In 1998, China’s state-controlled TV openly promotes Falun Gong, declaring “100 million people around the world are learning Falun Dafa.”

How do you get over a billion people to believe a lie that they know is a lie? And if they don’t really believe the lie… How do you strike such fear into them that they become so petrified, they wont question it or even speak about it…? That’s the exact question the propaganda department of the Chinese communist party was trying to answer about Falun Gong in the summer of 1999, and their conclusion unleashed a brutal persecution affecting tens of millions of people.

In an attempt to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners in China, the Chinese Communist party resorts to brutal torture to try to brainwash victims to renounce their spiritual faith. This is a personal account from Chen Gang who was tortured for 18 months in Tuanhe, Beijing in a Chinese prison. He escaped China and is currently living in the United States.

On January 23, 2001, the day before the Chinese Lunar New Year, it was reported that five people set themselves on fire in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China. A week later, the Chinese government television station, CCTV, broadcast a program showing a video of the incident, but in the video, the number of victims was increased from five to seven. Several Chinese State-run newspapers said that the closeup shots in the video was taken from the videotape confiscated from CNN, in order to answer the question why the government could videotape the details of the incident in such a short time if it was not a staged event. In the program, CCTV also broadcast the heartbreaking pictures of the 12-year-old Liu Siying, who was severely burned. Her mother Liu Chunling died from the self-immolation. The government utilized this incident to intensify its campaign against Falun Gong by forcing every citizen to sign a form condemning Falun Gong. By using the pictures of Liu Siying to foment the public’s hatred towards Falun Gong, the government hoped to justify the long-lasting violent crackdown against Falun Gong.

Tens of millions of people who practice Falun Gong in China today remain at risk of wrongful detainment, torture, and death in custody. During the first half of 2019 alone 45 practitioners lost their lives after being persecuted for not renouncing their faith in Falun Gong. Those were just the cases we know about. Here are a few of their stories… What is Falun Gong? https://faluninfo.net/what-is-falun-gong-2/ Why is Falun Gong Persecuted in China? https://faluninfo.net/why-persecution/ How Can I Help? https://faluninfo.net/act-now
