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. Originally posted on April 28, 2004 |
