What is the Persecution of Falun Gong?

Genocide.

On July 20, 1999, approximately 8% of the entire population in China became "illegal" persons by virtue of their beliefs. Thousands are believed dead, hundreds of thousands rendered homeless, tortured or thrown into forced-labor camps. Chinese police have standing orders to use any means necessary to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners as Jiang aims to -- in his own words -- "eradicate Falun Gong. "

The Communist Party must vanquish Falun Gong... How could it be possible that the Marxist theory we endorse and the materialism and atheism that we believe in can't vanquish what Falun Gong propagates? If it were true, wouldn't we become laughing stocks?

Jiang Zemin
Excerpt from an April 25, 1999 letter to senior Communist Party officials

 

Jiang Zemin individually made this decision... [He] went against many other people in his own politburo who did not want to do this to the Falun Gong, some of whom even practiced the Falun Gong or had relatives who practiced the Falun Gong. So we need to hold him accountable.
