The U.S. State Department on May 13 highlighted the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong practitioners at the hands of the Chinese communist regime.

“On World Falun Dafa Day, we recognize the countless Falun Gong practitioners the PRC [People’s Republic of China] harasses & abuses simply for their beliefs,” the department’s Office of International Religious Freedom wrote in a tweet on Wednesday.
