Dafa Practitioner Ms. Dai Chunhua Killed in Siping City Detention Center, Jilin Province

Heroes or Criminals: What is the Standard We Use to Measure a Just Action?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 5/28/2002 [ http://www.faluninfo.net/ ]

By Leeshai Lemish, contributing writer for the Falun Dafa Information Center

NEW YORK, May 28, 2002 (Falun Dafa Information Center) - Last week, four more Falun Gong practitioners were handed sentences of up to 16 years in prison for their "illegal" act of broadcasting programs that reveal the persecution of Falun Gong on state-run television. By broadcasting these programs, these individuals sought to counter inflammatory propaganda with facts and information about Falun Gong. For this, they have been sentenced to long jail terms where they will invariably face torture and other forms of brutal persecution in Chinese prisons. Thus, as those who sought to expose human rights abuses and give a voice to those who have none in China's state-run media are sent off to prison for their efforts, we ask who are the criminals and who are the victims?
