I'll have to go find it. It was sent to me via email by a contingent of Falun Gong practitioners in the UK who are on an awareness raising tour. What I found most troubling were some of the reports and evidence gathered by Canadians (don't know why, they are at the forefront of this one) Amnesty and the Human Rights Watch.
I also met a couple of women who are over here in hiding. Their stories were difficult to listen to. You would think listening to someone say their story in chinese whilst an interpreter translates chunks at a time, would create a distance, make it easier to hear. It didn't. I sat there and looked into the eyes of this 65 year old Chinese lady and heard her tale.
Heard of the five years she spent in hiding, in appaling conditions, with no heating (think how cold a chinese winter can get) and no water supply, just sneaking out every so often to get the things she and her husband needed, risking arrest each time. I'll not go into the whole tale.
I'll dig out the info for you 3foot. But it'll be tomorrow, it's probably on the computer at the Town Hall.
