Persecution Hotspots Amidst Beijing Olympics
New Interactive Beijing Map Shows Proximity of Olympic Venues to Hotspots of Wrongful Imprisonment, Torture, and Death
DID YOU KNOW that just a short distance from many Olympic venues are prisons and detention centers where prisoners of conscience are routinely tortured, sometimes to death. With tens of millions of people across China practicing the Buddhist-based Falun Gong, many of these prisoners are Falun Gong practitioners.
In fact, at the same time Olympic events are held this month, these innocent people scattered throughout the Beijing area are confined and languish in these prisons and detention centers.
The proximity of Olympic glory to this terrible human suffering yet again highlights the tragic and often deceptive rule of the Chinese Communist Party.
The Falun Dafa Information Center has combined its research and resources into a comprehensive map displaying the relative proximity of Olympic venues to persecution hotspots, allowing you a glimpse inside the places the Chinese Communist Party does not want you to see.
With tens of millions of people practicing Falun Gong across China, the violent campaign to “eradicate” the practice has devastated the lives of millions. Several million have been detained or imprisoned by the CCP. This map captures just a few facilities in the Beijing area.
While there are thousands of prisons, detentions centers, black jails, and other facilities for detaining people across China, the following are some details of just a few that are closest to the Olympic venues around Beijing.

Persecution of Falun Gong Intensifies Ahead of Winter Olympics
With the Winter Olympics in Beijing fast approaching, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has begun yet another round of campaigns of what the Party calls “maintaining social stability.” Falun Gong practitioners in the three Games zones of Beijing, Yanqing (a rural District in Beijing), and Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province have especially been targeted.
