Overseas News

On June 8, "Athletes Meet Foreign Workers" opened at Tianan Secondary School in Korea. Korean Falun Dafa practitioners demonstrated the exercises at the opening ceremony. Athletes from various countries listened to the beautiful music and imitated the movements. By the beginning of the third set of the exercises, the delegates were able to move in time with the Falun Dafa practitioners.

June 7 is the date of the annual fair in Winchester, Massachusetts. We went to our booth and started to clarify the truth. Ordinary American people were very concerned about American citizen Dr. Charles Li who is being persecuted by the Jiang's regime. They took the materials as soon as they read the headlines. Many booth owners also took our materials. We met one elderly gentleman from China who gladly took many Chinese pamphlets and CDs.

Persecution Facts

Falun Dafa practitioner Gong Fangli from Huadian City, Jilin Province was sentenced to a forced labor camp for one year, for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. He is being held at Jinlin City Huanxiling Forced Labor Camp. The police there torture the practitioners physically and mentally. They use loudspeakers, hard labor, and electronic batons to persecute the practitioners and force them to watch videos that defame Falun Dafa and Master Li. They also brought in collaborators [translator's note: former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing and torture] to spread misinformation to mislead practitioners.

On June 5, the local 610 Office in Suining City, Sichuan Province methodically harassed all practitioners in the city. Cai Bin from Daying County was kidnapped and his home was ransacked. Practitioners Long Xiaofang, Yu Jinhua, Mo Chengxun, and Mo Chengfu also had their homes ransacked. Long Xiaofang and Mo Chengxun have been forced to leave home to avoid further persecution.
