Ms. Tan's death is indicative of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) carries out its policy to “destroy them [Falun Gong practitioners] physically."

Officials Suspected of Murdering Ms. Lin Lingmei 14 Years Ago
2014-04-21Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Lin Linmei died in May 2000 in Beijing, where she appealed for her right to practise Falun Gong. Officials claimed that she had committed suicide, yet we are suspicious that this is not the real cause of her death. For that reason, it is being brought up 14 years after her death. In particular, because of known facts about the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over the past 14 years, the claims by the Chinese officials should not be taken at face value. -
