  • Slovakia: Summer Tour to Introduce Falun Dafa and Expose the Persecution

    With the completion of the annual Slovakian nationwide summer tour to introduce Falun Dafa and expose the persecution of the practice in China, I have returned to my home with sunburn.

  • Germany: Prisoners as Living Organ Bank

    The Chinese government is accused of abominable crimes. It is accused of harvesting organs from imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners. This results in the death of these people.

In April the body of a retired elementary teacher from the Guizhou and that of her cousins was found. Both Falun Gong practitioners had not returned from a trip to the mountains. Months later their dead bodies were found. The police said in their report that the cause of death was “Suicide.”
