"Drain their money, Break their spirit, Destroy their body"

Local officials in Jiangxi Province are now losing their humanity under Jiang Zemin's pressure. Whoever says they are going to practice Falun Gong is put into "transformation classes". The cost is to be paid by the practitioners, of course. The least expensive boarding fee is around 50 Yuan per day (translator's note: Yuan, Chinese dollar, the monthly salary of an average worker in cities of China is about 500 Yuan). Fees for renting conference rooms are also charged to the practitioners. Only when a practitioner has made a written promise not to practice Falun Gong and has criticized Falun Gong, can he go home. Otherwise, after some time in the class he will be sent to a labor camp. Nowadays, many enterprises in Jiangxi Province are in a slump. Most Falun Gong practitioners have been caused significant hardship by the illegal fines. Some are financially ruined. How can people already living in poverty withstand such unreasonable extortion? Meanwhile, those who have relatives practicing Falun Gong are also going to lose their jobs. For example, if someone's parents were practicing Falun Gong, their sons and daughters, together with their spouses, would lose their jobs. If sons and daughters were practicing, their father and mother would lose their jobs. The relatives are not only forbidden to practice Falun Gong, they are required to fight against Falun Gong. Even so, some still could not keep their jobs. Relatives are required to cooperate unconditionally with this inhumane way of transformation. This is the so-called "human rights", "freedom of belief", and "transformation". It is ridiculous. This is what the local officials have been doing in order to please Jiang Zemin and keep their positions. They dare to go against the fundamental conscience of a human being and tread on the basic rights of citizens.

They are actually following the evil instructions of Jiang Zemin in dealing with Falun Dafa practitioners: "Drain their money, Break their spirit, Destroy their body". Even Hitler would feel small in comparison. Qin Shihuang (translator's note: the first emperor in Chinese history who united the kingdoms in China and built the Great Wall) would reconsider his reign seeing the injustices committed by Jiang and his minions. Is a man like Jiang fit to be the General Secretary of Chinese Communist Party? Is he fit to be the President of China? It is a tragedy for the Party and a misfortune for our country. Officials in nearly all levels of Jiangxi Province said that if they didn't do things as I have described, then they will lose their jobs. It is Jiang Zemin who has driven them to such inhumanity.

Many Practitioners Held Captive

There are many practitioners held captive in prisons, labor camps and other institutions. Among them are many who were arrested while onboard trains bound for Beijing. They are now on hunger strikes to protest their illegal imprisonment. But this hasn't touched the consciences of the guards. Instead, the hunger strikers receive more severe torture and violent beatings. Their lives are very much at risk.

I appeal to international organizations and all the people in the world who have the right sense of justice: Please offer your hand and help the practitioners whose lives are in danger.

The practitioners are such kind souls that they wouldn't even hurt the tiniest living things. They won't tell lies or make false statements even under the most vicious torture. With such pure hearts, could they be a threat to the stability of the nation? I dearly hope that Jiang Zemin will not go so far in saving face that he puts hundreds of thousands more people in misery, dismantling their families.
