On May 19, 2002, CCTV's "Focal Point" once again slandered Falun Dafa by showing the "self-immolation" propaganda and talking about brainwashing. In reality, who is brainwashing whom?
Since its introduction in 1992, Falun Gong activities have always been open to the public, and never have had any form of organization. People practice Falun Dafa whenever they want to and come and go of their own free will. Never has any pressure or force been used. The assistants at all practice sites are volunteers and do not collect any money, nor do they accept gifts. Everyone is equal and everything is voluntary. Practitioners only try to tell people that Falun Dafa is good, and share with them the benefits it has brought them. Each individual chooses whether to learn it or not himself. Mr. Li Hongzhi says, "Dafa cultivation practice is always voluntary. Never force anyone to participate in cultivation practice.("Dafa Will Forever be Pure Like Diamond", Essentials for Further Advancement)" This is obvious to all.
In order to control the Chinese people's minds, Jiang violates the Chinese constitution along with human rights to inhumanly persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. He has blocked anything that might have something good to say about Falun Dafa, including TV stations and websites. Jiang oppresses Falun Gong with his police force, and forcefully brainwashes the practitioners. Still not being able to achieve his goal, he has given the order to "politically ruin, economically destroy, and physically eliminate [Falun Gong practitioners]."
In his attempts to make practitioners give up practicing Falun Gong, Jiang ordered the police to violate the law, and forced or tempted them to become dishonorable, turning them into heartless thugs.
During the persecution of Falun Gong, the evil people have insulted, arbitrarily beaten, and even inhumanly raped female practitioners. In brainwashing classes, the evil tries to instill immoral lies into the practitioners' minds, and even forces them to watch pornographic videotapes. They also deny the practitioners sleep for days on end. When all of these methods of mental torture fail, these thugs inhumanly send Falun Gong practitioners into mental hospitals to be injected with neurotoxic drugs. According to incomplete statistics, more than 400 practitioners are confirmed to have been murdered.
In order to control billions of Chinese people's minds, Jiang uses the media to slander Falun Gong. However, people have become more and more disgusted by his clown-like behavior and his persecution of Falun Gong, and his evil deeds are constantly being discovered by more and more people around the world.
