"I left for Scandinavia on Saturday and on the plane home I collected my thoughts and summarised that I had learned a lot of new things. I saw how diligent the practitioners are in Israel and how they take every opportunity to do the work better. They don't give up when they encounter difficulties."

In the police station I was beaten up a number of times but I continued to adhere to Teacher Li’s teachings of being considerate of others in all situations. I continued to tell them the truth of Falun Dafa and some of them listened. They told me that they feel trapped in this job and do not want to treat good people this way, but they have families and bills that must be paid.

The vicious guards gagged me with a hand-towel, tied my hands and arms tightly and lifted them behind my neck. Instructed by guard Zhao Naiwei, eight to nine guards shocked me all over my body with four electric batons. When the electricity was used up, they would recharge the batons and keep shocking me.

In nearly two years of persecution, the police have resorted to all kinds of brutal means to torture him, such as forcing him to stand or squat for long periods of time, using electrical shocks, forced feeding, sleep deprivation and many other kinds of brutal means, trying to force him to betray his belief. The guards at one time instigated a criminal inmate to forcefully stab his ribs with a toothbrush handle, which left painful signs of injury on his body.

They slapped her more than one hundred times, until they all got tired and gasped for breath. They rested for a while and then started punching and kicking her again on her head, neck, ears, chest, and back...Teng's back and buttocks were purple and black, with flesh badly bruised and lacerated. Her chest area was too painful to bear, and her left upper arm was dislocated. Painfully she had to put her arm back in place by herself. The pain from this episode lasted for more than 20 days and she could not lift her arm up at all. Her right upper arm was beaten so badly that her hand lost much of its strength

On the morning of November 6, 2002, the Mayor of the City of Chicago and the City Council unanimously passed a Falun Gong resolution to condemn the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong.

"The reason people do this is to prohibit the spread of knowledge and ideas and information, which is one of the greatest weapons against oppression and intolerance." [Carol Guthrie, spokeswoman for Democratic Senator Ron Wyden]

I have practiced Falun Dafa for several years, and I run a small restaurant in a North American city. I have often had copies of Dafa books sitting on the bar in view of many customers, yet for a long time, it was as if most of them never saw the books. If they did see them, they never expressed much interest in knowing what they were, or what they were all about. Until recently, that is.

On an extremely hot and dry day, I arrived at the Houston airport the afternoon of October 17, 2002, and went directly to the area surrounding the residential compound of the Chinese Consulate [where the staff of the consulate live], where I met with four other practitioners from Sydney.

Since Teacher Li's new article "Hurry Up And Tell Them" was published, in a city of northern China, Dafa practitioners spread flyers, clarified the truth, and pasted and hung banners more than ten-meters long with the words "Falun Dafa is good!"
