Self-description: "The Falun Dafa Information Center is a volunteer group of individuals dedicated to bringing you up to the minute information regarding the persecution against the peaceful practitioners of Falun Gong in China, and also serves as a watchdog group for illegal activities of the Chinese government as it seeks to carry out its illegal persecution overseas. [...]
Since the leader of China, Jiang Zemin, began the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in 1999: 100 million people practiced Falun Gong in 1998, but lost that right when Jiang banned it in 1999. Hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been illegally arrested and detained. More than 500 have been sentenced to prison terms of up to 18 years. More than 1,000 have been forced into mental hospitals, an act condemned by World Psychiatric Association. Over 100,000 have been illegally sent to labor camps without trials. At least 572 deaths through police torture have been confirmed, with government sources inside China disclosing that the actual number exceeds 1,600. "
