  • Singapore: Facing Unlawful Charges, Falun Gong Practitioners Continue Clarifying the Truth

    On January 22, the case against six Singapore practitioners, who are being charged with "assembly without permit", went to the first trial in court. The court refused to admit anyone to audit the trial, including family members, friends and media. The six practitioners resisted such a secret trial and were then imprisoned for two days. But Falun Gong practitioners didn't give in and still continue to clarify the truth of the persecution against Falun Gong and the organ harvesting atrocity to the public. They are also promoting the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and publicizing the trend of withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many citizens have learned the truth and are showing support for the practitioners.

    Citizens want to know more about Falun Gong

    Many people told practitioners that they have read the truth-clarifying materials and they want to know more about Falun Gong. Some people asked practitioners to increase the volume of the music, because they like the melody of Pudu and Jishi.

    At times, practitioners encountered police officers. Practitioners applied for a permit for displaying truth-clarifying boards last November, but some police departments did not reply and others rejected the application. Practitioners applied for a permit again recently. In the letter, practitioners pointed out that Singapore citizens display boards on the street without permits quite frequently, and the government have purposefully set up obstacles targeting practitioners, trying to keep them from clarifying the truth. Practitioners said that the persecution against Falun Gong is very brutal and inhumane. Every person who values justice should stand up and help to stop it. Practitioners hope that Singapore government officers will awaken. One of the purposes of the application letter was to obtain a permit to set up truth-clarifying displaying boards, and another purpose wsa to communicate with the government and improve their understanding of Falun Gong.

    During the unjust trial, six practitioners resisted such a secret trial and were then imprisoned for two days. With the help of people who value justice, practitioners were released 14 hours later and went back to the streets to clarify the truth.

    "I often see you guys passing out materials here. Why do you insist on doing it even under pressure from the government?"

    "Because the CCP harvests organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and eliminates the evidence. There are many people from Singapore accepting organ transplants in China. I want them to know about it. I also hope you can tell your friends and family about it."

    "Please give me some material then. I will tell my friends about it."

    Falun Gong practitioners in Singapore will keep clarifying the truth to the public until the persecution ends.

    Germany: Supporting 17 Million Withdrawals from the CCP

    Recently, during this warm winter, Europe was hit by a hurricane. As a result, many scheduled flights were canceled, trains stopped running, public transportation was paralyzed and schools suspended classes. This brought enormous inconvenience to people's lives. But by Friday evening everything was back to normal. On the evening of Saturday January 20, 2007, Munich was bustling as usual. Crowds of townsfolk and tourists filled Marlin Square. There were even more people than in the past. Some tourist groups from China also enjoyed the tranquility after the hurricane.

    ''Dear Chinese people: The CCP [Chinese Communist Party] will soon fall. This evil party has committed monstrous sins against all sentient beings and against gods. Gods must bring it to account.'' When the voice of The Sound of Hope Radio station echoed in the air of Marlin Square, people's attention was immediately drawn to our activity. Although many people didn't understand Chinese, they still came forward and encircled us, watching carefully as we exposed the CCP's atrocities and evil nature. When they learned about the CCP's organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, they reacted with shock and anger.

    People signed the petition urging the German government to condemn the CCP atrocities

    People learn the truth of the persecution

    Falun Gong practitioners in Munich displayed banners supporting the 17 million Chinese people withdrawing from the CCP and exposing the CCP's organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners. People from different countries stood in front of the information desk and waited patiently to sign their names on the petition to the German government, calling for an end to the CCP atrocities. One woman who signed the petition told a reporter that the CCP's behavior cannot be understood. She said that she cannot keep quiet about it and said that the atrocities must come to an end. There was another woman who used to live in Czechoslovakia. She told the reporter that she knows very well what is happening in China, because the communist party always does things like this.

    Falun Gong practitioners who joined the activity said that during this activity, more people than ever before were willing to take Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. People are yearning to hear about Falun Gong. Chinese tourist groups also quietly listened to excerpts from the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party broadcast by the Sound of Hope Radio. They also read the informational displays very carefully. They all accepted copies of the Nine Commentaries and other truth-clarification materials. Many people were willing to spend a long time talking with the Falun Gong practitioners about the importance of and methods for withdrawing from the CCP and its related organizations.
