Hunan Province Government Officials Who Persecute Falun Dafa Practitioners Receive Karmic Retribution
2005-10-09
Each time we publish news of this nature, we do so with heavy hearts. These people started off as public servants, but under the intense pressure applied by former president Jiang Zemin and his followers, they were pushed into persecuting those who practise Falun Dafa. In the process of destroying the lives of kind, law-abiding citizens, they have sealed their own fates and inevitably faced karmic retribution as punishment. If it weren't for Jiang's wicked orders, perhaps their fates would have been different. -
China is in Serious Danger
2005-10-08As a matter of fact, when the suppressors fell into an unprecedented deathtrap in persecuting Falun Gong in 2000, they already knew that if they could not prove the persecution was correct via extreme measures, and failed to succeed through mass murder, then the Falun Gong "issue" that they could not back down from would mean that they could face the consequences of being brought to trial. In reality, the Falun Gong "issue" has actually dominated the direction of China's political situation for several years, and this is also the fundamental cause for the rapid deterioration of the political climate in China. -
US State Department Official: Anyone Who Was Responsible for or Directly Carried out Severe Violations of Religious Freedom Are Inadmissible for Entry into the United States
2005-10-08It has been six years Since July of 1999, when the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China started. In the beginning, Chinese Communist Party officials who obeyed Jiang Zemin's orders to persecute Falun Gong were not fearful of any consequences of their evil acts. But now, they have begun to realise that they have to bear responsibility for all the consequences arising from their actions. -
Why is the Chinese Communist Party Afraid of Letting Falun Gong Practitioners Leave China?
2005-10-06In addition to the distorted desire to intentionally cause pain to others forged over the Chinese Communist Party's long-term rule, the primary reason that Jiang Zemin and the party prohibit Falun Gong practitioners from leaving China is that they thought by keeping practitioners in China, the horrific crimes the party committed during the persecution would be hidden from the outside world. -
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, but My Mother is Still Being Persecuted
2005-10-06In 1996, Mom started practising Falun Gong. Six months later, she was healthy as if she had been completely remolded. Her large eyes regained their lost splendour, and her complexion appeared rosy. Laughter and songs returned to our family. Mom was able to do all the household tasks and take good care of my father and me. That was the happiest period of time for our family. Mom was full of energy every day and capable of helping seniors who were sick at the homes of our relatives and friends. Father was so happy that he told everyone he encountered, "Falun Dafa is so good!" -

The World Takes Solid Steps to Oppose the Persecution by Accepting its Victims

She obtained UN refugee status and was brought from Shenyang City to the US. She safely arrived on September 21st. -
An Open Letter to Western Society from a Falun Gong Practitioner in China
2005-10-04Falun Gong practitioners simply will not relinquish their belief in the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." They have no political agenda. Their very yearning for goodness scares the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which claims that China's human rights situation is now the best ever. However, the "best" by CCP standards only means that citizens have the right to survive. Basic human rights are in fact not protected in China. -
A Change of Heart by Criminals Condemned to Death
2005-10-04He told the practitioner frankly: "Three days before you came, I was told they would send a Falun Gong person here. They asked me to treat you viciously if you were not already dead. Now I realise that Falun Gong teaches people to be good and is a righteous Law. I can tell you I have done all kinds of bad things, but I will not take part in persecuting Falun Gong. I would not be where I am today if I had known about Falun Gong earlier. If I have a chance, I will learn Falun Gong so that I too can be a good person." -
WSJ: China's Internet Censors Fight a Losing Battle
2005-10-04In addition to human censors, all Web site-hosting services have also installed keywords filtering software. Posts on politically sensitive topics, such as Falun Gong, human rights, democracy, and Taiwan independence are routinely filtered. A list obtained by the Berkeley China Internet Project last year found that over 1,000 words, including "dictatorship," "truth," and "riot police" are automatically banned in China's online forums. -
International Rescue Efforts Show Defeat of Chinese Communist Party's Lies
2005-10-03On September 21st, 2005, more than six years after the Chinese Communist Party began persecuting Falun Gong, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Li Weixun was able to come to the United States as a refugee under protection by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR). Ms. Li does not have any family in the United States. This is not just a matter of Ms. Li beginning a new life in which she can freely practise her faith, but a statement by the international community of support for Falun Gong. -
The Hong Kong Administration Needs To Revisit Rationality
2005-10-03This irrational contempt of the court began with the illogical actions by the Hong Kong government in February 2003, when Hong Kong practitioners held an experience sharing conference. Eighty Falun Gong practitioners from Taiwan travelled to Hong Kong to attend the event. Without explanation, the government barred all eighty practitioners from entering Hong Kong. This is an contemptible human rights violation by the Hong Kong government who behaved as a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). -
Let More People Like Li Weixun Live in Freedom
2005-10-02On September 21st, 2005, Ms. Li Weixun, a Falun Gong practitioner from Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province in China was successfully relocated to the United States. The effort involved the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), U.S.-based Friends of Falun Gong, U.S. State Department, U.S. Congress, and several NGOs. -
The Kind Actions of Falun Gong Practitioners Move Those Around Them
2005-09-29On the second day, the village accountant passed by. He stopped his truck and said, "Thank you very much, Falun Gong practitioners! It has been a headache to pass this section. The ditch made it very hard to drive. If you go too fast, the bumper may be damaged. If you go too slowly the engine dies. If anyone comes again to arrest practitioners, we will help you and stop them." He then joined us in repairing the road. -
