A Falun Gong Practitioner's Speech to the European Parliament's "Democracy, Freedom and the Internet" Conference: "The Internet and State-Terrorism in China"

"Clearly, the Internet can serve as an effective tool for a totalitarian regime to engage in state-terrorism, as well as a vehicle to promote human rights and freedoms. The open and free flow of information is essential in building a transparent, civil society. With that in mind, we cannot help but ask these questions:
  • Why is Beijing so afraid of the public having access to all available information?
  • Why is it so important for this totalitarian regime to silence the voices of Falun Gong, which it previously endorsed for more than 7 years?
  • What have the dictators done that they need to hide from the public?

    The Case of Zhen Wenqin

    Female Dafa practitioner Zhen Wenqin was an accountant at the Art Troupe of Zhaoyuan County, Daqing City. On May 11, 2002, Zhen Wenqin and practitioner Feng Jinbo were kidnapped by vicious police and sent to Sartu District Police Department. After these two practitioners were hung and tortured in handcuffs for three days of interrogation, the Politics and Security Division of Zhaoyuan County Police Department took them to a local detention center. Four days later, they were transferred to Zhaoyuan County Detention Center. Ms. Zhen held a hunger strike from the very beginning to protest the illegal treatment. Three days after she was transferred to the detention center, Ms. Zhen was tortured to death by force-feeding.

    Concluding Statement in Court from Huang Baohua, A Falun Dafa Practitioner from Jiangxi Province

    November 6, 2001

    (Clearwisdom.net)

    Hello, everyone!

    First, I would like to take this opportunity to wash clean the stain on my path of cultivation. From February 11, 2001 to February 20, 2001, police from Xihu in Nanchang City of Jiangxi Province brutally beat me and deprived me of my right to sleep. Being threatened severely, deceived, and put under great pressure, I was temporarily confused. I said what a cultivator should not--that I would stop practicing Falun Gong. Afterwards, I awoke with deep regrets. I know that I had attachments and that these were taken advantage of. Therefore, I firmly declare today: I have benefited from my five years of cultivation. Falun Dafa is the great law of the cosmos. Cultivation is a person's own affair, and no one has the right to prevent that. Every Dafa practitioner is responsible to himself, and voluntarily does what he should do. Clarifying the truth to people is saving and showing mercy for all sentient beings.
