The Italian Asia News Agency Discloses the CCP's New Wave of Persecution Against Falun Gong


(Clearwisdom.net) According to a report by the Italian Asia News Agency on the 26th of April, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has adopted the largest-scale police action since 1999 to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP has arrested many Falun Gong practitioners in Shandong, Jiangxi, Sichuan provinces and Inner Mongolia.

According to the report, Amnesty International revealed the situation to the outside world while supporting Falun Gong. Last month, Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yawen was arrested for distributing material and has been missing ever since.

The report stated that on April 25, 1999, over 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners held a peaceful petition in Beijing to protest the violation of their human rights. In July 1999, then PRC President Jiang Zemin launched a large-scale, brutal persecution of the Falun Gong movement. At that time, there were about 100 million Falun Gong practitioners in China. Since then, the persecution and vilification of Falun Gong have continued and Falun Gong practitioners have been arrested, imprisoned, beaten and many have been killed.

The report said that from July 1999 to April 2005, a total of 1,880 Falun Gong practitioners, whose names and background are identified, have died as a result of the persecution. According to our understanding, the actual number might be much higher, the number of deaths is nationally classified information and those who reveal it risk being arrested. Hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been detained many families were arrested together; more than 200,000 people were forced into labor education without trial. Many were checked into mental institutions to undergo sinister brainwashing and even medication detrimental to their nervous systems is forcibly administered to them.
