From these and many other incidents we can see that this persecution is not just happening “over there”. A growing awareness and concern for this problem in our country could play a significant part in eliminating this wicked interference in the democratic lives of Australians.
As a law study professional and lawyer in China, I witnessed this tragedy. Conscience drove me to use the law to completely expose the violation of the constitution and illegality of the Jiang dictatorial regime’s bloody persecution.
It’s a great misfortune to have a disability or an incurable disease. While seeing that others are healthy and full of energy, these people can only endure excruciating pain brought about by their illness. People often complain to the heavens for the injustice they seem to suffer. They ask: “Why do I have to suffer misfortune?”
After SARS spread to many countries around the world and caused dozens of deaths, the state controlled media in China were finally allowed to reveal the extent of the epidemic. However, it has been at least four months since the initial report of this disease in Guangdong Province in China.
It has been reported from Beijing that Jiang and his cohorts have dispatched a “special envoy” to CCTV to supervise the coverage of the Iraqi war and of SARS.
On March 2, an editorial in the China Times stated that more and more people were starting to practice Falun Gong in Taiwan. Although not everyone believes in the practice, people could hardly dislike it, let alone hate it, since Falun Gong advocates “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance” and does not compete for material things. Falun Gong practitioners usually seem to be kind and treat others warmly.
You have ordered a crackdown on adherents of Falun Gong, and renewed it continuously over the span of nearly two years. You have ordered it be carried out to “break their spirits, bankrupt them, annihilate their bodies,” and “if they are killed, it will be counted as suicide.”
Members of the Falun Gong spiritual movement are a key target of the Chinese government’s ‘strike hard’ campaign against crime. Tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been arrested. Several dozen have been convicted and imprisoned after unfair trials. Thousands have been assigned, without any judicial process, to ‘re-education through labour’. And several hundred may have died as a result of torture.
Is it wrong to yield your seat to an old woman? Are you guilty when you strive to speak the truth and be a good person? We hope that more and more people will come to see the truth and help the persecuted Falun Gong practitioners in China find justice.
I am an Australian painter, who holds exhibitions all over the world. I have exhibited my paintings in over 40 countries and more than 100 cities. I have held exhibitions in the United States Congress Hall, the European Parliament, Canada and New Zealand. Governors and Mayors have been to view the art exhibitions and I have received strong support, encouragement and even free promotion from people in various countries.
