(Radio France Internationale, April 25) On the third anniversary of the April 25 Zhongnanhai appeal by ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners, a woman in Mainland China was arrested by police for protesting on Tiananmen Square. Many members of the French Green Party attended the Falun Gong news conference that called on France and all countries in the European Union to exert pressure on the Chinese Government to stop the suppression of Falun Gong. Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans frontieres RSF) also reported this week that China had detained nine Falun Gong practitioners who broadcasted the documentary film "Falun Dafa, The Real Story" through cable TV.

Falun Dafa practitioners in Macao sent forth the righteous thoughts together on April 25 and distributed truth-clarifying materials. Many plainclothes police walked around nearby, monitoring the practitioners. Some practitioners were followed around for the entire day.

From a Falun Dafa practitioner in Latvia: "My parents did not like the idea of my traveling to attend the Falun Dafa conference in Geneva. This was because I lacked sufficient determination to go to Geneva. Once I enlightened to this, I was then able to participate in the activities in Geneva as a Fa-rectification period Falun Dafa disciple."

Dafa practitioners in the Zhongli area in Taiwan did group exercises to commemorate the "April 25" incident. They felt that all practitioners are one entity, and they decided do group exercises, study the Fa and to send righteous thoughts at 5:00, 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. Beijing time every Sunday. They hope all practitioners will do better in the final stages of Fa-rectification.

Group Discussion

Truth, compassion and tolerance - an eyewitness account of the April 25, 1999 incident. I arrived at Fuyou Street at 6:30 in the morning. Many practitioners were already peacefully waiting near Beijing University Hospital. There were also many police officers. One police officer came over and asked us to follow him. We followed him in orderly group(s), walking from north to south Fuyou Street and stood in an orderly fashion along the wall of Zhongnanhai. Soon, the police asked us to walk across the street. Quietly, we stayed on the sidewalk for a whole day. At around 10:00 p.m. the news spread that practitioners who were arrested in Tianjin City were released, so we left slowly and in an orderly manner.

Latest News From China

Today, 50 people published their solemn declarations, announcing that all that they have written, said and done under the evils' forced brainwashing and high-pressure persecution that doesn't conform to Dafa is completely void. From now on, they will dedicate their lives to making up for the loss they caused to Dafa, clarifying the truth to people and catching up with Teacher's Fa rectification process.
