Tourists and Chinese Public Witness the Courage of Practitioners in Tiananmen Square

On October 12, with great courage, over two dozen Falun Dafa practitioners in China went to Tiananmen to validate the Fa [principles of Falun Dafa]. They unfurled banners reading, "Falun Dafa is Good" and cried out to the whole universe, "Falun Dafa is good!" "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" "Restore Dafa's [Great Law] reputation!" "Restore Master Li Hongzhi's reputation!". Over half of the practitioners returned home safely, but at least nine practitioners were arrested; some were severely beaten. Two practitioners in the Square were arrested in front of the Golden Water Bridge. Special agents arrested and viciously hit the face of a young practitioner. Undaunted, this practitioner kept holding up the banner and shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" "Restore Dafa's reputation!" "Restore Master Li Hongzhi's reputation!" He disregarded the great pain and humiliation.

A large number of passers-by and tourists on Tiananmen Square witnessed the evil's ugliness, and the greatness and compassion of Falun Dafa practitioners.

Many people were completely shocked by the heroic undertaking of Dafa practitioners and stared at this moving and tragic scene until Dafa practitioners were taken into a row of small single-storey houses for further interrogation and torture.

Dafa practitioners kept firmly in mind not to co-operate with the evil people. They refused to co-operate with the interrogation, tried to persuade people to stop doing evil deeds, and kept clarifying the truth and offering salvation to those who were deceived. Six practitioners were later sent to the Tiananmen Police Station. Every one of the practitioners refused to co-operate with the evil interrogation. None of them told the evil anything, including their name, address, age, or educational background. When in police custody, they shared their experiences and never asked each other their names or addresses. They kept encouraging each other and consolidating their strong righteous thoughts and their unshakable belief. They did group practice and sent forth righteous thoughts.

Later, the six practitioners were separated and sent to two other police stations for further interrogation. In one of the stations, two illegally detained male practitioners were able to safely walk out of the den of monsters and went back join the truth clarifying activities.
