(Clearwisdom.net) Today, under the rule of Jiang, China has made a disastrous mistake by persecuting Falun Gong. It has become increasingly important that the people of China think about this in a clear manner, especially since this persecution has caused the utter decay of the very foundation of Chinese morality. This is the most horrifying part.

Is it "attacking the police" or "being attacked by police"?

A prosecution based on lies is actually embarking upon a political venture publicly under Jiang's despotic power in the once democratic Hong Kong. Falun Gong practitioners were accused of "attacking the police;" however, these pictures show that it was the Falun Gong practitioners who were attacked.

Arrested for not being willing to curse an unknown person

Jiang has deployed the police force at the main entrances to Beijing, having them inspect people and ask them to curse the founder of Falun Gong. One elderly person said, "I don't even know what Falun Gong is, what do you want me to curse about?" He was then arrested by police on the charge of "being a Falun Gong practitioner."

You cannot say Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance in public

An assistant manager in a work unit said to his co-worker, "In Beijing, you cannot say 'Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance' in public; otherwise the police will arrest you."

Falling off the bridge accidentally equates to jumping off the bridge to commit suicide

In May 2000, a Falun Gong practitioner in a town in Gansu Province headed home after work. On his way, he accidentally fell off a 7 or 8 meter-high bridge. When he was sent to the hospital for a checkup, everything was fine. His fellow workers all started talking about it, saying, "Falun Gong is really miraculous!" However, the next day, the local police station called the security department of his work unit and said, "A practitioner in your work unit jumped off a bridge to commit suicide. A journalist wants to cover it on the news."

Beaten and fined for keeping out of the sun

A senior professor from Shanghai accompanied a tour group to Tiananmen Square to watch the ceremony of raising the national flag. Because he raised his right hand and put it above his eyebrows to block the sunlight, he was arrested by the plainclothes policemen and taken to the Qianmen Police Station. He was cruelly beaten, his eyeglasses were broken, his eyes were blackened, and he suffered multiple injuries. The tour guide and the professor himself explained the situation over and over again to the police. Only after he wrote a "pledge" and paid the "fine" was he released. In order to prevent similar things from happening again, the tour guide warned the tourists, "Within the area of Tiananmen Square, don't casually raise your hand, talk, search for things in your pockets, walk around or look around carelessly." When the tourists want to do something, they even need to report it. This is truly absurd, as sightseeing has been turned into something dangerous.

Beating and cursing people have become common practice

One time, on Tiananmen Square, a plainclothes policeman suspected that a passerby was a Falun Gong practitioner, so he began to beat him. To his surprise, this person immediately fought back and shouted dirty words. The policeman decided right away that this person was not a Falun Gong practitioner, since a Falun Gong practitioner doesn't fight back when he is beaten or sworn at.

Arrested for returning something to its rightful owner

Now, a reverse logic is eating away at people's morality. Falun Gong practitioners are good people, so good people are being arrested because they are suspected of being Falun Gong practitioners. One time, two people took a taxi to work. They forgot their bag in the taxi when they got off. The driver put forth a lot of effort, and finally found them and returned the bag to them. Unfortunately, those two people considered the driver a Falun Gong practitioner because of this and wanted to turn him in to the police. Jiang's terrorist rule has distorted human nature to such an extent.
