Someone who Doesn't Practise Falun Gong Asks, "Why did I Hate Falun Gong?"
2004-08-16I have finally found out the real reason I have hated Falun Gong in the past few years. Under the attack of the intensive propaganda these past few years, many people in Mainland China have misunderstandings and even developed hatred towards Falun Gong. The reason for their hatred is more or less the same as mine. It is funny that those in power who really hate Falun Gong cite this as their evidence of "support from the majority," but they forget that this so-called "fact" is because they have controlled the media, covered up the truth and kept people from finding out for themselves. -
My Testimony: Severe Liver Cirrhosis Disappears after Practising Falun Gong
2004-08-16After practising for only one and a half month, I lost 3 Jin. I no longer feel bloated after each meal. My bowel movements are now good. All the accumulated fluid in my abdomen is also gone. I feel wonderful! I will persevere in practising even if it means more hardships. For such a good practice, why not? I feel better day after day. My mood improves from one day to the next. Before, I had even contemplated suicide because of my unbearable sicknesses. -
Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China - Part Four
2004-08-14Jiang's group has been exploiting the Communist Party's tradition of launching massive political movements. They have organised large-scale activities: groups watching movies, mass denouncement, and the Million People's Petition Drive, etc. to force the people of the whole nation to become their accomplices. Whoever doesn't support their crimes, or whoever dares to express their sympathy and support for Falun Gong will be severely punished. -
Patient with a Breast Tumour and Bone Cancer Obtained a New Life after Practising Falun Dafa for Less than Three Months
2004-08-14I received chemotherapy in the hospital for three years. I cannot express with words the suffering I endured. Even though I kept taking medication every day, in April of 2004, my tumour came back and metastasised to the bone (bone cancer). After I went to the hospital, my doctor said it was impossible to be completely cured. The only thing that could be done was to use chemotherapy, which might ease my sickness and relieve the pain for the time being. The doctor told my family members: "She will be paralysed soon." -
Belgium: Falun Gong Spokesperson's Speech at an Interparliamentary Conference on Human Rights and Religious Freedom
2004-08-13"The world has already spoken out against China’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Members of democratic society have condemned China’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong. The U.S. Congress and the European Parliament, for example, have specifically passed resolutions calling on China to stop the persecution of Falun Gong and supporting the human rights of Falun Gong." -
How Falun Dafa Changed my Life in Prison
2004-08-12She then clarified the truth to me, which greatly surprised me. I realised Falun Gong is not like what the TV described after all. Still, the police put good people who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance behind bars. After hearing her words, I commented from the bottom of my heart, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. If everyone were like you Falun Gong practitioners, this world would be so wonderful!" -
Seventy-Year-Old Ms. Liu Chaofen Appeals to the People's Congress and Prosecutor in Yunnan Province
2004-08-12I believe that my daughter has not broken any laws by distributing Falun Gong leaflets. Falun Gong does no harm the social order or any individual. On the contrary, such behaviour of distributing the truth of Falun Gong is respectful of every citizen's right to know the facts, is helpful to the judiciary and is beneficial to uphold the dignity of law. No single piece of information in these leaflets is against the Communist Party or our government -
Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China - Part Three
2004-08-10The core of Jiang's followers' persecution of Falun Gong is to imprint their anti-Falun Gong sentiment into the minds of the Chinese public. Under this campaign of state-sponsored terror, not only Falun Gong practitioners, but also all Chinese people are being deprived of their independent thinking and right to express different ideas. People are without choice but to accept Jiang and his followers' way of thinking. -
A Third Party Commentary on Why Chinese Dictator Jiang Persecutes Falun Gong
2004-08-10It is fairly easy to figure out that Jiang suppressed Falun Gong because he was so jealous of Falun Gong's popularity. At the same time that the number of cultivators grew so rapidly, he became less and less popular. He lost his senses due to jealousy, and this was the most foolish thing he has ever done. -
Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China - Part Two
2004-08-08Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin and his group, which masterminds the persecution of Falun Gong, accuses Falun Gong of "mind control" in attempts to justify its label of "evil cult," because only then could the nationwide campaign to crush Falun Gong ever make sense to the people of China. After all, in the years before the persecution started, the Chinese government praised Falun Gong for the great benefits it had brought to Chinese society. How could it suddenly turn to become something so bad? -
Falun Dafa Cured Me of My Severe Liver and Kidney Disease
2004-08-08I suffered from unbearable pain on account of my liver ascites (excessive accumulation of fluids), so I was unable to eat or drink anything. My face was grayish-yellow, which alarmed everyone who visited me. As my illness became more and more serious, the hospital sent out a notice informing others about my critical condition. -
Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China? - Part One
2004-08-07The persecution of Falun Gong by China's dictator Jiang Zemin's regime has lasted for over five years. During the early stages when a propaganda campaign to defame Falun Gong was launched across the country, or during the later stages with the widespread efforts to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners so as to make them give up their belief in the practice is still underway today, at all times over the last five years, the persecutors have accused Falun Gong of mind control (or thought control). -
Falun Gong Practitioners Expose the Persecution from Their Sense of Justice, Not from Others' Funding
2004-08-05When we know that Falun Gong practitioners in China are being persecuted and there are almost daily news accounts of someone dying as a result of the persecution we would not have a clear conscience if we did not condemn the persecution and ask people from all walks of life to help stop it. Our cries for justice are certainly not motivated by money! -
Consequences of Repressing Falun Gong
2004-08-05To repress such a group of people, the methods used would certainly be evil, such as, "beat them to death and claim that they committed suicide, then send them to be cremated without verifying their identity,", "police can rape female practitioners, or the wife and daughter of male practitioners and they won't be reported." In a word, all sorts of inhumane and offencive conduct is protected and encouraged under the name of "Cracking down on Falun Gong." -
Interview with a Participant in the Anti-Torture Exhibition in London
2004-08-03Edward never wanted to make the tiger bench. Standing under the shade of a tree overlooking the anti-torture exhibition held in London on Sunday 18th July, he is almost in tears as he recalls the process of bringing himself to make the mock-up torture device. “Actually you know the tiger bench is very infamous. We heard about it before, when the Communist Party was condemning the previous regime and how they tortured their people. I didn’t know what kind of pain it could inflict. It is ironic that they now use the same thing to torture other people.”
