    Even murderers like us didn't suffer the kind of torture Liu Yanjun and the other Falun Gong practitioners did! Looking at them, I pity them.

  • Letter from Chinese Lawyer Gao Zhisheng: "We must immediately stop the brutality that suffocates our nation’s conscience and morality"

    "On October 18, with red-hot enthusiasm, I wrote an open letter to Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, two fellow countrymen of mine, urgently calling on their government to “Stop Persecuting Believers of Freedom and Mend Your Ties with the Chinese People.” The next day, I received blatant threats over the phone at home. Starting the third day, at least ten cars and 20 plainclothes police began circling, monitoring, and following my entire family every day, 24 hours a day. The fifteenth day after I wrote the letter, the Beijing Judicial Bureau illegally closed the attorney’s firm I ran. It is very regrettable how our country treats a citizen who openly makes suggestions."

The only possibility is that a relative filled out the form for her." The niece hurried back to the local police station, found the form with her aunt's name, ripped it apart, and said, "My aunt has had so many health problems that were are all healed through practising Falun Gong. She would never 'transform,' she would never 'transform!'"

    He and I were to move the chest up to the sixth floor. The man didn't think I could move it. Yet we moved it up to the third floor without taking a break. When we stopped, the man said, "You are really incredible, a person of your advanced age. Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed it." I said that I practised Falun Gong and that I used to have to take several breaks before I could reach the sixth floor, even with empty hands. I told him that it was Falun Dafa that changed me. After listening to me, the man said repeatedly, "I believe it, I believe it."

Only demons could do carry out such a heinous crime.
  • The Change in a Taiwanese High School Girl

    This year on Teacher's Day, I received a card from her. She said on the card, "Dear teacher, practitioners of Falun Gong are really different from others. Nobody likes a young person with such a weird personality as mine. But you care about me, as well as so many other classmates with all kinds of different temperaments. It's not easy to deal with so many students. You have been working hard. I want to say, 'Long live Falun Gong' and 'Happy Teacher's Day!'" I was really surprised by this girl's change.
  • Civil Protests Can Glorify A Nation

    Nobody would consider what Dr. King and Rosa Parks did as bringing shame to the nation's image. Nor would anyone criticise them as being anti-American for standing up to the unjust laws of the time. Just the opposite, their peaceful resistance and roles in the civil rights movement are considered crucial actions in history that brought about fundamental changes to the rights of Americans.
