  • Shenzhen Government Actively Involved in the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Overseas

    Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its unprecedented persecution of Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, practitioners from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas have travelled to China to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. Shenzhen is one of the most internationally connected Chinese cities, as the Shenzhen seaport is a major harbour. The CCP created a blacklist of Falun Gong practitioners from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and uses the blacklist to identify and arrest practitioners who enter the country in Shenzhen, confiscating home return permits, as well as deporting, arresting and detaining practitioners. They even take practitioners to their notorious forced labour camps, imprison them and put them in brainwashing centres.
