Preface: I am a third year undergraduate. In February 2001, the school said that I would only be allowed to go back to school if I wrote a guarantee to stop practicing Falun Dafa and “expose” Falun Gong.
Sydney(FDI)- Since March 1st, the deaths of 53 Falun Gong practitioners from torture and mistreatment in the hands of Chinese authorities have been reported. This is the largest number of confirmed deaths to be reported in a three-week time period since the persecution began in July 1999.
For more than three years, the Falun Dafa Information Center has received — on a daily basis — dozens of reports of arbitrary detention, forced-labor, extortion, torture, death and other forms of persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in China.
When Dafa practitioners lost consciousness from being beaten, guards instigated the inmates to pour water mixed with instant noodle seasoning and hot pepper into their noses.
In the 12 days from the first to the 12th of March, reports of 38 deaths due to persecution have come from China. None of these practitioners had the benefit of any legal procedures.

35-year-old Ms. Li Huiqi was tortured for two months in a Chinese Labor Camp, leaving her paralyzed and emaciated.
She was arrested when she went to Tiananmen Square alone. Because she was registered as living in Shiyan, she was immediately sent to Xiajiadian Labour Camp (a rehabilitation centre) in Shiyan, Wuhan City.
After the Province “researched” the case, they concluded that Xiong’s cause of death was lung perforation, which was completely inconsistent with the report of Xiong’s autopsy and the many bruises and injuries evident on Xiong’s body.
Each time we publish news of this nature, we do so with heavy hearts. These people started off as public servants, but under the intense pressure applied by the Jiang regime, they were pushed into persecuting Dafa disciples.
