Reports from Media

Central News Agency March 14 special dispatch: with the call for justice and great pressure from the international society, Ireland Falun Gong practitioner Zhao Ming was finally released on March 12 after almost two years of illegal detention in Beijing. Zhao Ming was often tortured by brutal beatings and electric shocks, and was forced to do extremely heavy labor and undergo forced brainwashing, but he always remained firm to his faith.

According to Apple Daily in a March 15 report, 16 Falun Gong peaceful sitting protesters were arrested:

On March 14, 4 Swedish practitioners and 12 Hong Kong practitioners sat outside the Chinese government's Liaison Office in Hong Kong in a hunger strike to support over 100 practitioners who were arrested in Changchun City. After the police received a complaint from the liaison office, they carried the 16 people away by force, claiming they blocked the traffic. During the conflict, eight practitioners were injured. This incident attracted the attention of the international society. Associated Press, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, British Financial Times, The Times, in addition to the BBC Online Report, all reported this incident.

Democratic Party legislature senator He Junren thinks that if the peaceful sitting didn't block the traffic, the police should give an explanation for clearing the practitioners out. Senator Yu Ruowei sighed, saying, "After Hong Kong returned to China, the government intervened more and more in appeals and protests, this phenomena is not healthy."

Happiness. Ordinary people's happiness needs to be supported by many things. When there is a sudden change in one's life, happiness would dry up like a leaf and be blown away by the wind. As a practitioner, I gradually experienced the true happiness in the cruel environment in which Dafa is persecuted: a true Dafa practitioner is indestructible!

Latest News From China

Today, 141 people published solemn announcements declaring that all that they have written, said and done under the evil's forced brainwashing and high-pressure persecution that didn't conform to Dafa is completely void. From now on, they will dedicate their lives to making up for the losses they caused to Dafa, clarifying the truth to people and catching up with Teacher's Fa-rectification process.

Criminal record of vicious thugs in Linyuan Town, Daqing City: Han Bingfa, Jin Changqing, Jin Qingguo from Linyuan Police Department, Wang Sheng, Li Zhengquan from Linyuan Oil Refinery Factory, Pang Xiangyang from "610 office" and Liu Yanqin, an elementary school teacher, illegally kidnapped, detained, sent to forced labor camps and extorted money from many Dafa practitioners. Evil deeds will be punished. Recently, Han Bingfa had a car accident and he suffered bleeding throughout his body. Pang Xiangyang is in the late period of liver cancer.

Wang used to be a loan shark. In the detention center, he met some practitioners who treated him with benevolence, explained the principles of Dafa and clarified the truth to him. Before long, Wang changed from cold and distant to being genuinely interested in Falun Gong. He started cultivating and doing the exercises. Within half a month, Wang has undergone dramatic changes and become a genuine practitioner. Good results came from his encounter with Dafa practitioners.

A spring trip to Tiananmen to clarify the truth about Dafa

On March 2, 14 practitioners unfurled 14 banners in Tiananmen and shouted "Falun Dafa is good! Return the innocence to Dafa! Return the innocence to our Teacher!" Their voices shocked and terrified the evil. Some of the onlookers shouted after them, and foreign tourists took pictures. All the practitioners were able to leave safely afterwards. It took them only 30 hours to make the round trip.

A letter to my brother: Falun Dafa is not a matter that came about accidentally. It affects each and every one of us in the world. It touches upon the most essential thing in human nature. One's understanding and judgment of Falun Dafa will have a deep impact on his future. Therefore I hope you can take this matter seriously.

News from Overseas

Truth Clarification Broadcast: The broadcasting of the truth of Falun Gong on the Changchun Cable TV Network on the night of March 5 not only broke through the Chinese regime's information blockade, but also directly exposed the monstrous crimes that the ferocious and despicable Jiang committed against kindhearted people. The broadcast shocked the whole world and gave Jiang a heavy blow. Jiang was so scared that he ordered police to "shoot [practitioners] without mercy."
