This appears to be an ongoing story; if just a small part of it is true, that is bad enough, I came across it myself.
The Epoch Times must be the newspaper of the Falun Gong; but in one of the stories, the writer states he/she is not a member of the Falun Gong.
I could be mistaken, but think it is fair to call it a dissident "expatriot" newspaper...and hence strongly associated with one of the largest indigenous persecuted groups in China. They likely have a wide range of dissidents...but, consistent with the proportion of dissidents overall, manifesting a preponderance of the issues of Falun Gong folks.
I'm trying to remember when Deng Xiopeng instigated the mass persecutions against Falun Gong. The scuttlebutt was that the head of Falun Gong had 10,000 of his followers rendezvous at, and surrounded, Deng Xiouping's summer home in the hills west of Beijing. Deng went out to take stroll on "his" property....and was given the shock of his life.
E.g., Scared the bejeebers out of Deng. Concluded that with that kind of organizational "pull" they were a potential political threat to the Regime. They had to go. Root and branch. War to the death in other words.
