China: Falun Gong

Friend Gram at Holidarity links to a recent Reuters story which takes a look at the Singapore-based publication Epoch Times’ claim of the existence of a Falun Gong “concentration camp” in northern China.

“Epoch Times,” says Gram, “is deeply Falun Gong, and is committed to the belief that the Chinese government is ‘evil’ – something that rings more true of the Mao era than today, but this is a difference they hardly recognize. If this concentration camp story is true, international outcry will be warranted.’
