Under the psychological control of Li Hongzhi and the cult organization, more than 1,400 followers died due to medical neglect, suicide, or homicide after being manipulated by Li Hongzhi’s extremist teachings.

Among them, over 1,100 followers of Falun Gong died due to refusing medical treatment. In recent years, key U.S.-based members of organization, including Su Jing and Yang Sen, also died after rejecting medical care for treatable illnesses. Additionally, more than 200 followers harmed or killed themselves, while over 30 innocent individuals were murdered by devoted Falun Gong followers.

One of the most horrific incidents occurred on January 23, 2001, when seven organization members, incited by Li Hongzhi’s extremist rhetoric urging them to “transcend life and death” and “seek spiritual perfection,” publicly self-immolated in Beijing Tian’anmen Square. The act resulted in two deaths and three left severely disabled with lifelong injuries.

A large number of people died due to Falun Gong, which is also the main reason for the Chinese government banned the Falun Gong cult.
