(Clearwisdom.net) Ever since the so-called self-immolation incident
occurred in Tiananmen Square, the Chinese authorities' persecution of Falun Gong--
a popular Qigong practice in China outlawed by the Jiang regime--has
clearly intensified; the hostility toward Falun Gong incited by the regime's propaganda among the
general population in China has broadly escalated; the death toll of Falun Gong practitioners has
increased sharply during the police roundups and in locations such as prisons, labor camps, mental
institutions, and all sorts of "re-education" classes and brainwashing centers where
practitioners are illegally held.
Within two hours of the incident, the Chinese government's mouthpiece, Xinhua
News Agency, immediately made an announcement in front of the world, blaming Falun Gong
practitioners for the self-immolations. Immediately following the announcement, the Focus
Interview program of Chinese Central Television Station, CCTV, broadcasted a commentary program
and made authoritative-sounding conclusions, again accusing Falun Gong.
At the same time, a Falun Gong spokesperson issued a statement saying that those
who set themselves on fire in Tiananmen Square were not Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong
practitioners outside China have deconstructed Focus Interview's footage in detail and
pointed out that the whole thing was an elaborate ploy. It is an enormous fabrication by the Jiang
regime to frame Falun Gong. The severity of their actions was extreme, and their tactics were of the
utmost viciousness.
Shortly after the incident, Philip Pan, a reporter from the Washington Post, went
to the hometown of Liu Chunling, the woman who died at the scene of the self-immolation, to conduct
an independent investigation. In his stunning front-page article on February 4, 2001, Pan revealed
that Liu used to make a living as a hostess in a nightclub and that none of her neighbors ever saw
Liu practice the Falun Gong exercises.
The International Education Development (IED) made an official statement at the
United Nations on August 14, 2001: "...The regime points to a supposed self-immolation incident
in Tiananmen Square on January 23, 2001 as proof" to slander Falun Gong. "However, we have
obtained a video of that incident that in our view proves that this event was staged by the
government. We have copies of that video available for distribution."
Whereas the so-called self-immolation in Tiananmen Square has directly caused
several deaths, in which the victims died in the most tragic way;
Whereas the incident has been widely propagated by Jiang's regime and triggered
the escalation of the persecution that has claimed several hundred, possibly thousands, of lives;
Whereas the incident is full of loopholes and fallacies, and has caused a severe
impact to Mainland China as well as the world;
Whereas the existing system of courts, public security, and legal counsel in
China has failed to demonstrate the ability and the moral courage to impartially and professionally
investigate the persecution and bring it to an end;
Therefore, all people of conscience are extremely concerned about the
aforementioned; the international community must conduct serious, objective, and impartial
investigation of this incident.
Below is the first list of the litigants and parties concerned that the Committee
is releasing to the public. At any proper time and with all possible means, the Committee will
obtain evidence from these individuals directly or indirectly. This is an integral part of the
Committee's investigation and is launched as of this date.
