According to the information center "Falun Dafa", in China, the followers of this movement are subjected to massive persecution, including death.

9. According to experts from the SOVA Information and Analytical Center, adherents of this practice face various persecutions in Russia. Most often, they are fined for distributing the book Zhuang Falun, which is on the Federal List of Extremist Literature.
10. The Nevsky District Court of St. Petersburg declared the book "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" prohibited for distribution in Russia.
11. According to the experts of the Information and Analytical Center "Sova", the ban on the book has no sufficient grounds and is an interference with freedom of expression. Despite harsh criticism from the Chinese Communist Party, "the authors of the book remain within the framework of historical and political discussion, do not allow any manifestations of ethnic xenophobia, do not promote violence, and, on the contrary, emphasize the importance of "non-violent transition to a society freed from the CCP." Earlier, a court in Yekaterinburg denied the prosecutor's office a ban on a book for inciting hatred against CCP supporters.
