(Clearwisdom.net) As the head of Guangdong Province, Huang Huahua led a delegation to visit Taiwan on August 16, 2010. Falun Gong practitioners filed a lawsuit against Huang Huahua with the Taiwan High Prosecutor's Office that same afternoon. We, a number of Falun Gong practitioners from Guangdong Province, are the direct victims of the persecution perpetrated by Huang, and would like to provide some facts.

Guangzhou is one of the cities where the persecution of Falun Gong has been most severe. Huang Huahua was Guangzhou Party committee deputy head, Party secretary and also the head of the Guangzhou 610 Office between 1999 and 2002. Under his tenure, the persecution became extremely severe.

Since 2002, Huang Huahua has been standing vice governor, and one of the main responsible parties in the persecution of Falun Gong in Guangdong Province.

The brutal persecution has lasted for over eleven years. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using the Asian Games in Guangzhou, scheduled to take place between November 12 and 27, 2010, to worsen the persecution. As of the end of July 2010, more than 100 practitioners from Guangzhou are being detained.

1. Persecution attributed to Huang Huahua, based on official information and media reports

In spite of the CCP's tightly controlled information blockage, we have discovered several official materials and media reports that provide evidence of Huang Huahua's severe persecution of Falun Gong in Guangzhou. We would like to point out, however, that the CCP's media reports and official materials are filtered, and there are many pieces of information missing.

(1) According to the official and public data, by the end of July 2002, 464 Falun Gong practitioners had been held in the Guangzhou City Forced Labor Camp. In December 2005, according to Chen Weixiong, director of the Guangzhou Provincial Department of Justice, at least 2,460 practitioners were once held in the Guangzhou Province Forced Labor system. Considering that the CCP revealed this information when CCP officials were trying to cover up the persecution, the actual numbers of incarcerated Falun Gong practitioners are likely much higher. In 2003 alone, 1,099 Falun Gong practitioners were held in the Guangdong Province Women's Education Center (presently the Guangdong Women's Forced Labor Camp) [according to Sanshui Yearbook 2004]. At the end of 2003 there were 153 practitioners detained.

(2) Huang Huahua visited Chatou Forced Labor Camp and the Guangzhou City "Legal Education School," to inspect "education and reformation" work on the afternoon of May 29, 2001. He declared that he would put all practitioners who persist in their belief into brainwashing centers, in order to transform them. He ordered the support of all related organizations, including human, financial and material resources. (Source: Guangzhou Daily Dayang Website, May 30, 2001)

(3) Huang Huahua emphasized during the legal leading group meeting in Guangzhou City on the afternoon on April 4, 2002 that Guangzhou would "fight" with Falun Gong, "maintain the stability of the society," and welcome the 16th National Party Congress.

(4) Huang Huahua's speech to the City Party Propaganda Department Conference in 2002 stated: "Need to fully recognize that the struggle with Falun Gong is a prolonged, complicated and arduous task and need to continue to deeply develop the struggle of 'exposing and criticizing' Falun Gong."

2. At Least 18 facilities participate in the persecution of Falun Gong in Guangzhou City and Guangzhou Province (excluding detention centers and lockups)
