2004-06-10If the Chinese government were really trying to relieve itself from international condemnation of its human rights violations, the best way would be to just end its senseless, meaningless and immoral persecution against the law-abiding and innocent Falun Gong practitioners, which Jiang Zemin has poured a massive amount of national resources into suppressing. -
Suizhou City Officials Falsely Blame Falun Gong Practitioners When Unemployed Workers Strike After Failed Appeals to Higher Authorities
2004-06-04The Tieshu Group textile factory in Suizhou City once employed a few thousand workers, but has now gone bankrupt due to corrupt dealings between the factory leaders and the local government officials. In order to be able to support themselves, many jobless workers appealed to higher authorities on several occasions with no result. Finally, the unemployed workers protested by blocking the local railways. Information circulating among the workers said that Mayor Wu Chao was falsely telling the higher authorities that the railway blockings were caused by Falun Gong practitioners. Twenty of them were falsely arrested for allegedly practising Falun Gong and taken to the Hubei Province Denglin Farm (a jail), where the police did not allow visits from their family members. -

Speech from the International Conference on "Genocide in the New Era" by Peter Müller from the International Human Rights Federation
2004-03-31"We normally think of terrorists as a group of individuals who use violent methods to terrorize a state into submitting to their demands. State terrorism is when a whole nation’s resources are harnessed to terrorize its individuals into submitting to the will of the ruling party or leader. This is standard dictatorial and especially Communist practice, not only in China. The description fits exceptionally well the brutal persecution which the former Chinese President Jiang Zemin unleashed against Falun Gong practitioners in China." -

They told me that I have to find another person from my factory to substitute for me if I want to get out of here, and that otherwise I have to be detained here with the Falun Gong practitioners."
