Falun Gong is freely practiced in more than 50 countries around the world, but relentlessly persecuted in China. The peaceful courage of practitioners there has shocked their oppressors and moved the people of the world. While China continues to block all information, FGMtv brings you the stories you may not hear anywhere else.

Why did those 10,000 people gather near the government compound in Beijing three years ago?

á

Here is what actually happened:

- A few days prior to the incident, people in the nearby city of Tianjin had been beaten and detained while visiting the office of a local newspaper to clarify the truth regarding accusations that were made in a slanderous article.

- The paper had initially concluded they had made a mistake and offered to rectify the situation.

- Soon after, however, officials in Tianjin were contacted by Beijing officials and instructed to tell people there that they must take their appeal to the State Council Appeals Office in Beijing.

- Word soon spread to nearby regions and people came individually and in groups, to the State Council Appeals Office in Beijing where they were then directed by police and government officials to line up along the streets next to Zhongnanhai, the Central Government compound.

- The people quietly agreed and proceeded to wait with no banners, and no slogans, for their appeal to be heard.

- Soon, the demonstrators were given an opportunity to make their appeal, those detained in Tianjin were released, and all the people around Zhongnanhai went home quietly, satisfied that their legal appeal had been handled properly by the government officials.

FGMtv offers its congratulations to practitioners in SAIPAN, on the occasion of the founding of the Saipan Falun Dafa Association on April 18, 2002.

Saipan, with a population of over 39,000, is one of the Northern Mariana Islands in the West Pacific Ocean. Until 1990, it was the headquarters of the U.S.-administered U.N. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. People there have been practising Falun Gong since 1996.

Moving now to the island of Guam, just a few hundred miles away from Saipan...

Unlike Saipan, most of the citizens of Guam are not familiar with Falun Dafa. One practitioner there arranged for a permit in the Chinese Park and on April 20th, 19 practitioners from Taiwan arrived for two-day blitz of showing and teaching the exercises, reading, meditation and sharing experiences. The locals enjoyed the bright banners, music and opportunity to learn something new and good... including this woman in a store who promised to come and learn all the exercises... after work!
