CCP authorities declared Mr. Wu committed suicide, but witnesses at his apartment building and at the hospital where he died, tell a different story. Wu had previously worked with the CCP as an informant, but then reaffirmed his dedication to Falun Gong. He had recently refused to cooperate further with the Party. His family and others aware of these details cannot get the police and justice system to pay any attention to them, in fact the police demand conformity with the 'official' story.

Clearwisdom.net and its Chinese-language sister-website (minghui.ca) provide first-hand reports about the horrors of the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Dozens of reports are received every day from the victims of torture, the wrongfully imprisoned, and families crippled by the senseless hardship and grief for their loved ones imposed by the persecution. In contrast, the websites also report positive news and events from the more than 80 countries around the world where Falun Gong is practiced, and serve as an online forum for practitioners to share stories of the good things Falun Gong has brought to their lives.
