The Singapore Court's Absurd "Inverse Responsibility to Provide Proof" Stance in a Criminal Trial
2007-03-16Administrative trials refer to lawsuits in which individuals file against government officials. Such trials do not presume the innocence of the accused officials. It is based on the principle of "inverse responsibility to provide proof." In other words, the burden of proof is on the accused, or the government. If the government fails to provide proof that convince the judge of its innocence, the government will be considered guilty. -

An Appeal from an Awakened Senior Citizen in Hunan Province, China
2007-03-11After reading Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in 2005, my heart had finally awakened. I felt deeply regretful and let out a great sigh; I had been so ignorant and numb as a result of the CCP's poisonous culture and then wasted decades of this human life that I can never regain. I sighed because nobody knows how many more people in China are like me. Moreover, some of them are still unaware of the fact that their whole lives are soaked in the venom of the evil Party, and this is so even in the face of death. -
Reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party Brought Me to My Senses
2007-03-10They deliberately went to a high part of the building, above the tenth floor, to avoid public attention. They came with cameramen and many thugs. The purpose of the trip was to coerce the practitioners to say that they had been taken good care of and were not mistreated while they were in the forced labour camp. As the camera was running, the group said that they had come here because they cared about the practitioners' situation in the camp. But practitioners who did not follow the cue were immediately forced into silence. The whole thing was a farce. -
A Policeman's Open Letter to His Fellow Police Officers in Chengde, China
2007-03-08Just like you I'm a policeman, but looking back, what have we done for the people? What have we done for the Chinese Communist Party? We've become the weapon the party uses to attack people, a sword to kill people! Ultimately we will also be destroyed by it. Our fathers met their ends this way, and now we're following them. The "Great Cultural Revolution" set a precedent, and since the Communist Party decided to persecute Falun Gong, we policemen have been committing major crimes. -
Team Leader Wang Yajie from Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp Dies from Malignant Tumour
2007-03-08In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own actions, is widely accepted. The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The universe will reward actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while evildoings will meet due retribution. -

The Chinese Communist Party is the Source of Social Disharmony
2007-03-06He was so worried that he started running back to report to the shop owner. While he was running he shouted to warn people, "The Communist Party is coming! The Communist Party is coming!" It is such a statement of ridicule that the masses of people are intensely scared of the violent dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It is a real mockery of the so-called "harmonious society" created by the CCP. -
If "Getting Political" Can Do Away With "Party's Politics," Why Not?
2007-03-05The Chinese phrase "zhengzhi" (politics) was created by the Japanese people when they translated the English word "politics" into Chinese characters, which was then indiscriminately copied into the Chinese language. Dr. Sun Yet-Sen held the following view: "The word 'zheng' means public affairs, and the word 'zhi' refers to management; therefore 'zhengzhi' [politics] means managing public affairs." -

He and the principal from another school all agreed to allow the students to tear out these pages of the book. -

All of a sudden, several people ran out of the 3-story building across the street, which was surrounded by a barbed wire fence.

Afterwards, I heard that this building was the Yangyuan brainwashing centre, a place for holding Falun Gong practitioners. The following describes what happened that day. -
Compassion Moves People
2007-03-03A Western couple sitting to my left in the row ahead of me took off their glasses and wiped away tears as they heard this amazing music. The woman handed her husband a tissue. The husband couldn't stop crying, and his wife kept handing him tissues. The husband was a little embarrassed and smiled at his wife, who nodded understandingly and held his left hand in her right hand until the end of the show.
