Arrested for being a Good Person?
A Prisoner
(Clearwisdom.net) Charged with theft, I was arrested and brought to a
police station. In fact I did not participate in the theft and I knew nothing
about it. Once I was sent there I was seriously beaten. Finally, I got irritated
and started fighting with the policemen. Then I was sentenced to one and a half
years' labor education.
In the labor camp I was called to help "the Government" to force
Falun Gong practitioners to give up their beliefs ["the Government"
appears many times in this article. In the prisons in China, the supervisors
order the prisoners to refer to them as "the Government." In fact many
supervisors commit crimes in the name of "the Government"]. After
being with the Falun Gong practitioners, I found out that they are all good
people. They are all knowledgeable and talented and have made contributions to
our country. The reason that they step out to clarify the truth about Falun Gong
is to let people in the world know that Falun Dafa is not an organization, but a
cultivation practice that is open to the public and teaches people to be good.
Should people be arrested for being good? If everyone in China could be like
Falun Gong practitioners, telling the truth, doing things based on honesty,
being courageous enough to expose the evil, and being less selfish, how
wonderful the society would be!
However, currently various kinds of bad people are persecuting Falun Gong
practitioners. Practitioners are arrested, beaten, sent to labor camps, and
sentenced to prison terms. They arrest Falun Gong practitioners and then
fabricate lies that Falun Gong practitioners have given up their jobs, families,
and parents... Please think about it, people -- if the practitioners are
arrested and deprived of everything, are they able to work and take care of
their families and their parents? Only those people who are persecuting the
practitioners could say something like that.
I did not understand Falun Gong before, but after being with Falun Gong
practitioners, I came to realize that they are not after fame, nor personal
gain. They think of others in every aspect, and ask others to be good people and
do good things too. To tell the truth from my heart, people usually get worse
from being in places such as prisons or labor camps. However, through our
contact with Falun Gong practitioners, we all now know that we should be good
people; we will never do anything bad after we leave here. We will work with our
hands and earn honest money with a clear conscience. We are willing to do it no
matter how hard and difficult it might be. If there were not Falun Gong
practitioners who told me the many principles of being a good person and the
moral rules to discipline oneself, I would probably seek revenge on society and
do bad things after I got out of the labor camp. Now following the advice from
the practitioners, I will never do bad things, and I will never go back to a
dirty and vicious place like the labor camp. To tell the truth from my heart, I
owe my gratitude to the practitioners for becoming a good person. It is they who
taught me to be a good person, not "the Government."
Yet, how does the government treat good people like this? I will talk a
little about the treatment practitioners received in the labor camp. After being
sent to the labor camp, practitioners are asked to confess their crimes and
mistakes. What mistakes do they have? They are good at work. They are on good
terms with their families... They are good at everything. The only thing they
have done is to step out to clarify the truth, and become courageous enough to
fight the viciousness. What I cannot bear the most is the fact that
practitioners are shocked with electric rods, beaten with leather belts, hung up
or tied up just for cultivating Dafa. As a result, some of the practitioners are
beaten to death; some are injured; some died from force-feeding. However, the
vicious policemen say at once that these people "harm and hurt
themselves." They also induce the prisoners to give false evidence by
promising to reduce or end their terms in the labor camp. The Falun Gong
practitioners who have died in the labor camp are all tortured to death by the
vicious police. I do not know how many good people have been tortured to death
by them.
I believe that good people will be rewarded with good and bad people will end
up with the worst retributions. The retribution will come at the right time.
Will such inhuman things be allowed to continue? Where is Heaven's principle?
Where is justice? My suggestion to those who are committing the evil actions and
bad deeds is to stop. The earlier you stop, the better it is for you. To be a
human being, one should gather De (virtue) and do good things. Those vicious
people will be doomed to the end for committing many evil deeds. I hope that
you, especially those prisoners who help "the Government" to force
Falun Gong practitioners to give up cultivation, will stop treating Falun Gong
practitioners like this. Do not listen to the one-sided propaganda, following
Jiang Zemin to beat and curse at the practitioners. You will get retribution.
You should learn the good things of the Falun Gong practitioners and their kind
behavior. Wake up and stop treating the practitioners unfairly. They are not
involved in politics at all. It is the government who drags them into it.
The above is what I have seen and what I have heard.
