husband and I were detained and my 14-year-old daughter had nobody to take care of her. My mother passed away during this persecution. I was not told about her death.

Liu Cheng, a prisoner who participated in my persecution, said, "You are not treated the most inhumanly. Song Ping was tortured worse than you. What you suffered was only one tenth of what she suffered. When she was shocked, they poured water over her. Once she was wet all over her body, they shocked her with a few electric batons at the same time. She was shocked until she bounced off the wall then bounced back to the ground. Then she was shocked again. She was wounded all over. She could no longer eat. Then she was taken to the hospital."

After being shocked, I became blind. However, Guangdong Women's Hospital still forced me to do hard labor. When my family came to visit, I had to be escorted by two guards. The meeting room is isolated from the outside with walls and windows. We can only communicate through the telephone. Behind me, there was a guard holding another phone to monitor my discussion. He recorded it at the same time. We were not allowed to inform family members about the persecution we suffered. If we ever said even half a sentence about what was going on inside the jail, our phone would be cut off, and we would lose the chance of being visited ever again. Therefore, if a person was detained in the prison, he was forbidden to hear any outside news, nor could those outside find out what was going on inside. Only two months before my term was due to expire did they agree to have someone bail me out for medical reasons and let my family take me home.

At 10:00 p.m. on February 27, 2003, two months after I returned home, police officer Wang Xiang from the 610 Office in Shenzhen City and over 20 police officers broke into my home. They took my husband and me to Futian District Detention Center, where I met practitioner Ms. Wang Suqin, who was 67 years old. She told me that when police officers from the 610 Office in Shenzhen City interrogated her, they locked her in a small room. Although it was a very cold winter, they ran fans non-stop for two days and nights and deprived her of food and sleep. She told me that her son, Li Xiaoqiu, was also detained at Futian District Detention Center. Her daughter suffered from inhuman torture from the police officers in the 610 Office of Shenzhen City. Her daughter asked someone to pass a note to her, which said that she would never commit suicide. Even if [the authorities claimed that she had], she would have been tortured to death.

Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp

Because I wasn't "transformed," when I had been home for only two months, I was again taken to a forced labor camp for two years. I was detained in the No.3 Team in the No.1 Ward of Sanshui Guangdong Province Women's Forced Labor Camp.

At Sanshui Forced Labor Camp, I was detained in a small cell. The windows and doors were covered so that people could not see what was going on inside. I was tortured by the head of the forced labor camp, Xie, Tang; Divisional Manager Ge; Chen; Team Leader Sun; Tang, Zhang; and guard Liu Ai.

They didn't allow me to write letters to my family nor allow my family members to come and visit me. They tried to brainwash me, took turns talking to me, forced me to write my "understandings" daily, deprived me of sleep and forbid me from going to the bathroom. This kind of mental torture and brainwashing was the most painful. I had noticed that some practitioners became very sick after being forced to undergo brainwashing. Some could no longer walk. Over 30 practitioners suffered from high blood pressure. I also saw that a female practitioner was persecuted to the point of mental collapse. The guard didn't notify her family. Some were skin and bones from the torture. Some were transferred to other places where they were cruelly tortured. Every time practitioners were transferred, guards brought other people into their cells and closed the doors. The practitioners who were dying were wrapped in blankets and carried by guards and prisoners secretly downstairs. No one knows what happened to them.

Every day we were forced to do hard labor sorting garbage. The garbage came from Hong Kong. It stank. We had to take all plastic and metal from the garbage. This is the type of work no one else wants to do, but we were forced to do it. Everyone was assigned a quota. If we couldn't meet the quota, our term would be extended.

In April 2004, about 160 practitioners were locked up in one room. Many police officers and doctors from Foshan City People's Hospital gave us injections and performed medical exams. I asked team leader Sun, "How come you are only examing Falun Gong practitioners and not other prisoners as well?" She said, "Even though they want injections, they will not receive them. This is the special care the government gives you guys." A few police officers brought in a practitioner who had fainted after being injected. After seeing this, all of us resisted and did not cooperate. I was not given an injection, but some practitioners were given injections. Seeing all of us resist it, they stopped giving injections.

A few days later, police officers took a few practitioners to the forced labor camp clinic. Doctors from Foshan City People's Hospital performed exams, took blood for testing, did electrocardiograms, x-rays, and so on. The equipment to carry out these procedures was brought in by staff from Foshan City People's Hospital, and some of it was installed in luxury buses.

When the doctors were giving me an electrocardiogram, they appeared to have found a problem. One asked in detail whether I had a heart problem. I said, "I was persecuted for three years, and I suffered cruel punishment. My heart sometimes stopped beating." During this medical check-up, the doctors pressed and tested my kidneys. One asked me, "Do they hurt?" They took a lot of blood. When I asked the doctor why they took so much blood, the doctor said that it was needed to test for a number of things. In the end, every Falun Gong practitioner had been given a medical check-up and had his or her blood tested. Even those who had developed a mental disorder were not exempt. Other, non-Falun Gong practitioner prisoners didn't have to go through this. At that time I already knew that the medical check-ups were not for our health.

After the exams, I discovered that some practitioners had disappeared; I didn't know where they went. The warden said, "If you don't give up Falun Gong, we transfer you to other places."

I never heard from the practitioners who were transferred. I understood the reason for these medical tests after I heard about the CCP harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Then I understood the depth of their deceit .

Because of the long term persecution at Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp, I was at the brink of a mental breakdown. My blood pressure was as high as 250. I often felt dizzy. Staff at the forced labor camp realized that my life was in danger and were afraid to take any responsibility. On September 30, 2004, they told my family to pick me up and bail me out for medical reasons.

Leaving the CCP

On the evening of September 7, 2005, police officers from the 610 Office in Shenzhen City started another round of persecution. We were warned before the police officers arrived, so we quickly left home. Because they couldn't find us, they searched for us citywide. They set up video cameras on the road and at the exits to and from Shenzhen City in an effort to track us down.

After we left home, we wandered around for nearly two months. We made every effort to get to Thailand. Once in Thailand we went to the UN Refugee Board. We told them the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong in China and our experiences. With their help we escaped the CCP persecution and now live in Norway.

 On September 18, 2006, Ms. Liu Kun, a Falun Gong practitioner who was only 57 years old, passed away. She resided in Hushitai Town in the Xinchengzi District of Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Her death was discussed throughout Hushitai Town and in the Xinchengzi District. A rumor was spread that Ms. Liu died because she refused to go to the hospital for treatment for her illnesses. The following is the real story. The facts reveal who is actually responsible for Ms. Liu's death.

Ms. Liu Kun began to practice Falun Gong in 1997 and became very healthy through the practice. All her family members, friends, and neighbors witnessed the positive changes in her.

Ever since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Ms. Liu has been persecuted by the CCP’s various operational departments, the neighborhood administrative office, and the residential commission. She was forced to fill out all sorts of forms, write reports, have her fingerprints taken, pay fines, and submit her photo. From 2000 to 2002, she was illegally detained in the Longshan Forced Labor Camp and the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province. She was brutally tortured for a long time. Her face and entire body swelled up after being forced to sleep on the cement floor for a long time. She couldn’t open her eyes or mouth. Even her nose was engulfed in the swelling and could not be seen. She also became muddleheaded from the abuse. The labor camp feared that she would die there and released her. The local 610 Office, the political and judiciary committee, the police department, the local police station, the neighborhood administrative office, and the residence commission monitored her by sending all sorts of plainclothes police officers to shadow her. On sensitive dates the police went to her home to harass her. They threatened to take her to brainwashing centers or forced-labor camps. In a brainwashing center, they use all sorts of tactics to force a practitioner to give up his or her belief. Practitioners are not allowed to sleep for a long period of time, are not allowed to go to the bathroom for a long time, are beaten, tortured, and verbally abused. Ms. Liu has been mentally tormented since she was released from the labor camp in June 2002.

After the 2006 Chinese New Year, six or seven people broke into Ms. Liu’s home without showing any identification or disclosing their names. One of them violently threatened her. Ms. Liu was the only one at home at the time. After that, she often saw people hanging around outside her home and following her. No matter where she went, during the day or in the evening, she was followed.

One evening around 9 p.m. in February 2006, she went out for a walk. A woman in her 40s followed her. She pointed a flashlight in Ms. Liu's face and asked, "It’s late. Why are you going out?" When Ms. Liu went to the bus station in the morning, there were always two people taking turns to shadow her.

Under such intense pressure, Ms. Liu Kun often tripped and fell when she walked and several pairs of her pants were tattered. When she felt tired on a walk, she rested on the roadside and dared not go home. Once her old friend called her and asked her to go shopping in Hushitai. Five groups of people shadowed her. (They probably had monitored her phone). Some of them were wearing police uniforms, some were wearing plainclothes.

The Party not only persecuted Liu Kun physically and mentally, but also financially. Her employer withheld her salary between 2000 and 2005. The CCP’s government staff went to her home and fined her 5,000 yuan for no reason and without issuing a receipt. Her financial situation was not very good to begin with and became even worse.

Ms. Liu endured this physical, mental and financial persecution for an extensive period of time, and her health deteriorated. In July 2006, her face and limbs became swollen again, similar to the symptoms she had suffered in the labor camp. The police knocked on her door with all sorts of excuses and peaked at her through her windows. She was under tremendous pressure and her condition worsened.

In August 2006, she couldn’t rise from her bed any more. However, the ones who shadowed her still came in to check on her. She couldn’t even get up to open the door. In her last days, the food she ate and the water she drank all leaked from her nose. The doctor was unable to diagnose her. Medicines and intravenous injections were used to treat her edema without any improvement.

From a medical point of view, one’s mental state has a great impact on one’s health. When one lives in terror, anxiety, despair, and pain for a long period of time, the mental pressure will cause aging and illness. Liu Kun’s health deteriorated exactly for this reason.

Jiang’s regime persecuted Falun Gong and adopted an unscrupulous policy to "ruin their reputations, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically." Liu Kun's story is a solid example of this terrible persecution.

As a result of the senseless persecution, Ms. Liu Kun passed away, leaving behind her mother of over 80 years and a young child.

 On the morning of September 28, 2006, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Goudong of Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province, was illegally arrested from work by police. Officers Zhang Wenguo and Song Yuzhe from Yilan County Police Department and a few others, including Deputy Chief of Wuguocheng Police Station, took Mr. Zhang without a warrant or proper charges and did not inform his family, either. They started collecting evidence only after they had arrested Mr. Zhang, who is now being detained at the No. 2 Detention Center in Yilan County.

Mr. Zhang's family made a request to see him, but the Detention Center said that the police did not allow it. The police department is planning to send him to the 1st Detention Center on fabricated charges.

Mr. Zhang Guodong, 36, is a graduate of the College of Hydraulics in Heilongjiang Province. He is now an assistant engineer with the Hydraulics Bureau of Yilan County. After Mr. Zhang started practicing Falun Gong in 1998, all his illnesses, including neuron headaches, stomach trouble, kidney stones, enteritis, and high blood pressure, disappeared. He became a better person, too. At home he treats his parents better, takes better care of his child, and loves his wife more. At work he holds himself strictly to Falun Gong's principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and exercises strict quality control over the projects for which he is responsible. When people tried to bribe him with money at work, he always refused. His outstanding performances won him praise from both his coworkers and supervisors. However, this good person has been persecuted for the past few years. His home was searched, and he was arrested, fined, and even brutally beaten more than once.

During the first month of the 2000 Chinese New Year, Mr. Zhang was taken from home by policemen led by Deputy Police Chief Long Deqing. Instigated by the guards, inmates beat him in the detention center. More than 20 days after he was arrested, Mr. Zhang was released after he paid a 3,700-yuan (approximately US$450) fine. On May 10, 2002, he was taken away again from work by policemen led by Quan Limin, and his home was searched. This time he was not released until he had been held for more than three months and paid a 2,000-yuan (approximately US$ 250) fine. Now Mr. Zhang has been arrested and detained again on unwarranted charges. His supervisors and family have demanded his release, but the police are refusing, saying that it was the provincial authorities that had ordered the arrest. Mr. Zhang is protesting the persecution with a hunger strike, which is now in its fifth day. He is very weak.

 The Harbin City Women's Prison in Heilongjiang Province is also called the Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison. The wardens there frequently torture practitioners with beatings, physical punishment, electric batons, sleep deprivation, and solitary confinement (putting them in "small cells"). The solitary confinement cell has no window but many handcuffs, shackles and floor rings for torturing people. It is wet and cold in the winter and humid and hot in the summer. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yu Xiulan was put there three times for a total of over six months. Here are some details of her persecution in the prison.

Ms. Yu Xiulan was sent to the Harbin City Women's Prison on June 16, 2003. Because she refused to give up her belief in Falun Gong, the head of the Training Unit, Lv Jinghua; the head of the Patrolling Unit; and three or four male wardens beat her and then locked her in solitary confinement on July 21, 2003. She was only given light corn flour soup twice a day. Her hands were cuffed behind her back all the time and it was very hard for her to lay on the bed that had no bedding at all. She was in pain all over. She was not allowed to change her clothes, nor was she allowed to wash herself.

Ms. Yu then started a hunger strike to protest this inhuman treatment. The wardens cruelly force-fed her, handcuffed her behind her back, and attached the handcuffs to a metal frame. They then asked inmates who had no medical experience to insert an unsterilized plastic tube through her nose into her throat. The tube went to her trachea and almost caused her to suffocate. Then they left the tube in her stomach for many days and force-fed her from six o'clock in the morning to midnight. During the savage force-feeding, they also blasted the radio at its loudest volume to try to further break down her will.

On August 25, 2003, Head Warden of the prison's Second District Yang Hua and Deputy Head Warden Zhao ordered 45 days of physical punishment for Ms. Yu. She was handcuffed behind her back from six or seven o'clock in the morning to midnight and sometimes even two o'clock in the morning. The wardens forced her to squat everyday. After long squatting, her legs were very painful and she could not walk or even stand up. The 45 days of torture caused her feet to swell and develop two big, festering holes.

On December 1, 2003, the wardens from the Second District dragged 25 practitioners who were firm in their belief in Falun Gong to the courtyard and let them stay in the cold. Criminal inmate Xie Cuiping dragged Ms. Yu outside, causing her pants to tear and her legs to bleed. Prison Director Wang Xing gave the order, and the Head Warden and Deputy Head Warden of the Patrolling Unit made both male and female inmates force the practitioners to run. They beat the practitioners if they stopped running. They also cut the practitioners' hair short and rolled up their sleeves to expose their ears and arms to the cold air. Some inmates forced practitioners to lay on the snow. They took off the practitioners' winter coats and left them only in their undershirts and underpants. The weather was 10 below zero Fahrenheit. Even the wardens who wore winter coats got cold if they stayed outside for a while. Just imagine the pain that the practitioners experienced out in the snow in their undershirts for eight or nine hours.

After being left out in the freezing cold, the practitioners were abused during lunch. Only one bowl of rice and one spoon was given to these 25 practitioners. They had to share among themselves. Then they were handcuffed to the floor rings and individually shocked with electric batons. Warden Sun also used the electric baton on Ms. Yu twice. When the practitioners were allowed to return to their rooms, the wardens continued persecuting them. The practitioners were only given dinner half the size of a normal meal and were not allowed to close their eyes to sleep at night.

On December 7, 2003, Ms. Yu's hands turned black due to being exposed to freezing temperatures outside. On December 8, the wardens put Ms. Yu Xiulan in solitary confinement and handcuffed her injured hand so that other people could not see how they tortured practitioners. Ms. Yu was released from solitary confinement on January 16, 2004, but was then put back in on February 10, 2004. This time she was locked there for four months and five days. She had only light corn flour soup twice a day and her hands were cuffed behind her back all the time.

Ms. Yu was put in solitary confinement on May 24, 2005, for the third time. During one force-feeding, when a warden put the mouth-opener in her mouth and inmate Sun Xiuyun held her nose to force-feed her, she kept vomiting. This lasted for over an hour. The evildoers had no medical knowledge and never sterilized the feeding tube. One day the deputy director of the prison, Liu Zhiqiang, went to solitary confinement to see her. Ms. Yu Xiulan told him that she would sue the prison for violating the law preventing abuse of inmates. The next day Liu Zhiqiang arranged to have a warden feed her rice with a small spoon and had a female warden videotape it against Ms. Yu Xiulan's will.

The wardens at the Harbin City Women's Prison encouraged the criminal inmates to beat and verbally abuse practitioners, and also used many instruments of torture on the practitioners. They deceived both top officials and the public, claiming that they managed the prison by humanitarian standards. We appeal to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and international organizations to condemn the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and its violation of human rights, and we urge them to request the immediate release of all illegally imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners and to immediately put an end to the CCP's irrational and brutal persecution.
