Falun Dafa practitioners from Singapore congratulate the Ireland Falun Dafa Association's founding.

On February 1, 2002, practitioners from Tainan held a 3-and-a half-day winter vacation study camp at Tainan Institute. Attendance exceeded the original projection by 33%. Children from 7 to 16 years old listened Teacher's 9-day lectures during the camp. They also read Dafa books, sang Dafa songs, told Fa-rectification stories and shared cultivation experiences with each other.

55 practitioners solemnly declared that because they were under intense pressure and brutal persecution, all of what they had said or written that were not in accordance with the Fa are totally null and void. An elementary school pupil solemnly declared that his signature given under his school's threat of expulsion is null and void. He declared that he would redouble his efforts to remedy the damage he caused, clarify the truth to people, expose the evil and be a genuine cultivator.

I was illegally detained at the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City. After I was tortured there for 20 months, the labor camp authorities were afraid that if I died there, they'd be held responsible, so they sent me to the Tiebei Police Hospital in Jilin Province by force and extorted money from my family. They immobilized me on the bed with handcuffs and shackles, brutally beat me and forcibly administered unknown drugs until I was again tortured to the verge of death.

China's ruling dictator's criminal group again escalated its brutal murder and torture of Falun Gong practitioners. These enforcers' insanity is horrific to behold and exasperates people and God alike! Recently, numerous traffic accidents took place in China. Within half a month around the Chinese New Year, ninety-two people died from traffic accidents. On February 4, a truck in Shenyang City fell into a freezing-cold river and 4 people died.

A son's course of safeguarding the Fa. I started cultivation practice after I witnessed my mother's profound changes after she cultivated Dafa. In February 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and as a result, I was illegally detained. Because I practiced Falun Gong at the detention center, my hands and feet were shackled together for five days, and I was violently beaten. I was arrested again when I hung a loudspeaker on a 80-meter high tower at a TV station to broadcast Dafa radio. I have suffered various brutal tortures and gone on hunger strikes.

My mother was born in an intellectual family. Before she obtained the Fa, she had been suffering several kinds of diseases. She became healthy after practicing cultivation. She follows Teacher's words and does everything very well. After July 1999, my mother went to legally appeal for Falun Gong and to clarify the truth to people. She was then arrested. Faced with threats of violence and promises of freedom, my mother always uses the Fa to direct her words and deeds.

Not long ago, the police ransacked my home and kidnapped me to a brainwashing class. I firmly believed in Dafa and Teacher. I often recited Teacher's articles and the verses to eliminate the evil, deter interference, and completely break through the arrangements of the old evil forces. Later I returned home safely.

An open letter to the Chinese students and scholars in Scotland: Loving one's country is a totally different thing than loving the rulers of the country. Jiang's regime slanders and suppresses Falun Gong, causing the deaths of 365 Falun Gong practitioners, including an 8 month-old baby. The one that persecutes the good must be evil. It is Jiang's group that is persecuting its citizens; it is not that the people do not love their country.
