Call for a Thorough Investigation into Shen Yun Performing Arts' Abuse and Manipulation
29 August 2024
As a concerned American citizen, I am deeply shocked and outraged by the recent New York Times investigation published on August 16, 2024, titled "Abuse and Manipulation." The report reveals severe abuse and manipulation of young performers by Shen Yun Performing Arts at its headquarters, Dragon Springs, in New York State. These actions not only violate fundamental human rights but also undermine core American values.
The investigation highlights five major concerns about Shen Yun Performing Arts:
1. Restriction of Freedom: Many performers are forced to join Shen Yun at a young age and are not allowed to leave the institution without special permission. They are only permitted to see their families during a two-week summer break each year.
2. Neglect of Health: Performers are required to continue dancing even when injured and often cannot receive necessary medical care.
3. Low Wages and Unpaid Work: Performers work long hours under high pressure with minimal pay or, in some cases, no compensation at all.
4. Atmosphere of Fear: The environment at Dragon Springs is described as fear-inducing, with strict control over the personal lives of performers, impacting their mental health.
5. Threats and Intimidation: Those attempting to leave are threatened with demands to repay substantial scholarship and living expenses, potentially amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
These abuses and manipulations are occurring at the headquarters of Falun Gong in New York State, and Shen Yun Performing Arts must be held accountable. The New York Times' investigation has provided thorough evidence, with meticulous fact-checking and legal review. We urge the U.S. Department of Justice and New York State CPS to conduct a comprehensive investigation into these serious allegations and take appropriate action to ensure that Shen Yun Performing Arts is held legally responsible for their misconduct.
Please take action to protect the rights and safety of young performers and uphold our core values by addressing these grave abuses.
Thank you for your attention and support.

作为一名正义的美国公民，我对纽约时报于2024年8月16日发布的调查报告《虐待与操控》感到震惊和愤怒。报告揭示了法轮功神韵艺术团在其纽约州总部龙泉寺内部对年轻演员的严重虐待和操控行为。这些行为不仅严重侵犯了个体的基本权利，也对我们美国的核心价值观构成了极大的威胁。
报告指出，神韵艺术团的五宗罪包括：
1. 限制自由：表演者在十几岁时被迫加入神韵，并在没有特别许可的情况下被禁止离开学校，只有在一年一次的两周暑假期间才能见到父母。
2. 健康忽视：表演者即使受伤也被迫继续跳舞，通常无法获得适当的医疗帮助。
3. 低工资和无报酬：表演者在长时间的高强度工作中，工资极低，甚至有时候没有报酬。
4. 恐惧气氛：龙泉寺内部的管理环境充满恐惧，对演员的个人生活进行严密控制，影响了他们的心理健康。
5. 威胁和恐吓：希望退出的表演者被威胁，要求偿还高额的奖学金和食宿费用，这些费用可能高达数十万美元。
这些虐待和操控事件发生在纽约州的法轮功总部龙泉寺，神韵艺术团必须对此负责。纽约时报的调查经过严谨的取证和法律审查，证据确凿。我们请求纽约州儿童保护服务局和美国司法部对这些严重指控进行全面调查，并采取必要措施，确保神韵艺术团对其违法行为承担应有的法律责任。
请您采取行动，为保护年轻演员的权利与安全，维护我们的核心价值观，制止这些严重的虐待行为。
感谢您的关注和支持。
