| Writers WynnumManly: Author to visit Wynnum |
 Jennifer Zen, Author of Witnessing History
One Woman’s Fight for Freedom and Falun Gong
The function will be at ReVamps, 105 Edith Street, Wynnum on Thursday May 19th, at 6 pm. Cost $10 includes refreshments. Phone to book - 3893 0300.
Despite a life-threatening illness, Jennifer Zeng was given fresh hope through practising Falun Gong.
Soon after she discovered it, however, Falun Gong was banned in the most far-reaching suppression and persecution experienced in China since The Cultural Revolution. After several arrests, the bright young scientist and happily married mother was blacklisted and imprisoned in a purpose-built forced labour camp – without any formal trial or charge.
