The governor of Jakarta sent a representative to the conference. In his
congratulatory letter to the conference, he said that Indonesia respects human
rights, supports freedom of belief and encourages people of different beliefs to
coexist peacefully. Falun Dafa advocates Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. It has
elevated practitioners' moral standards, improved their health and makes people
stay away from bad habits such as drinking, drug and violence. The governor
wished the conference a big success.
Indonesian government for the first time issued a permit to practitioners to
hold a large-scale parade in its capital city. It was the very first time so
many Chinese people walked on the busy streets of Jakarta in such a peaceful and
orderly procession. The police expressed their sincere thanks to Falun Dafa
practitioners after the event. The Indonesian Police placed a last-minute ban on
an already-approved parade from the National Monument (Monas) to the Hotel
Indonesia traffic circle due to the pressure from Chinese government. About 30
minutes after the parade officially started, it was stopped. However
practitioners had walked for nearly 2 hours before the ban and achieved most of
the effect.
Police sources said that the National Police revoked the permit following
pressure from the Chinese Embassy in Jakarta.
The fact that the Indonesian government had issued the parade permit
demonstrated the legality of the parade. However, the Chinese government exerted
pressure on the Indonesian government and forced it to cancel the parade. It
fully disclosed the Jiang regime's perverse nature. Indonesian government
officials explained to practitioners that the cancellation ordered by the
Indonesian President was due to the pressure from the Chinese government.
The preparation and success of the conference demonstrated that Indonesian
practitioners have progressed well after overcoming tribulations. The
large-scale parade also offered a good opportunity for the Indonesian people to
know Falun Dafa. Several media agencies gave positive reports of the conference.
Many of the practitioners who participated in the conference are
demonstrating outside the Chinese embassy.
