Jiang Zemin's Persecution of Falun Gong is a Persecution of the Human Conscience
By Qiqi (Clearwisdom.net) October 22, 2003 report: The persecution against Falun Gong
and Falun Gong practitioners is different from any other persecution in human
history. It is an unprecedented brutal persecution against the conscience of the
whole human race. Jiang used "the most base actions ever in human
history--whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign--and employing all the
most malicious means to persecute Dafa and its cultivators" ("Coercion
Cannot Change People's Hearts," Essentials for Further Advancement
II) to force the practitioners to give up their belief in
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. Through coercion and enticing them with financial
advantages, Jiang's group forces government officials and police to join in
their crime. They use threat and interest, and the implication strategy to force
the whole society to betray their conscience and assist the evildoers. Jiang
even gave up Chinese territory and tremendous Chinese market considerations in
exchange for the international society to keep silent in the face of the
genocide that is taking place in China. A few countries even assisted the
perpetrators inadvertently.
The whole persecution is based upon lies. Jiang used the whole government
machinery to create lies and news reports, movies, TV series and articles to
slander Falun Gong. They even staged the Tiananmen Square
"Self-Immolation" Incident to demonize Falun Gong. They launched
large-scale brainwashing activities throughout China and attempted it even in
the whole world by buying out overseas Chinese media. They try to ruin Falun
Gong's reputation. They instigate hatred in the Chinese people in China and
abroad. Their purpose is that all people, including government officials,
employees of the legal, judicial and public security system, officials in
overseas Chinese consulates would participate in the persecution, at work and in
daily life, consciously or unconsciously. They even encourage friends and family
members to turn against their loved ones who practice Falun Gong.
This villainous group uses the most cruel tortures ever invented in human
history--whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign--and employs them to
destroy Falun Gong practitioners' willpower and mental integrity; to force the
practitioners to give up their belief and go against their conscience.
These perpetrators inject the practitioners with drugs that destroy the
central nervous system. They also use electrocution to force people to give up
their belief while their mind is not clear. Those people who gave up their
belief sometimes have to live with guilt and anguish for the rest of their
lives, something resulting from unwillingly giving up their belief.
The perpetrators use violence, torture, sleep deprivation in brainwashing
classes, in addition to forcing the practitioners to view Dafa-slandering TV
programs; they order collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have
gone astray due to torture and brainwashing], some weak-willed people, or
those who were not clear on Fa principles were "reformed" under the
pressure for their own ends.
The wife of practitioner Lin Chengtao was "reformed." She wrote a
letter to a labor camp authority in which she proposed ideas how to use torture
to "reform" Lin Chengtao. The authorities forced Lin Chengtao to read
his wife's letter repeatedly until he had a mental breakdown. The
"reform" twists human nature and destroys one's conscience; it even
creates the disaster of persecuting one's beloved ones.
The persecutors rape female practitioners and use various base means of
sexual assault to trample their most cherished modesty as women, in order to
force them to give up their belief and conscience.
They use implication to force the practitioners' family members to sell their
soul, divorce their husband or wife, kick their husband or wife out of the home,
and some even help the police or government officials to deceive and send their
beloved ones to brainwashing classes and mental hospitals.
The perpetrators threaten police officers and government officials with
lay-offs and entice them with high monetary rewards to force them to earn
political credits at the cost of innocent people's blood and life. The whole
government machinery degenerated into Jiang's personal tool to persecute Falun
Gong.
They financially cut off Falun Gong practitioners by illegally firing them
from their jobs. They impose large amounts of fines on the practitioners and
illegally take away their properties to plunge them into extremely difficult
living conditions. This caused some practitioners to give up their belief. At
the same time, local government officials and "610 Office" workers as
well as police officers actively participated in the persecution to obtain
considerable monetary rewards, or they get rich by looting the practitioners'
property, which further destroys these public officials' conscience and push
them further on the criminal path during this persecution.
Jiang's regime conceded financial interests and sold the Chinese territory to
certain foreign government(s), so officials of these countries betrayed their
conscience and the Western principles of human rights and freedom of belief, by
which they usually abide. They keep silent in the face of genocide that is
taking place in China right now; a few countries, perhaps inadvertently, even
assisted the evildoers.
There are tremendous financial opportunities presented by the present Chinese
market economy, they use this financial bait to control foreign companies, many
of which give up their conscience and convince their governments to keep silent
regarding the genocide that is taking place in China. A few foreign companies
even require their employees to sign a so-called guarantee statement to
give up Falun Gong practice. Either they sign the statement or they are fired.
Jiang advocates the motto "shut your mouth and get rich." He
invites chief editors, editors and journalists of overseas media to visit China
and win them over with investment deals. These media who are known for bold
reporting and reports on scandals gave very limited coverage on this
historically unprecedented persecution. For overseas Chinese media, the
villainous group buys, invests or sends people to work for these media, so they
gradually became overseas spokesmen for Jiang's villainous group. For some media
such as BBC that bravely expose the truth about the persecution, the villainous
group blocks their website or threatens that the publication of that media in
China will be banned. That is why the overseas media community became quiet.
Jiang Zemin's son Jiang Hengmian controls China's Internet. Other than tens
of thousands of web-monitoring police officers who monitor Internet activities
around the clock, Web cafe owners are also forced to install software that
filters out "sensitive" information; sometimes they even have to
report "violators" against their conscience. Even overseas Internet
such as Yahoo! and Hotmail were forced to
"self-discipline" according to Jiang group's rules. This resulted in
the arrest of political dissidents and Falun Gong practitioners whose online
activities were monitored.
Jiang also promises heads of overseas Chinese communities and student
organization leaders with favorable investment deals in China, monetary support
and sponsorship of school activities, which caused some people to interfere with
Falun Gong practitioners' social and school activities against their conscience.
Some accomplices even beat Falun Gong practitioners in public in foreign
countries.
The incidents of persecution against the human conscience are too numerous to
count, yet they are taking place right now in China and around the world.
Falun Gong practitioners hold peaceful appeals around the world, clarify the
truth and file lawsuits against Jiang's villainous group, not only because they
hope to end this brutal persecution, but because they also want to save these
government officials, police officers and other people who joined in the
persecution from certain doom. Falun Gong practitioners follow the principles of
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance, and with peaceful and rational actions, tremendous
endurance and sometimes at the cost of their lives, they call for justice,
morality and conscience in the human world.
