Thousands of Falun Gong followers have been detained in the crackdown as supporters abroad say more than 300 have died from torture and mistreatment. Last November, the Chinese government deported 35 western supporters, including six Americans, who protested in Beijing against the crackdown. (AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko)
