My First Truth Clarifying Activity
2001-12-27I noticed a girl of about four or five being pulled along by a man quickly through the crowds of shoppers, obviously in a hurry to get his shopping finished. I heard the little girl say to the man that had her by the hand, but was not taking any notice of us or her “Look that’s Falun Gong”. He did not hear her but I did. -

2001-12-25" Terri Marsh, a Falun Gong practitioner, and co-counsel for the plaintiff, stated "The defendant's attempts to circumvent the legal complaint not only by a campaign of propaganda in the Chinese state-controlled media, but by arresting and torturing the plaintiff, is a cowardly and brutally inhuman response to these serious charges. Today, the Chinese Government's persecution of Falun Dafa in violation of international law has been acknowledged in the United States District Court. The defendant cannot deny this judgement." -

Clarifying the Truth of Falun Gong in Bratislava, Slovakia
2001-12-21Although representatives of the Slovakian Chinese Consulate attempted to spread lies to the practitioners on both days, they were aware that these practitioners are good people and that the threat of punishment through international law is inevitable for both themselves and their Government.

Chinese residents of Bratislava showed a very different reaction when many of the Falun Gong practitioners ate in their restaurant. As well as expressing an interest in learning about the truth and the practice of Falun Dafa, they presented practitioners with gifts after the meal. -
Chinese Security Forces Mistreat Western Falun Gong Practitioners
2001-12-21What Made the Deepest Impression on You?When I saw that latticed dungeon-like cell I knew that Falun Gong practitioners were being abused tortured there. Whoever is unlucky to land down there is open to willful, brutal abuse at the hands of Chinese authorities, without any protection. I was shocked at the readiness of the Chinese police to commit violence. I was somewhat clear that, because of our nationality, we would have certain recourse. But I was also aware of the risks, because the Chinese authorities have for the past 2-1/2 years demonstrated their incalculable and unscrupulous behavior for all the world to see. In retrospect, I shudder to think of the possibilities what could have happened to us had we not been Westerners and the whole world would not have soon found out about our arrest.
