[Xiangtan City, Hunan Province] Two Falun Dafa Practitioners Send Forth Righteous Thoughts and Walk Out of Court with Dignity
On August 17, Yuetang District Court of Xiangtan City, Hunan Province illegally tried four Falun Dafa practitioners (Peng Shiqing, Deng Ye, Mo Liqiong, Lu Songming) on the so-called basis of "Organizing and utilizing XX (slandering words) to damage the fulfillment of Law." In court, the four practitioners thoroughly opposed the arrangement of the old evil forces and solemnly stated that all the charges were groundless: "The constitution endows people with the basic rights of speech, belief, assembly and association. But Jiang Zemin's gang is now violating the constitution, which is a crime against the people. We are offering advice to the presiding judge, prosecutor and all other judges sitting here. Be fair, uphold justice, restore the reputation of Dafa and release all innocent Falun Gong practitioners that have been illegally detained." The four practitioners were magnanimous and noble. They frightened the evil people and eliminated the evil elements behind those judges. After the so-called procedure of "evidence investigation," two practitioners (Peng Shiqing and Mo Liqiong) sent forth righteous thoughts and walked out of the gate of the court building with dignity. Afterwards, the evil force tried to search for the two practitioners throughout the town. While attempting to find these two practitioners, they repeatedly, illegally broke into the homes of other local Dafa practitioners and their friends and relatives, to search, interrogate, coerce and intimidate them. But they did not get Peng and Mo.
After this event, people from the central government came to investigate. They gave the command that these two Dafa practitioners "must [be caught] with no consideration for life or death". They also secretly listed Xiangtan City as a particular place to focus the intensive crackdown.
[Beijing] Practitioner Zhao Lu Illegally Sentenced to One and A Half Years in Custody
On the night of September 12, 2001, Beijing Dafa practitioners Zhao Lu and Zhang Xiuying were both arrested. One was taken from her apartment located in Gongzhufen, and the other from her home. Later we learned that the arrests were made because an old woman called Ma Guoying had reported the two practitioners to the police.
Zhao Lu has been illegally sentenced to one and a half years in custody. Zhang Xiuying, based on the information provided by her son in law, handed in her Falun Dafa books and was released. Zhang was once disabled. As she said herself, she used to be disabled before cultivation, but was able to do everything on her own after beginning to practice Falun Dafa. We call on all just, upright, and kind people to send forth righteous thoughts, completely oppose the evil arrangements of the old forces, and help Zhao Lu leave the evil's den earlier so that she can re-join the Fa rectification as soon as possible.
[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Witnessing the Power of Righteous Thoughts
Minghui Net reported on Oct 12, 2001: "Chengdu Business News reported that a storytelling artist called Li Boqing who had slandered Falun Gong, recently 'felt fatigue and frustrated'. He was retreating from his career." This is retribution for slandering Dafa. An audio/video store selling products slandering Falun Dafa has recently closed; however several neighboring audio/video stores are still prospering. This is the inevitable fate of these incurably evil people, and also, another manifestation of the power of the pure, compassionate righteous thoughts of Dafa practitioners.
In May of this year, two Dafa practitioners passed this store and found a banner in it advertising audio/videos that slandered Dafa. These products were made by the evil artist Li Boqing, and reserved for publication by the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Sichuan Province. Out of kindness and compassion, Dafa practitioners have used wisdom to tell the store's owner and employees their cultivation experiences and the positive social effects resulting from the spreading of Dafa both at home and abroad. Practitioners also advised the owner to stop selling evil products filled with lies. It was a pity that the owner has not listened and has thus far been bent on having his own misguided way.
In this case, Dafa practitioners have again admonished selfish people with compassionate advice: Be clear-minded, use conscience and kindness to deny the evil. Do not follow the evil forces any more. To harm others is the same as harming yourself.
