The persecution is still occurring. We ask people with a kind heart and sense of justice to pay close attention to events like these. Please also help collect evidence and the information of those involved. The information will be forwarded to the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) for further verification and to bring the evildoers to justice.
