Falun Gong practitioners participate by doing exercises to music while meditating on truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. I have read the texts and have found them to have a virtuous intent. The Chinese government has put in jail thousands of members of this virtuous group that has millions of followers worldwide. The Chinese government would have the world believe that 15 Falun Gong women committed suicide on June 20, 2001 at the Wanjia labor camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. This story is not believable.

Reason: There is video evidence of the assault by police on Falun Gong members as well as photo evidence of torture by prison authorities throughout China, all authorized by the President of China.

A crime against humanity: Zhang Yulan, 55 years old, Shao Ying, 33, Zhao Yayun, 54 Li Xiuquin were tortured and murdered by labor camp guards. Their organs may have been sold by the labor camp system to foreigners for $30,000.00US This practice has been proven by The Guardian weekly newspaper. The labor camps supply all the dead prisoners for this criminal activity. These ladies all died on June 20, 2001 along with at least 11 others. Lixiuqin and 2 others were cremated so the evidence of torture would not be seen. Some ashes were given to the families. The police say: "The higher authorities have said that beating Falun Gong practitioners to death counts as suicide. We are not to identify the bodies and are to cremate them locally." These lovely ladies have sacrificed themselves to protect their virtue. China believes it can murder virtue.

Virtue cannot be murdered.

Long live their souls and their virtue.
