(Minghui.org) Many Falun Gong practitioners who had filed lawsuits against Jiang Zemin have recently been visited and questioned by local authorities. Whenever the authorities do this, they're abusing their power. However, we can take this opportunity to tell them about Falun Gong and the persecution, and stand up for our right to file the lawsuits. Everything we do is leaving an example for the future.
According to criminal procedural rules, the People's Procuratorate should be the one to register and investigate major criminal cases. In addition, Procuratorate personnel should gather testimony from witnesses. Two investigators must be assigned to each case. When investigators meet witnesses, such as Falun Gong practitioners, they are required to show their ID.
Since Master has allowed us to use the legal system to bring Jiang to justice, we should be aware of the laws and whether our rights are being violated. Master's compassion has also given the investigators an opportunity to learn the facts of Falun Gong and the persecution.
When we're harassed by the authorities, we should not only tell them those things but also clearly point out that they're violating the law.
I remember a fellow practitioner telling a policeman that Falun Gong is not listed as one of the “fourteen evil cults” in Document #39. The policeman was surprised to hear that and wasn't aware that the persecution lacks a legal basis.
We need to keep the laws in our minds during truth-clarification, experience sharing, and discussions. Whenever we propose a new idea, we need to measure it against Dafa's principles and the laws in society, so that we won't risk misleading fellow practitioners or being taken advantage of by the old forces.
The above is my personal understanding. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
