Germany: Practitioners in Munich Call for the Urgent Rescue of Practitioners Detained in Jilin Province

On October the 30th, Dafa practitioners in Munich went to the Chinese Embassy to call for people to pay attention to efforts to stop the Jiang regime’s persecution of Falun Gong. Practitioners specifically called for support for several Falun Gong practitioners who are on a hunger strike in Jilin prison and for the release of Liu Chengchun, who participated in the interception of Changchun Cable Television signals and has been tortured to the extent that he is near death.

Appealing at the Chinese Embassy

According to reports on Yuanming [Chinese version of Clearharmony] over the past few days, the majority of the 100 plus Dafa practitioners who have been detained in Jilin prison are on hunger strike. They are protesting against the brutal persecution against them and all other Dafa practitioners. Among them, Liu Chengchun and Zheng Wei from Changchun are critically ill. According to reports that have been confirmed by the World Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), Liu Chengchun has been brutally persecuted in one of Jilin's prisons and is currently unconscious in hospital. After people worldwide learned about the hunger strike, Liu Chengchun was secretly transferred to Jilin central provincial hospital by the prison’s administration [the hospital is also known as the public security hospital or the labour re-education hospital].

The Jiang regime’s persecution of Falun Gong is built entirely on lies. Falun Gong practitioners in China have no normal channel or opportunity to express their opinion or expose the numan rights violations. The degree of brutality and the extent of this persecution have been covered by lies with ‘official propaganda’ and overlooked by those who do not know the truth. A vast number people in mainland China have been deeply affected by the propaganda. Many of those who do not know the truth believe the lies spread by the media and have a deep misunderstanding and even hatred towards Falun Gong.

In order to let more people come to understand Falun Gong, practitioners including Liu Chengchun, intercepted television signals to clarify the facts to people. This was an act of justice, great compassion, and courage. Yet, now they are being brutally persecuted. Because of this, Dafa practitioners in Munich demand that the Chinese government immediately stop the persecution of Falun Gong and release Liu Chengchun as well as all Falun Gong practitioners who have been detained.

This persecution of “Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance” is shameful disaster for humanity. Jiang Zemin and his accomplices do not even hesitate to threaten foreign governments and business that do not understand the facts in order to mislead them into joining their violation of human rights and their persecution of belief and conscience. The “incident of Iceland” and the recent “Mary Kay incident” are such examples.

Under pressure from the “610 Office", the Shengzhen office of the “Mary Kay” corporation requested all employees to sign an “affidavit of conduct”, clearly stating that they will not practise or support Falun Gong. If they do, they will lose their jobs. According to inside information from China, some employees and Mary Kay salespersons have lost their jobs because they refused to sign such an affidavit. Chinese authorities detained another employee during a meeting because of words in favour of Falun Gong. Currently this employee’s whereabouts are unknown. According to information received, other foreign companies with businesses in China have encountered similar pressure from the Jiang regime and have been forced to choose between dealing with Falun Gong or maintaining normal operation of their company.

Therefore, Dafa practitioners also called on the international community to pay attention to this brutal persecution of Falun Gong. It has already been largely overlooked; please lend us a helping hand to stop this persecution.
