The police claimed that the younger Mr. Yang died as a result of a hunger strike, but they refused to provide autopsy results. His family is working to find out the cause of his untimely and unexplained death.

Mr. Yang was taken into custody on April 10, and the police informed his family on April 20 that he had died. The exact time of his death is unclear.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.
