Like tens of millions of Chinese, Snow Rose practiced Falun Gong (aka Falun Dafa), an ancient spiritual practice based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. She was detained when Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the crackdown of Falun Gong. Her suspicious death in police custody raised a lot of questions.

At the beginning of 2020, a major epidemic (Wuhan pneumonia) of the CCP virus (new coronavirus) broke out in mainland China. Despite causing a man-made global pandemic, the CCP has still not stopped harvesting live organs. The WOIPFG continued to conduct telephone investigations on mainland medical staff suspected of harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners, and obtained a batch of new evidence and leads.

In September 2016, the Sound of Hope Radio Station invited Mr. Wang Zhiyuan, president of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), to a talk show about the proposed U.S. House Resolution 343 which  demanded an end to the live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners. Mr. Lu Shuheng, a former Shanghai native residing in California, called the studio while the program was on air. He indicated that he would like to expose the crime of live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Zhao Leji was part of the persecution campaign during Jiang Zemin’s tenure and during the time when Zeng Qinghong was the head of CCP’s Central Organization Department.

During their tenures, Wu Yanjun, president of the Intermediate Court of Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, and Ni Kai, vice president of the Second Criminal Court, illegally sentenced Falun Gong practitioners. Without clear proof, enough evidence, or direct witnesses, Falun Gong practitioners were illegally sentenced based on subjective judgments or even personal preferences.

Since July 1999, government officials in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province have closely followed Jiang Zemin's directive of persecuting Falun Gong. Shijiazhuang City officials have illegally arrested, detained, and tortured many Falun Gong practitioners. They forcefully “brainwash” the practitioners and have sent many to forced labor camps. Shijiazhuang City is one of the cities with the most severe persecution of Faun Gong. According to incomplete statistics, between January 2001 and March 2005, in Shijiazhuang City, at least 49 practitioners died as a result of torture and mistreatment.

During the worst years of the persecution in Sichuan Province, Yan Zhenggang personally authored reports that denigrated, slandered, and fabricated lies against Falun Gong, and ordered his reports be publicized to all parts of Sichuan Province. Yan Zhenggang also ordered all television stations in each city and county of Sichuan Province to arrange for locals who were mentally challenged, terminally ill, or convicted murderers, to falsely portray themselves as Falun Gong practitioners in order to make video programs of these fake Falun Gong practitioners.

From 2001 to 2004, Su Denglin served successively as Deputy Director of the 610 Office, Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Director of the Comprehensive Management Office of Beibei District, Chongqing City. During his tenure, Su Denglin incited local organizations, factories and other businesses to report known Falun Gong practitioners to the authorities, which would lead to abduction and persecution. He ordered officials from the public security bureau, as well as the prosecutive, legislative, and judiciary divisions, to harass and persecute prectitioners.

When Liu Zhitian was the mayor of Macheng City and secretary of Macheng City’s CCP Committee, at least ten Falun Gong practitioners had been persecuted to death. More practitioners had been kidnapped and illegally detained and countless were extorted.
