  • Private Prisons Set up in China to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners (Photo)

    While former Chinese president Jiang Zemin was still in office, he abused his power and huge proportion of China's national resources to build private prisons to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. These prisons were usually set up secretly. Now, almost every county and city in the nation has such prisons. The "610 Office" is directly in charge of these prisons, whereas judicial and legal departments often administer regular prisons. Such private prisons are often mislabeled as "Legal System Education Classes" to deceive the public.

    "I have been disabled since being tortured by police in 2002. Besides having been personally caused great mental and physical harm, the persecution against me has also greatly pained and burdened my family and friends, especially my mother.

And now, as an added burden, she has to face the horror repeating itself, with her son becoming disabled as a result of police torture, simply for practising Falun Dafa. Her anguish and suffering are hard to describe."
