December 2007

Artistic Performances That Embody Traditional Chinese Culture [19.12.2007]

During an interview, NTDTV President Li Zhong said, "Divine Performing Arts performances convey purity, kindness and beauty, which can inspire people's longing for goodness from the depths of their hearts. As the performances promote traditional art, they resonate deeply with our audiences."

Using the Olympics as a Grounds for Extending the Persecution [17.12.2007]

Guard Yue Qingjin sent me there, and he shouted at me, "You are against the bid for the Olympics. You don't love your country and resist reformation. Even if we kill you, we'll claim that you committed suicide." Several guards put me on a cotton quilt and tied my four limbs down with strips of fabric. They yanked the strips in four different directions, causing an unbelievable amount of pain. They shocked me with electric batons, shouted at me and ordered me to give up my belief. When they saw that I was about to faint, they stopped and forced me to drink some water. They continued shocking me, I lost consciousness after another half an hour or so.

Chinese Communist Party Prohibits Citizens from Legally Appealing to the Central Government [15.12.2007]

The document followed the stipulations from its upper level government, stating, "All those who go to the central government to complain (the so-called "disturbing visiting") should be punished and the officials have the right to punish, issue a fine, or even send them to a forced labor camp." The document further states: "All those promoting democracy or practicing Falun Gong are enemies and should be punished."

People in China Show Support for the Truth [07.12.2007]

One friend passed the software on to all of his friends. Another friend said to me, "You Falun Gong people are great." He shared the CD with his old friends in the army. Some of his friends told him that they visited the dynamic websites (websites that allow people in China to access Internet sites blocked by the Chinese government) every night before they went to bed.

Saying Goodbye to Insomnia [01.12.2007]

On average, I got an hour of sleep per night. Every night as it came close to bed time I would start to feel anxious. I tried hard to sleep but I could never drop-off. This insomnia tormented me, and each day felt like a year. I went to many hospitals for treatment but to no avail. I took different sleeping pills and exercised more, but nothing worked. I almost lost the confidence to continue living.

November 2007

Plaintiff's Open Letter to the People of Australia [29.11.2007]

My name is Pan Yu; I am responsible for the suing of former Chinese Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai for acts of torture upon myself. As Bo failed to provide a defence for the case, on the 5th of November, 2007 the New South Wales Supreme Court in Sydney issued a default judgement in my favour. The court ruled that I had won the case, and that I could claim compensation against Bo for the injuries inflicted upon my person.

"You Must Be a Falun Gong Practitioner" [27.11.2007]

When I arrived at the store, the salesclerk asked me what I wanted to buy. I replied, "I've come to return your tape." The clerk immediately asked, "You are a Falun Gong practitioner, aren't you?" Been quite shocked I asked her how she knew. She said, "Except for Falun Gong practitioners, no one else would take the effort to return something." We both started to laugh.

Two Telemarketing Calls Illustrate a Change in Public Opinion [26.11.2007]

the lady said, "I studied Arts and am quite familiar with the history of China. The CCP has grown to be so frenzied, losing its conscience. Its fate is to perish and nothing else. After Jiang Zemin (former head of the Party) stepped down, his faction wanted to maintain its evil governing role. Hu and Wen dared not redress Falun Gong; otherwise, if the people of China came to know the truth about the persecution, the CCP wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Attending Falun Gong Lectures in China, 1994 [24.11.2007]

Teacher always arrived at the auditorium early and after the lecture, Teacher would patiently answer practitioners' questions. I saw that Teacher was very nice and pleasant, dressed in a white shirt. He never wasted time talking about useless things. Without a single introductory sentence he would say, "Now let's begin."

The Epoch Times: CBC Airs Falun Gong Documentary With Edits [23.11.2007]

Ansley says he regrets the CBC "took things out that would have added to the film," including his quote comparing the Beijing Olympics to Hitler's 1936 Berlin Games. "That particular quotation was innocuous really except that it was one of the most upsetting things to Beijing because it dealt with the Olympics."

United Kingdom: Falun Gong Practitioners Hold Activity in Manchester's China Town [18.11.2007]

Falun Gong practitioners in and around the city of Manchester have been gathering together and holding activities to introduce Falun Gong and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s crimes against the practice in different cities across the UK. On the 11th of November, practitioners went to Manchester's China Town to do just that.

A Renowned Chinese Journalist in France: Wang Zhaojun breaks China’s Falun Gong Taboo [18.11.2007]

When interviewed by our reporter on October 31st, 2007, former Radio France International (RFI) Chinese department director and veteran news journalist Wu Baozhang said that this letter is very meaningful, because Wang Zhaojun pointed out the issues avoided by all the documents of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Mr. stressed that this letter may be the turning point of ending the persecution against Falun Gong and the turning point of democratising China.

CIPFG Statement Regarding the Chinese Communist Party's Statement About Falun Gong and the 2008 Beijing Olympics [18.11.2007]

The response made by Li Zhanjun, News Director of the Beijing Olympics is in direct and obvious violation of the fifth article of the Olympic Charter, "Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement." This further proves that the Chinese Communist Party has and will not fulfill its promise to the international community of bettering its human rights.

Ms. Xiaomei's New Life [17.11.2007]

Ms. Xiaomei is from Yushu, Jilin Province. In the autumn of 2006, swelling on both sides of Xiaomei's neck developed and grew bigger and bigger. Her head and neck hurt. Her family collected money from every family member and took her to the hospital. Medical experts all agreed that she had aneurysms. According to the experts, there was little hope for her recovery. Even after surgery, she would likely be disabled, and she would need to travel to Tiantai Hospital in Beijing for surgery. The surgery alone would cost nearly 100,000 yuan.

Do Not Miss the Chance to Read this Sacred Book [17.11.2007]

While I was at home unemployed this year, out of curiosity I read Zhuan Falun three or four times without stopping. Amazingly, miracles happened to me, too. The illness from which I had suffered, which had not improved after taking medications and injections for the past 30 years, was surprisingly cured, and my neurological condition also became normal. I just could not believe that Falun Gong could be so miraculous!

A Businessman in China's Anhui Province Calls for an End to the Persecution of Falun Gong [14.11.2007]

On November 3rd, one week after Mr. Wang Zhaojun, standing member of the Anhui Province Political Consultative Commission, wrote an open letter to Chinese leaders Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, Jurist and Board Chairman Zheng Cunzhu of Jiahe Food Co. Ltd. in Anhui Province also published an open letter to Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. In the letter he requested immediate political reforms at the city and county levels and an end to the persecution of Falun Gong. He called for more people to stand up and speak out.

The Epoch Times: CBC Pulls TV Documentary After Pressure From Chinese Envoy [12.11.2007]

"I'm pretty sure Stephen Harper is not happy about this," a government official said on condition of anonymity. "Last week, the prime minister stands up to Chinese threats and meets with the Dalai Lama. This week, the CBC kowtows to Chinese threats and brings Chinese-style censorship to Canada--one day after Harper's hand-picked CBC president is announced."

The Epoch Times: Canadian Film Documentary Probes Falun Gong Persecution in China [08.11.2007]

Rowe, who produces the "Angry Planet" series for OLN, says Red Wall was three years in the making. He commends the CBC for taking on such a controversial topic, especially in light of the fact that the network has broadcast rights to the 2008 Beijing Olympics in Canada.

Minghui Focus TV Programme Transcript: Why Falun Gong Practitioners Interrupt TV Broadcasts in China [07.11.2007]

The most direct, confrontational and peaceful protest might be none other but that of Falun Gong. As an example, let us look at the incident of tapping into the cable TV system; after eight practitioners died from torture, they did not give up this form of protest. More incidents of tapping into TV cable systems around China have since take place.

The Chinese Communist Party's "Sixth Penalty" [07.11.2007]

But in the realities of the Chinese Communist system, there is another, more frightening, penalty: re-education through forced labour. Re-education through forced labour is different from prison terms, since it is far more arbitrary, decided entirely by administrative staff. In prison, a person's term may be reduced, but not extended without trial

Founding a Country On Morality [06.11.2007]

The reality is, nobody believes in "Marxism", "Leninism", "Mao Tse-tung's Thoughts", and "The Three Represents" anymore, including people at the highest positions of the regime. These have also been condemned worldwide for the damage they have done. The "Three Represents" is even more reviled, and its inclusion into the Chinese Ccommunist Party's Constitution is another sign of its inevitable end.

High Level Official in China Advocates Cessation of Falun Gong Persecution [05.11.2007]

Mr. Wang Zhaojun, a standing member of the Anhui Province Political Consultative Commission in China, recently wrote an open letter to Chinese leaders Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao stating that Falun Gong is the most urgent issue for China. Wang pointed out in the letter that the most urgent issue is to stop the persecution against Falun Gong and provide state compensation for the victims.

A Falun Gong Practitioner's Brother in China Speaks His Heart [05.11.2007]

I applaud Falun Gong because those who practise it pursue "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" and do nothing but good deeds. I never believed the propaganda on TV, such as the so-called self-immolation, the killings, and suicides. I know my sister very well, and she and her fellow practitioners are all good people. It is impossible for them to do anything bad. But I am very disgusted with the Chinese Communist Party. This government has been persecuting kind people, commiting the most horrible crimes.

Policemen and 610 Office Agents in China Receive Karmic Retribution [02.11.2007]

Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionate reminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing. While many of those who persecute Falun Gong are merely "following orders," the universal law requires that they too be held responsible for their actions, and that only by reversing their course of wrongdoing may they escape retribution.

Personal Experiences from Sweden’s Human Rights Torch Relay: “I did something meaningful today.” [02.11.2007]

This was an extraordinary parade with people of all ages from white haired old men to young children - flyer distributors, runners, bicycle riders and families in their cars followed. They were from different races and genders, but came for the same purpose: to call for an immediate end to persecution in China.

A Family in North Korea Finds Falun Dafa and Their Illnesses Disappear [01.11.2007]

In 2004, Xingcheng (alias), an old man from North Korea, went to China to visit his aunt and uncle, both Falun Dafa practitioners. They were in their seventies, but very healthy. Xingcheng was very envious. He is poor and had to stay busy collecting things to bring back to North Korea, so he didn't find time to learn the exercises, but he did remember one thing: "Falun Dafa is good!" Soon, his serious stomach problem disappeared. Every day he felt he had so much energy. He often walked long distances instead of taking transport. His neighbours all thought it was a miracle.

October 2007

Chinese Communist Party Shuts Down Organ Transplant Website and Arrests Japanese Organ Broker in China [28.10.2007]

Obtaining fresh organs in China is disturbingly easy and quick, especially when you consider that in all other parts of the world people have to wait years for an organ transplant. Experts say that the only possible explanation is that a huge number of living people are used as convenient organ sources.

"We Want to Help Others Learn the Truth and Quit the CCP Too" [25.10.2007]

As soon as I sat down, my cousin's husband told me, "About the Nine Commentaries you gave us, I have recommended it to several close friends." I asked him, "Have you quit the CCP? I can help you with it if you want." They told me they had already quit."We thought about this quite a while ago. The CCP will be over sooner or later, since it is so corrupt. We do not want to pay the CCP membership fee, but it is deducted from our salary."

Classical Views in Science Challenged - A New World View is Evolving [21.10.2007]

Quantum entanglement supports the existence of "spooky action at a distance," which was considered suspect by Albert Einstein. Quantum entanglement surpasses the four dimensional space we live in and is not limited by it. It is nonlocal and tells us that, in some dimensional spaces in the universe, there exists the possibility of some kinds of interaction among all things.

Karmic Retribution--The Disastrous Demise of the Persecutors [21.10.2007]

Each time we publish news of this nature, we do so with heavy hearts. These people started off as public servants, but under the intense pressure applied by the wicked former Party head, Jiang Zemin and his regime, they were pushed into persecuting those who practise Falun Gong. In the process of destroying the lives of kind, law-abiding citizens, they have sealed their own fates and inevitably faced karmic retribution as punishment.

The Chinese Communist Party's Extreme Fear of Its Impending Doom Manifests in "Safe Stable" Work Meetings [21.10.2007]

Liaoning Province has dispatched more than 400 police vehicles to Beijing, and Shandong Province has dispatched more than one thousand police vehicles to Beijing to pick up people from their regions making appeals. All districts in Beijing have strengthened their patrol troops, and community patrol guards with red bands on their arms have appeared everywhere.

Retibution for Police That Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners in China [21.10.2007]

Here we want to warn those organisations and related personnel of the 'Gestapo' like 610 Office, who actively participate in the persecution of practitioners in that area, that heaven is exterminating the Communist Party. Do not let lies and deceptions mislead you. Do not allow yourself to be seduced by superficial, personal interests to commit crimes and ruin your future. Good will be rewarded with good; evil will receive retribution. This is a heavenly rule, and only can you, yourself, decide your fate.

A Senior Policeman in China with Thirty Years' Experience Speaks His Mind [19.10.2007]

We should serve people benevolently. However, at present, police working in China don't fulfill their roles. Instead they do immoral things they are not supposed to do, such as intimidating Chinese citizens on behalf of politicians at all levels of government. They arrest citizens who do not follow the planned pregnancy policy, they forcibly relocate citizens, they intercept citizens who attempt to appeal, and they persecute Falun Gong practitioners.

Export Products Made with Slave Labor at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp--We Call On the International Community to Take Action to Bring this Evil Den to Justice [18.10.2007]

To gain time for delivering orders, the same people who processed toxic products for export were also made to peel garlic at the same time. The unprocessed bagged garlic was emptied onto the contaminated work areas, or on the ground, which was covered with poisonous chemical residue and dust and gravel. After the garlic had been peeled, the cloves were placed into the same bowls and basins that previously contained toxic arts and crafts materials, and which had not been sanitized.

A Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary for a Research Institutes Quits His Party Membership [17.10.2007]

As soon as he heard me mention Falun Gong, he said, "The government has told us to have the same view about Falun Gong as they do. Let's not talk about this any more." I said, "I am sure that many of your college classmates also practice Falun Gong. It is a matter of personal belief. Falun Gong practitioners are persecuted and tortured inhumanely just because they practice according to the principles of 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.' Don't you sympathize with them?" He did not reply.

Miraculously Escaping the Rage of a Stampeding Bull [16.10.2007]

Since the bull was directly heading toward my mother, the situation was critical. Once a fighting bull dashes at someone, it's extremely rare for it to back away, and would gore the person’s body with its horns. My father was so shocked that he didn’t know what to do. When he started to shake the collapsed iron fence frantically trying to distract the beast’s attention, the fighting bull had already pulled up at the back of my mother.

Believe in Teacher and the Principles Taught in Falun Gong [09.10.2007]

At this point, a French practitioner said to me “Don’t change your mind. Don’t back down. They are thinking only of themselves. Light the torch. Don’t wait.” This gave me so much more confidence and determination for lighting the torch. When the torches were lit in the dark, all the media was focused on the torches. So many people there were in tears. The police didn’t cut off the electricity either.

Are You Concerned? [06.10.2007]

Tonight, during the Mid-autumn Festival, the moon is whole and round. Yet, how many deservedly whole families have been fragmented? Under the moonlight, how many elderly are remembering children who have been persecuted to death and how many children are still waiting to be re-united with their imprisoned parents? People of the world, are you not concerned for them?

The Truth Spreads Widely; People in Mainland China Enthusiastically Quit the Chinese Communist Party [02.10.2007]

A middle-aged man named Zhe Yu in Qinghai Province wrote, "I live in a corrupt environment, and I couldn't help but witness and participate in many things that go against my conscience. After I read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, my mind was awakened by the ongoing historic change."

September 2007

Police Officers In China Don't Wish to be Involved in the Persecution [30.09.2007]

The police officer smiled at Lao Tian and said, "Lao Tian, we all know that you learn and practise this belief, and we don't care. Also, you are allowed to pay your respects to your Master's photo. When you read the book, you display your Master's photo, but when you do not read the book, could you hide your Master's photo? Would this be ok?" Lao Tian did not say anything, and the police ceased their requests.

Declaration of Withdrawal from the Chinese Communist Party by an Agent of the Chinese '610 Office' [29.09.2007]

I am a 610 Office agent (working on the Falun Gong issue) at the Shengli Oil Field in Heilongjiang Province, China. Through my contact with Falun Gong practitioners who persist in their belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance", as well as my experience in attempting to "transform"1 practitioners, I have made the decision to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and all of its affiliated associations.

A Chinese Nurses Experiences of Practising Falun Gong Under the Persecution [29.09.2007]

Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Di is a nurse from Dehui City of Jilin Province in China. Several years of ruthless persecution has left her paralysed, but she persevered in her cultivation and was once again able to walk. The following is her experience.

Regret for Persecuting Falun Gong [28.09.2007]

After listening to his peers, this villager agreed that he had gone too far. He said, "The Falun Dafa practitioner came such a long way to distribute the material to save us. I hit him and threatened him, but he holds no resentment against me. Apparently, this practitioner is a good person!" He asked another villager to find the practitioner and offer his apology, and to tell him that he had come to understand the truth after reading the literature.

Prisoner in China Witnesses Brutal Persecution and Learns the Truth About Falun Dafa [24.09.2007]

We were to keep a close eye on her and not let her casually speak with anyone. We had to keep track of everything she did and report it to the captain. Otherwise we would be penalized. But this Falun Gong lady looked very kind and so we couldn't understand why we should keep an eye on her.

610 Officials, Party Secretaries and Other Officials in China Quit the Chinese Communist Party [24.09.2007]

They regret that they had done a lot of bad things under the influence of the Party's evil culture, things that were detrimental for the people and country. In particular, after the CCP's evildoings of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners had been revealed, many people whose conscience was still intact have quit the Party one after another.

Secretary of the Political and Judicial Committee and His Entire Family Quit the Chinese Communist Party After Hearing the Truth [20.09.2007]

On New Year's Day in 2006, someone reported to him that they had found Falun Gong fliers. The secretary sternly talked to that person and told him to keep this to himself. At the end of the year, staff from the 'Gestapo' like 610 Office came to ask about the local situation with regards to Falun Gong. He told them that there was nothing to report as he didn't want any practitioners to be harassed.

If a Beggar's Organs Can be Taken While the Beggar is Still Alive... [14.09.2007]

With the progress of modern medicine, people's lives are becoming priceless to the Party. Beggars in torn clothes, people with mental retardation, prisoners that receive the death sentence, and Falun Gong practitioners that are illegally detained--those who used to be ignored by the Party are now precious. Actually, to put it more accurately, their lives are still worthless, but their bodies are precious.

The Chinese Communist Party's "People" Complex [12.09.2007]


Chinese government officials also frequently use the term "people" as a means to further fool the citizens of China. The Chinese Communist Party promoted Mao Zedong's quote that the government needs to "serve the people." In Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents" theory, Jiang said that the CCP should represent the people's interests. The current President of China, Hu Jintao also claims to adopt "people-centric" approaches.

After Continued Persecution of his Family and Himself, Human Rights Attorney, Mr. Gao Zhisheng Solemnly Declares He Does Not Acknowledge Government-Forced "Confession" [11.09.2007]

"...we have devised many ways to deal with you, including bringing your older brother here, forcing him to kneel in front of you until you have lowered your head. We will use all possible means and take as long as we need." Facing such inhuman tortures to my family members, I was forced to "agree" to admit that I was guilty, and "agree" to write a declaration that I would stop human rights activities. Finally, the police compiled--and I copied--the "regret letter" people saw later.

Investigation Leads: China's Director of the Medical and Administrative Department of the Health Ministry of China, Discloses a Large Number of Organ Transplants (and other leads) [07.09.2007]

Before this happened, the labour camp officials regularly made us undergo strict physical examinations. Looking back, Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp has probably participated in the illegal organ-harvesting for transplant scheme. At that time we did not know that the Chinese Communist Party was committing organ-harvesting crimes.
