Non-Practitioner Asks Police "Why Do You Persecute Such Good People?"

(Clearwisdom.net) A Daqing City resident would like to say a few words to the police through our website:

I am a resident of Daqing City. Although I do not practice Falun Gong, I cannot understand why Falun Gong practitioners are persecuted. I know some people who practice Falun Gong. They are indeed good people. They have become healthier through doing the exercises. By following the principles of Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance, they no longer argue over personal loss or gains. With higher standards of morality, they often help other people.

Public security is very poor in Daqing City. I feel bad that the police force is not used to reduce crime, but instead it is squandered on the persecution of Falun Gong. Furthermore, Daqing police are very aggressive in suppressing Falun Gong. I heard that the National Security Bureau of Daqing City only targets Falun Gong.

I often read the truth-clarification materials distributed by Falun Gong practitioners. So far, 24 Falun Gong practitioners in Daqing City have died as a result of the persecution. This number makes Daqing rank second within our province, right after Harbin City, where 27 practitioners have been killed due to the persecution. Actually, this number is the highest nationwide for a district city. I was shocked by the police's brutality which includes sexual abuse, freezing, piercing with bamboo needles, burning people alive, forced sitting on an iron chair for a long time, tying and stretching on a "dead man's bed" (a kind of torture where a special bed is used to tie practitioners to). The sad thing is that these tortures are real! After observing Falun Gong practitioners for a few years, you should know what kind of people they are.

Falun Gong practitioners have been deprived of their personal freedom, and they don't have the freedom of belief granted by our constitution. They have even been deprived of the right to speak the truth. Why are these good people treated so badly?

Falun Gong can indeed improve people's minds. If everyone in our society were like them, that is, if there were no greed, no stealing, no lying and no harming of others, our country would surely be prosperous and strong! Falun Gong practitioners are just like our family members, and everything they do is just to let us know the truth so we can stop doing bad deeds. All they ask is a peaceful practice environment. As a police officer, if you do not protect their basic human rights, but instead mistreat and suppress them, don't you feel ashamed?

You should be doing good deeds for society. Please fulfill the responsibility of a police officer and act according to your conscience!
