Houston, USA: Falun Gong Practitioners Clarify the Truth to the Thai Consulate

Dec. 16, 2005 |   By Minghui/Clearwisdom reporter Shu Jing

(Clearwisdom.net) Representatives of the Falun Dafa Association in Houston and several Falun Gong practitioners went to the Thai Consulate in Houston to clarify the truth about Falun Gong on the afternoon of December 14, 2005.

The Falun Dafa Association delivered a letter to the consulate concerning the recent incident of Thai Police violating Falun Gong practitioners' human rights. The Thai official of the Thai Consulate didn't know about Falun Gong. Representatives of the Falun Dafa Association told him that Falun Gong is a peaceful practice consisting of gentle exercises, meditation, and self-improvement. Practitioners cultivate themselves by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been persecuting Falun Gong since July 20, 1999. Two women Falun Gong practitioners were recently raped by a CCP policeman. On hearing of this tragedy, Falun Gong practitioners in Thailand demonstrated in front of the Chinese Embassy to Thailand and distributed flyers to expose and protest against the rape. On December 10, International Human Right Day, several Thai policemen and vehicles entered the Chinese Embassy. Under instruction from the Chinese Embassy, dozens of policemen searched the Falun Gong practitioners' bags, dragged them away and snatched their banners. After the practitioners told the policemen about the persecution and the Chinese Embassy's role in it, some policemen said that they didn't harass them out of their own initiative. They said that it was the Chinese Embassy who asked them to do it.

Falun Gong practitioners in Houston told the Thai official about the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party," gave him a some introductory materials about Falun Gong, and told him about the evil nature of the CCP. The official gained a basic understanding about Falun Gong and the persecution. He said he would fax the letter to his government and give the other materials to the Thai Consul.

Falun Gong practitioners also gave the receptionist of the Thai Consulate some truth-clarification materials before they left.

What is Falun Gong? Falun Gong is a cultivation practice of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Since its introduction in China in May, 1992, these principles have won people's heart and improved their morality. Both the nation and the people have benefited greatly from it. More than 100 million people in more than seventy countries are practicing Falun Gong.

The chief perpetrator and former head of the CCP, Jiang Zemin, launched the persecution of Falun Gong out of jealousy on July 20, 1999. At least 2,790 practitioners have died from the persecution in the past six years. Executing the CCP's orders, police in China arbitrarily use tortures on Falun Gong practitioners without restraint, which has caused countless appalling tragedies around the nation. The recent rape of women Falun Gong practitioners by policeman is only a tiny part of the persecution. In addition, the CCP has extended the persecution overseas. The incidents in Iceland and Thailand are examples.

The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) announced that they will file investigation cases against the major responsible parties and individuals, further verify their crimes, and report their findings and evidence to the international courts, human rights organizations, and foreign governments. The WOIPFG will also file lawsuits against these individuals and expose their crimes. According to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Code, Item 212(a)(2)(G) stipulates that foreign government officials involved in violating freedom of religion during the last two years are not allowed to enter the United States. This statute extends to their family members and dependents as well. The WOIPFG will deliver the perpetrators' crime records to customs and immigration departments of various countries.

The incident of the Thai police violating Falun Gong practitioners' human right was inglorious. Falun Gong practitioners hope that the Thai government won't associate itself with the CCP, which has been constructed on lies and atrocities.
