A little background...
For more than five years in China, participants in one of the largest grassroots campaigns of civil disobedience the world has ever known have quietly informed fellow citizens about the systematic persecution of Falun Gong practitioners unfolding in their own backyards.

At great risk to themselves, Falun Gong practitioners in China have also continued to provide the outside world with another first: Daily, eyewitness reports from inside China’s forced labor camp system, prisons, and detention centers. These reports -- the most comprehensive collection of which can be found on Minghui Net or in English at clearwisdom.net -- also illustrate how former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin has tied the Falun Gong issue into virtually every aspect of society, from job applications to college examinations, from promotions in the military to elementary school “anti-Falun Gong sessions.” Throughout society, all must “show the correct attitude” towards Falun Gong before securing a job, getting a promotion, or advancing in school.

Such information provides an in-depth look at how the persecution of Falun Gong affects the Chinese people, the Chinese nation, and the international community. Although Jiang has allocated significant resources to control the flow of such information, particularly outside China (in 2002,Reporters Without Borders ranked China second to last — edged out only by North Korea for the bottom spot — on its press freedom index), these reports give accounts of what is actually happening to Falun Gong practitioners.

Utilizing emails, websites, faxes, payphones, and other means, individuals throughout China have courageously reported on a wide range of stories. They’ve collected facts on large-scale police actions, on secret government orders, on police who have tortured and killed, and even on local authorities in some regions who have come to understand Falun Gong and no longer carry out persecution orders.

Who are we?
The Falun Dafa Information Center (aka Falun Dafa InfoCenter or FDI) endeavors to compile, cross-check, organize and publish these reports. They are provided to government officials, international media, human rights organizations, and the general public. We accomplish this through email alerts, weekly newsletters, press briefings, print publications and our official website: www.faluninfo.net.

Reports from FDI then feed into the international media and human rights bodies, who are frequently able to verify the factual details independently.

FDI’s operations are carried out entirely by volunteers. FDI’s publications are available at cost to individuals who feel the need to expose the well-hidden truth of the persecution in China. These individuals contribute their time and their resources to make it possible.

FDI's editorial team, also consisting entirely of volunteers, includes professionals, students, business owners, and scientists. The work is done in a collaborative manner spanning multiple countries, with a close watch on adhering to one main goal: to report, as accurately as possible, on the persecution of Falun Gong in China as well as significant Falun Gong-related news and events from around the world.

Many in China have undertaken great risks to provide information to the world about what is happening inside China. We hope that we have organized and presented this information in a way that does justice to their courageous efforts. We also encourage you, our readers, to send us your suggestions or questions.
