Authorities in Jinan Force Imprisoned Practitioners to Paint False Picture of Falun Gong for Kofi Annan and US President Bush

(Clearwisdom.net) During the time of the 2002 United Nation Human Rights Convention, Shang Jinggong, 40 year old chairwoman of Jinan City "Anti Cult Association" and chairwoman of Jinan City Science Association, led her subordinates into every forced labor camp in Shandong province. They were looking for prisoners who had renounced their practice of Falun Gong under the coercive pressures of the persecution. Promising them reduced sentences, Shang and her subordinates had them write letters to Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations and US President Bush, requiring them to say that practicing Falun Gong had been to their detriment, and they had come to see that Falun Gong was like the Chinese government said it was, and so forth.

Shang Jinggong took paper and envelopes with her for the former practitioners to write these letters. She collected the letters and sent them. One of the prisoners, an English teacher from Shanghe County, Jinan Province wrote a letter in English to President Bush. He received a reduction in the length of his sentence and was appointed as a team leader in the forced labor camp as a reward.
