Central News Agency: Falun Gong Claims TV Tapping is Peaceful and Rational Action
(Clearwisdom.net) Ceng Zhiyuan, a Central News Agency reporter
sent a special dispatch from New York on July 9: The Chinese government media
reports some satellite TV channels in China were tapped into and Falun Gong
videos were played. The Falun Dafa Information Center headquarters in New York
responded today, emphasizing such action indeed broke the Jiang group's
information blockade, and "said a just word," it can be called a "great historic
feat," and it is a "peaceful and rational action." Recently, the Chinese government and media in China condemned Falun Gong for
interfering with satellite T.V signals in remote areas of China during June 23
to June 30. The government says it's against both the international pact and
civil communication rules and it threatens people's safety. Falun Dafa Information Center published commentary regarding this accusation,
emphasizing although the people who did this are still unknown, this action has
truly broken the regime's information blockade, broadcasting words of justice
for Falun Gong practitioners who have received unjust treatment, and enabling
the Chinese people to see the truth, which they usually don't have a opportunity
to. It can be called a great historic feat. The commentary pointed out that Jiang has never abided by the law during his
persecution of Falun Gong. The Chinese media has long been the dictator's
mouthpiece and tool of persecution. The victims -- the common people - have
nowhere to turn for justice. In this situation, some people use special methods to break the information
blockade and let the people know the truth. Such actions "uphold the freedom of
speech and the right to access information protected by the Chinese
constitution," "this is a completely just action, a peaceful and rational
action." Falun Dafa Information Center said at the same time, in countries abroad
respecting rule-by-law and enjoying freedom, it is of course unnecessary to take
such special measures, since in a free and open society there are many ways for
people to appeal for justice and speak their mind. The key problem in China is
that, when unjustly treated, people ought to be allowed to speak out. Posting date: 7/16/2002 |
