It appears that they are treated horrifically by the Chinese Communist Party. Falun Gong was founded in the 1990s as a Buddhist sect, and it grew rapidly. The CCP doesn't tolerate ideological rivals or power structures it doesn't control, so it banned them and propagandised them as an evil and dangerous cult, which is how they're widely seen in China today. Hundreds of thousands have been detained, and thousands have died in custody. There are reports of widespread organ harvesting:
Lavee describes how his attitude changed dramatically when a patient told him he was travelling to China for a scheduled heart transplant. This idea was shocking to Lavee, because the circumstances of death that allow heart donation cannot be predicted.

The CCP claimed that they stopped using organs forcibly taken from prisoners in 2015, but not everybody is convinced by that claim.
Overall, they are treated as inhuman. There's also the photo on the Wikipedia page for cattle prods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_prod https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_prod
- throwaway92411 8y agoHere is a Time Magazine interview with the founder of Falun Gong. > TIME: In your book [Zhuan Falun] you talk about people levitating off the ground but you say that they should not show other people. Why is that? > Li: It is the same principle that Western gods in paradise should not be seen by ordinary mortals because they cannot understand its meaning. > TIME: Have you seen human beings levitate off the ground? > Li: I have known too many. > TIME: Would you use qigong to cure an illness? > Li: I can do all of this, but I won't do it. > TIME: Why not? > Li: Because I only teach people how to learn this dafa [great law] and to practice cultivation. I only teach the principles of fa to mankind. I won't do anything else. He also talks about how aliens have come to Earth, > TIME: Where do they come from? > Li: The aliens come from other planets. The names that I use for these planets are different . Some are from dimensions that human beings have not yet discovered. The key is how they have corrupted mankind. Everyone knows that from the beginning until now, there has never been a development of culture like today. Although it has been several thousand years, it has never been like now. > The aliens have introduced modern machinery like computers and airplanes. They started by teaching mankind about modern science, so people believe more and more science, and spiritually, they are controlled. Everyone thinks that scientists invent on their own when in fact their inspiration is manipulated by the aliens. In terms of culture and spirit, they already control man. Mankind cannot live without science. > The ultimate purpose is to replace humans. If cloning human beings succeeds, the aliens can officially replace humans. Why does a corpse lie dead, even though it is the same as a living body? The difference is the soul, which is the life of the body. If people reproduce a human person, the gods in heaven will not give its body a human soul. The aliens will take that opportunity to replace the human soul and by doing so they will enter earth and become earthlings. > When such people grow up, they will help replace humans with aliens. They will produce more and more clones. There will no longer be humans reproduced by humans. They will act like humans, but they will introduce legislation to stop human reproduction.

- wincy 8y agoIf the US was jailing and murdering Scientologists for their organs, I’d be pretty mad. This is awful, the Falun Gong are human, and this should be condemned, regardless of what they believe.
- ardy42 8y agoIt's disgusting that you'd offer such a comment in response to credible reports about forced organ donation. That the victims' leader holds silly beliefs in no way justifies, excuses, or even explains their murder by the authorities in the slightest. All it can be is a distraction from a deliberate horror.
- wincy 8y agoWow, tough to read but thank you for bringing this to my attention. It’s really awful Western countries just put up with it because they’re afraid of offending China. Not even the Soviets thought to make such use of the millions of people they executed.
