A Trial Between Good and Evil: Report of the Fa-Rectification in Changchun Nanguan Court

Jan. 23, 2002

(Clearwisdom.net) This morning, Changchun Nanguan Court's plansáto hold public show-trials of 13 Dafa practitioners at 10:30 a.m. came to a premature end due to the powerful righteous thoughts of hundreds of Falun Dafa practitioners. Once again, practitioners used their actions to validate the dignity and solidity of Dafa. The event also reflects the now fragile nature of the evil.

The court notified the practitioners' families in advance that they could hire defense counsel. The families of 12 of the practitioners did so.

Changchun Nanguan Courtáis located near Changchun Dama Boulevard, Dongsidao Street. Practitioners started arriving at the court early in the morning. By 10:30 a.m. there were hundreds of Dafa practitioners in attendance.

The 13 practitioners (10 men and three women) who were to be "tried" were brought to the courthouse around 10:00 a.m. and escorted to a courtroom on the third floor.

Since the entrance to the courtroom was locked at the beginning, the practitioners who had come to observe had to stand out in the corridors and on the stairs of the first and second floors. Though there were many practitioners, they were very quiet, sending forth righteous thoughts quietly to eradicate the evil forces that manipulated this open but unjust trial. After 10:30 a.m., the court had still not been called to order. Some of the practitioners' families questioned passing bailiffs as to when the court would be called to order. In the beginning, they used the excuse that the judge had not come yet and later they simply said they did not know.

Many practitioners started to post small truth-clarifying flyers on the wall and small posters such as "Restore Falun Dafa's Innocence," and "Falun Dafa Is Good." When it came to nearly 11:00 a.m., the court still was not called to order. A young bailiff found that there were many Dafa posters hanging on the wall. After peeling off a few posters, he went into an office to report to his supervisor: "All over the building there are posters saying 'Falun Dafa is good.'" No one answered him and no more bailiffs came out to take off the posters.

At around 11:20 a.m. it was announced that the court was about to be called to order. Seven lawyers, family representatives and dozens of Dafa practitioners entered the third floor courtroom. The room was about 70 to 80 square meters [approx. 800-900 sq. ft.]. It was not very big yet was fully crammed with people. In the middle sat a young lady judge. Beside her there were 4 or 5 bailiffs. Most of the practitioners who had come were standing quietly in the corridors on the two sides and the far end. The judge started by putting on an act asking, one after another, whether each of the defense lawyers had come or not? The moment she asked, there came the sound of sirens. Some practitioners came up from downstairs and said, "They have taken away all the practitioners. They will probably not be tried here." The practitioners upstairs proceeded downstairs. Some bailiffs in the stairs tried to stop them and some of the defendant's family members cried, saying they wanted to have a look at their relatives. The bailiffs tried very hard to stop them from going downstairs, however more and more of the practitioners came downstairs and were able to get out of the building. The judge said feebly after she asked the defense lawyers' names, "The court did not expect so many visitors. This room is too small and cannot hold so many people. So today, we will not hear the case. There will be notification again when and where the case will be tried. Some practitioners questioned her closely when on earth would the court be called to order, but she only said the notification for the court day would be given separately. She had no answer for any other questions.

After a while, loud cries outside by Dafa practitioners rang out continuously: "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is good!" The 13 Dafa practitioners were escorted into police vans. Many Dafa practitioners could not help shedding tears. They shouted loudly in chorus, "Falun Dafa is good!" The police vans snuck away from the righteous cries of the Dafa practitioners. In this way the elaborately planned plot by the evil forces to stage a show-trial of Dafa practitioners completely failed.

When the police vans drove away, some practitioners continued shouting, "Falun Dafa is good" and they ran after the police vans. Many practitioners wanted to run after the police vans to see where they were going and what they would be doing. Due to the inconvenience of traffic, they could not make it. Many practitioners did not leave even after the police vans went away. They kept shouting: "Falun Dafa is good." "Restore Falun Dafa's innocence" All the vehicles and passersby stopped to have a look. The scene was so grand, magnificent and moving. It lasted about half an hour from the time that the unjustly detained Dafa practitioners went downstairs until all of the protesting practitioners went away. An elderly man who read the posters and truth-clarifying materials on the notice board also shouted, "I support Falun Gong!"

Since the practitioners had learned about the show-trial from Minghui Net, the practitioners kept sending forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil forces manipulating this event, and did not allow them to have the unjust trial. The success of this large-scale Fa-rectification activity, on the one hand, depended on Teacher's benevolent assistance, and on the other hand, it exhibited the strong power of Dafa practitioners' righteous thoughts.

The evil forces that had appeared so strong actually had no strength at all. Though the 13 respectable practitioners could not return home immediately, the trial between the righteous and evil ended with the evil's plan failing.

Here, we appeal to Dafa practitioners all over the world to keep sending forth righteous thoughts, to eradicate completely the evil forces, and to not allow the evil forces to use any excuse to unjustly put Dafa practitioners on trial "... completely oppose everything arranged by the evil old forces" ("Dafa is Indestructible"), and push the Fa-rectification to a new stage.

Attached is the name list of the 13 Dafa practitioners:

Yang Guang, Liu Zhe, Zhang Chunyu, Wang Juncheng, Wang Hongge, Yang Feng, Zhang Yufeng (female), Bai Ye, Liu Shuang, Sun Changde, Lu Yan, Zheng Weidong, and Zhang Shuqin.
