Non-practitioner: My Sister Died as a Result of Persecution - In Memory of My Sister Li Xuelian on the 100th Day after Her Death
2004-05-03
"It has been one hundred days since my sister died. Apart from the sorrow, I am full of indignation. My family members have been ruined or have died.

2004-05-02"I am 66 years old, and am a resident of Henan Province. Because I practise Falun Gong police arrested me several times and then harassed my family.

2004-05-01In September 2000, during an exclusive interview with Mike Wallace on CBS' "60 Minutes", Jiang made irresponsible remarks and invented stories about Falun Gong.

However, he dared not state these lies publicly in China where Falun Gong was widely known and liked by over 100 million people of all levels of society.
