Chinese Times (March 9, 2002). Today, twenty Falun Gong practitioners in Taipei expressed their support about the broadcasting of Falun Gong truth-clarifying programming over local cable networks in Changchun. They hope people from every social strata pay attention to the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. A practitioner said, "You don't need to practice Falun Gong, but you must distinguish righteousness from evil." Not only are practitioners in Mainland China being persecuted, two brides who are Dafa practitioners have been detained and haven't been able to return to Taiwan when they visited families in China. Other active practitioners' visas were denied recently because they practiced Falun Gong.

On March 7, over forty practitioners from Ottawa and Montreal gathered in front of the Chinese Embassy in Canada to appeal for Falun Gong. They also held a press conference stating, "'Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance' can never be defeated. They will surely bring beauty and happiness to humankind." They called for people with righteous minds from all over the world help stop Jiang's state terrorism in his killing campaign of Falun Gong practitioners.

Over a hundred Falun Gong practitioners in New York appealed in front of the Chinese Consulate and they also sent forth righteous thoughts. They protested Jiang's political gang of scoundrels responsible for the state terrorism and killing of Falun Gong practitioners. They called for all the countries and organizations in the world to uphold justice, as well as all kind-hearted people to work together to stop the crimes Jiang's gang have committed against humanity.

Sweden Daily News reported that Falun Gong programs were broadcasted on multiple channels in Changchun, Jilin Province several days ago. One of the programs refuted the Chinese Government's fabrication of the so-called Self Immolation on Tiananmen Square. Although the Chinese Government banned Falun Gong, the support for Falun Gong is very strong in Changchun, northeastern China.

Dispel the clouds with the sunlight. The 50-minute truth program on the Changchun cable network will be a stunning and magnificent feat whenever it is mentioned, whether now or in the future. For the past three years, Jiang, the head villain, has made up lies, used violence and malice. Now, it has collapsed and he has no chance for recovery. If the Dafa practitioners and kind-hearted people in all the 30 provinces, cities and districts [in China] use TV to clarify the truth and expose the evil, then the day when all of the heavens and earth celebrate together will be imminent.

People Who Learn the Truth

Story 1. A villager [non-practitioner] in Sanhe City, Hebei Province told people that Falun Gong is good. Unexpectedly, a policeman next to him asked whether he was a Falun Gong practitioner. With no fear, he answered that he learned the story of an old woman [a Dafa practitioner] who did not blackmail for money when she was hit by a car. It would be wonderful if everyone were like that. After hearing this, the policeman had to give up.

Story 2. I met an old policeman in the street who told me about the reason why he is not in charge of the persecution of Falun Gong anymore. He said, "I just can't stand looking at those policemen beating Falun Gong practitioners. Once they hit old women with very big sticks. It was indeed a miserable scene to behold! Now those policemen are all rich, 'cause they would take away even 50 cents from the Falun Gong practitioners. That is so mean! A peasant practitioner could not afford the fine when his detention term expired, so he was sentenced to another two years in jail. What kind of deal is this? I couldn't stand [watching] it, so I asked to be transferred to another work unit."

Practitioners in Changchun City showed millions of viewers the truth about Falun Gong through the local TV network, and eventually enabled the people in China to see the brutality of Jiang's evil regime. However, Jiang's gang ordered them to be killed and he ordered a death list to be made up by the internal government under his control. This is like the Nazi Gestapo who murdered the innocent.

Reference material: The Trial of former Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milosevic by the International Court at Hague clearly broke the vicious cycle of "commit crimes under the name of a country, and get away under the name of a country." Milosevic was brought to the court for his specific responsibilities as a member of a crime-committing group. Recently, the international court is planning to address issues like the Balkan Peninsula conflict, the Rwandan tribe group slaughtering. Officials of the Chinese government who are still seriously violating human rights, you too will be held responsible for the crimes you have committed in the name of country.

Experience Sharing among Practitioners

How can one become a good person? In only a few years, Falun Gong has elevated the moral standards of millions of people and changed them into better people. Even very bad people have become good people. Falun Gong teaches people to be good by eliminating the bad thoughts and evil characters from their roots through cultivation. Based on a self-controlling mechanism from deep inside people's heart, the good deeds do not originate from outside control, but are natural results of cultivating one's heart. Only by conforming to the cosmic principle of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance," can one truly become a good person.

My Fa-rectification cultivation experiences: On July 23, 2000, I went to Beijing to validate Dafa. Because of my fear, I did not succeed in what I wanted to do. Instead, I was arrested and tortured brutally. I went through the tribulations with a determined mind. Later on, I was forced to become homeless, while I continued to clarify the truth to people. On Feb 8, 2002, I went to Beijing again. This time, I eliminated the interferences and reached Beijing smoothly. At Tiananmen Square, I unfurled a banner and spoke out while running, "Falun Dafa is good!" When I turned around, I discovered that the police had not come in my direction. With Teacher's help, I accomplished the great deed.

Walking out of the "brainwashing class" with the help of righteous thoughts: In March 2000, I was forced to become homeless to avoid being arrested. One year later, the persecutors arrested me and put me into a "brainwashing class". I did not cooperate with the evil's requirements and orders and went on a hunger strike to protest. On the morning of the 6^th day, the guards who were watching me went to sleep. I sent forth righteous thoughts to keep them from moving and asked Teacher to help me. Putting my clothes on, I walked out of the "brainwashing class" with dignity.

91 people solemnly declared today that any speech or act conducted under brainwashing or persecution that was incompatible with the Dafa standard, was considered void. We will redouble our efforts to compensate for what has been done, to tell the truth to people, and catch up with Master's Fa rectification progress.

Nanguan District in Changchun City illegally tried Falun Gong practitioners on March 6. Fire engines moved to the city court area beginning at 5 am, cleared up Dafa banners and erased Dafa statements on the wall. Police cars lined up on both sides of the street. Around 9 am, police began the curfew and started to arrest people. People said: "The police are crazy. They'll arrest anybody. Everyone looks to them like a Falun Gong practitioner."

The evil force could only harm my body, but could not sway my determination in upholding the truth. To validate Dafa, I have suffered all sorts of persecution in the past two years. I was kidnapped into the labor camp, shocked with electric batons, beaten with a barbed baton, tied up with ropes, hung up with handcuffs, handcuffed from the back as well as in a crouching position, punished to stand, and put in solitary confinement. I was tortured nearly to death, but I have always insisted on upholding the truth, and being steadfast in my belief.

Radio Free Asia reported on March 8 that ten Australian Falun Gong practitioners who had demonstrated at Tienanmen square were expelled from China. One of them was a former team member of the Australian national swim team to the Olympics. She said that there might be athletes or audience members that practice Falun Gong who will attend the 2008 Olympics in China, but the international Olympic Committee did not apply pressure to compel China to promise to ensure their safety.
