According To What Law Are Falun Gong Practitioners being Tortured and Killed?


(Clearwisdom.net)

In a recent article, the Xinhua News Agency [China's state controlled media] claimed that "per the strong request of the general public," the government banned Falun Gong "in compliance with the law" in 1999. During Jiang's campaign against Falun Gong for the past four years, they have repeatedly used the phrase "in compliance with the law." I would like to discuss this topic in this article.

First of all, during the four years of persecution, at least 780 Falun Gong practitioners have been killed, many of them died of torture. Let me ask, according to what law can Jiang's followers kill and torture whomever they please?

On June 10th, 1999, Jiang Zemin secretly created the "610 Office" system; this system has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems. It can send Falun Gong practitioners to brainwashing classes to be tortured both physically and mentally. If practitioners refuse to give up their belief after the brainwashing, they will be subjected to fines, long-term detainment, or forced labor. Let me ask again, what law allows the "610 Office" to brainwash, extort money from, and torture innocent Falun Gong practitioners at its own will? What law in China allows such things?

Both China's constitution and the international human rights covenant state that the rights of belief, speech, and one's body not be interfered with. But Falun Gong practitioners' basic rights have been violated by the Jiang group; thus, Jiang's persecution of Falun Gong has no legal grounds at all and is in fact against China's own constitution.

When the Jiang group claims to do something "in compliance with the law," the law becomes the dictator's murderous weapon, which can be used to harm any individual or group that the dictator does not like. The so-called dictator's "law" has already lost the moral ground that can help uphold justice. This kind of law is already illegal.

During World War II, Hitler made laws against Jews: he "legally" took away the right for Jews to go to college and become employed. Then "according to the law," he sent Jews to concentration camps, where over six million died of persecution. During the 1930's, in the former Soviet Union, Stalin publicly sentenced his political rivals to death "in compliance with the law." Millions of people later died under the rule of Stalin. Obviously, Stalin's "law" does not represent morality or justice, but represents a severe crime. There is no difference at all between Jiang's idea of "law" and Hitler and Stalin's idea of "Law."
