Clarify the Truth to Society: The Chicago Chinese Community Holds Falun Gong Incident Forum
On the afternoon of December 16, Chicago Chinese Haihua Association and Central American New Culture Center cosponsored a Falun Gong Incident Forum in Chicago Chinatown. The forum was co-hosted by Mr. Zhang Zhengrong, the president of the Haihua Association and CEO of the Central US Chinese News, and Mr. Jared May, Advisor of the New Culture Center. Many leaders of the local Chinese community and Falun Gong practitioners, including Mr. John Nania who was among the 36 western practitioners who appealed in Tiananmen Square, attended the discussion forum.
Police in Heilongjiang Province Threaten a Dafa Practitioner's Child: If We Can't Find Your Father, We Will Torture You to Death
(Clearwisdom.net) On November 9, 2001, at around 6:00 pm, 3 men, who claimed to be policemen from the Qingdong Police Station in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, were banging on the door of a resident's home where Xiao Chao, a student in middle school lived. Under the police threats, Xiao Chao had to open the door. After the 3 policemen went inside the house, policeman A compelled Xiao Chao's grandparents to them to tell where Xiao Chao's father was. (Xiao Chao's mother was illegally put into labor camp because of going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong last year; his father was forced to leave the house because of his persistence in practicing Falun Gong. Xiao Chao was the only person left in the house. The elderly grandparents couldn't help other than to come every once in a while and to supply some rice or noodles etc. for him.) The other two policemen took Xiao Chao to the Qingdong Police Station, saying that they had some questions to ask. After getting to the police station, Yang Bingqi, a political instructor of the station asked Xiao Chao: "Where is your father?" Xiao Chao said that he didn't know. Then, the evil policeman A, who had just returned said: "If you don't tell where your father is, we'll give you a little taste of the electric baton. If you get killed, no one will know. We'll also let you taste the flavor of swallowing nails. And if you die, we'll say that you died from voluntarily eating the nails."
A Teenage Dafa Practitioner: Enduring All Kinds of Brutal Tortures, I Still Didn't Write a Single Word Against Dafa
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a 16-year-old middle school student. Falun Dafa taught me the true meaning of life. After July 22nd, 1999 [the day the national anti-Falun Gong campaign began], I used various ways to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to many people, and went to Beijing to appeal in October 2000. On Tiananmen Square, the police tried to force me to curse Dafa. As I firmly refused, they took me away by force and later transferred me to the No. 2 Detention Center. Throughout my detention I refused to write anything harmful to Dafa, such as the "guarantee letter," "repentance letter" or other statements. (These letters would guarantee that the person will no longer practice Dafa or go to Beijing to appeal and also that they are sorry they ever practiced Dafa). As a result, I was illegally detained for almost 10 months. I was released only after the corrupt guards extorted a large amount of money from my family and confiscated all the valuable things in my home.
