Victims of the Persecution Are Not Limited to Those who Practise Falun Gong
2005-12-01Xiaozhang said, "They are vicious people! In order to stop me from appealing to the higher authorities, they told people that I was a Falun Gong practitioner. The police therefore tried to arrest me. The fact is, I didn't know about Falun Gong at all, let alone practise Falun Gong. I was forced to leave home and eventually I managed to come here to Canada. They are so malicious!" -

An Analysis on the Chinese Communist Party’s Evil Marxist Theory
2005-11-20Marx opposed all religions and said that religions were the opium of the people. A recent survey has shown that 80% of people in the world believe in a religion and only 20% do not, and the majority of these 20% of people live in China. This is the result of the decades of atheist brainwashing and the crackdown on religions by the CCP. It is very easy for a person with no belief to commit a bad deed, because he has no sense of respect, no internal restraint, and dares to do anything. -

I Helped the Police Arrest and Beat Falun Dafa Practitioners at Tiananmen Square. I Now Deeply Repent!
2005-11-19I now know the truth about the "Falun Gong practitioners," whom the police told us to capture and bring to them. Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people. They don't hit back or curse back when they are hit and cursed at. They didn't say anything when we robbed them. We beat and captured nearly a thousand, if not more, Falun Dafa practitioners. They all said only a few sentences, "What you are doing is illegal and wrong" and "You are doing evil deeds and will be punished." -

They were merely requesting that the authorities return their legitimate right to practise Falun Gong and to release the practitioners who had been wrongly arrested.

A Policeman in China Asks: "Can You Teach My Mother to Practise Falun Gong?"
2005-11-17It is a pity that after several days I was compelled to leave home and become homeless because I wrote a letter to sue Jiang Zemin. Four months later I was illegally arrested and sent to a forced labour camp for two years. I have not seen the kindhearted policeman since, however, this matter always remains in my heart. -
Disparaging Words: Spontaneous Reaction to the Persecution of Falun Gong
2005-11-16Yes, it is a shameful thing for a decent scholar to describe an incident, a person, or a politician as stupid. Yet this is the comment that those experts and scholars usually make after they learn the truth of the persecution. As a matter of fact, this persecution is not only just "stupid." The other word that people utter after they've learnt the truth is "evil."
