(Clearwisdom.net) According to a report of FTV, more than 2,600 Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted to death since the brutal persecution started in July 1999, resulting in many broken families and orphans. Below is the report from FTV:

The Taiwan Falun Dafa Association rallied today to call upon the Chinese Communism regime to release 255 orphans of Falun Gong practitioners.

Wearing raincoats and standing in the rain, Taiwan practitioners wanted to send a strong protest message to the CCP.

Mr. Huang Guohua, who fled from China, said that his wife was arrested [and later killed] by a gang of police for her belief in Falun Gong. The horrible memory is still fresh in his mind.

Since the CCP started to suppress Falun Gong illegally in 1999, to date [July 2005], more than 2600 Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted to death, resulting in countless broken families. Many innocent children have become orphans because their parent(s) have been arrested or have disappeared for practicing Falun Gong.

Mrs. Li, who used to live in Mainland China and practice Falun Gong, said that she felt so lucky that she had been able to leave. She said that otherwise, she would have been persecuted by the CCP.
