Words from the Hearts of Citizens in Daqing City
2004-12-18A CEO of a company said to a Falun Gong practitioner, "I saw many Falun Gong practitioners when I was in Japan, Russia, Hong Kong and other areas. What they did was merely inform people of the true situation regarding Falun Gong and the persecution. They are exactly the same as how you described. You are very good -- you are indeed great! I really can't understand why Jiang Zemin insists on persecuting you. From now on, you just work in our company and no one is allowed to bully you..." -
Open Letter from Australian Falun Dafa Practitioner, a Scientist from China, Liu Jinghang to Singapore's Premier, Li Xianlong
2004-12-17I was very shocked when I heard that the police in Singapore arrested two Falun Dafa practitioners on charges of unlawful assembly and distributing informational materials about the brutal persecution in China without a license. I understand that the practitioners have been brought to trial and face large fines and even up to a year in jail if they are convicted. As a Falun Dafa practitioner from China who has suffered greatly in the persecution, I am particularly concerned about this miscarriage of justice. -
Falun Dafa Practitioners' Family Member Takes the Initiative to Reason with Community Officials
2004-12-17My father continued, "Nowadays, corruption has become so rampant. On July 4th, 1989, guns and tanks were used in the crackdown on the students simply because they expressed their opposition to corruption. Falun Gong practitioners had done nothing more than practise the exercises and strive to be good people. They were arrested only because they said that they practised. If Falun Gong is so bad, then why has it been welcomed in more than sixty countries? What does this tell us?" -
Information about Brainwashing "Textbook" Published by Jiang's Group: Providing Evidence and Calling for International Criminal Investigation
2004-12-16In many places in China, persecutors forced many Falun Dafa practitioners to attend the brainwashing classes where they illegally detained practitioners and tortured them mentally. The brainwashing sessions use a notorious "textbook" which is filled with words that slander Falun Dafa and instigate hatred towards practitioners. This so called "textbook" also exposes a lot of evidence of the crimes that Jiang and his group have committed. -
Xinhua News Agency Fabricates New Lies about Falun Gong After Documentaries Analysing the Staged "Self-immolation" Were Broadcasted on Satellite TV
2004-12-15People from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province shared their excitement with each other after watching the documentary, "Between Heaven and Earth," which was spliced into the Beijing Satellite TV System. They were surprised and delighted. They told their friends: "The TV is showing positive images about Falun Gong!" "The Communist Party's deception is so despicable" "Falun Gong is really remarkable." -
Stories from China: People Are Gradually Coming to Realise the Truth About Falun Gong
2004-12-15One said, "The authorities have been arresting Falun Gong practitioners for the past few years. I believe Falun Gong practitioners are good people. My mother-in-law practises Falun Gong. She used to suffer from a lot of illnesses. Now she is in great shape! I even feel better myself when I visit her. I don't believe Falun Gong practitioners commit wrongdoings." -
It Would be Better to Make up for One's Errors by Performing Good Deeds than by Destroying Incriminating Evidence
2004-12-14A friend of mine in Yueyang, Hunan Province said, when some local policemen now search Falun Gong practitioners' houses, they no longer look for money, personal belongings and Falun Gong materials like before, instead they only take away evidence of the persecution, such as detention warrants, fine tickets and so on. It is laughable that while they are acting illegally, they are at the same time trying to evade their responsibility for these same illegal actions. -
Having Greatly Benefited from Practising Falun Gong, Practitioners Uphold Their Belief under Severe Persecution
2004-12-14In February of 1998, I began practising Falun Dafa. Shortly after I started practising, all of my symptoms disappeared and I no longer needed medication. I have been in good health ever since. In fact, I'm healthier than ever. All of my friends and relatives are very happy for me. -
Using a Falun Dafa Practitioners' Mentality in Exposing the Communist Party's Persecution of Falun Dafa
2004-12-13At the same time, to gain support it fulfilled people's desire for material interest. This is in fact just a matter of "sharing a cup of soup," which the Communist Party gained through corruption and seeking private gains, with a small number of Chinese people. Finally, it has been trying its best to maintain its power by instigating the spirit of "nationalism." During its persecution of Falun Dafa, this deceit has poisoned many people's minds and resulted in the deaths of many Falun Dafa practitioners. -
Some Comments on the "Self-Immolation Incident"
2004-12-12In fact, when the government decided to crack down on you, I thought you must have some anti-government propaganda or activities. Now that I think about it, if the government has to resort to peaceful means such as sit-in for anti-Party evidence, in addition to fabricating other evidence. They really have nothing else to show. -
Interviews with Artists Featured in the “Uncompromising Courage” Exhibit: “The People’s Tribunal” by Kathleen Gillis
2004-12-12I wanted to give the viewers a chance to relate to it and not to think of it as something happening in another country, but rather something happening right here. I remember one time a woman came up to me and she said, “Why don’t you take your problems back to where you came from?” I am Caucasian. She has such a strong impression that this was somebody else’s problem that she didn't even register my ethnic origin. People just want to dismiss it: it is on the other side of the earth and it does not affect them. But it does affect them. -
People In China Comment on Falun Gong
2004-12-11One vendor said: "I know them very well. I run into them quite often in this market. They're the nicest people here. I think the restoration of Falun Gong's reputation is only a matter of time. If the government continues the persecution, then the leaders are doomed. A country that cannot distinguish good from bad is doomed. I'll practise Falun Gong too after the restoration of Falun Gong's reputation." -
Two Policemen Have a Change of Heart about Falun Gong and Experience a Change of Fortune
2004-12-11In 2002, a policeman in Nanyang City was involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners'' family members. He was later diagnosed with cancer, which led him to the brink of death. At that point he awakened, repented of his past behaviour and began practising Falun Gong. His cancer has now started to heal and his health has returned back to normal. -
Classified Documents Expose the Criminal Tactics of Jiang Zemin and His Gang of Scoundrels
2004-12-10The Beijing Jail Administrative Bureau and the "Re-education Through Labour" Bureau made their report appear as if it was a "struggle." Initially, the prison and forced labour camp guards were annoyed with Falun Gong practitioners because they do not hit back when beaten and don't talk back when scolded or insulted. This made them helpless since there was nothing they could do. Later, even with physical violence, they failed to make the practitioners succumb to their demands -
People In China Stand Up Against the Persecution
2004-12-10This practitioner had left home to avoid being subjected to further persecution and was staying at his relative's home. The police station chief and political leader knew the practitioner's relative's home address, but they discussed this among themselves and decided not to arrest the practitioner. This police chief once told his subordinate, "Some time in the future Falun Gong's reputation will be restored. We have to leave a door open for ourselves!"
