Police Violence on Tiananmen Square on China's "National Day" (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on October 1, 2004 (China's "National Day"), many civilians witnessed policemen violently beat and drag off a Falun Gong practitioner. People at the Square were all talking about the incident and many said: "We personally saw the brutality of police against Falun Gong today."

In the morning of October 1, we left home very early with our baby, heading for Tiananmen Square. It was raining heavily the day before, and it was still very windy, though the rain stopped. Nevertheless, there were many people at the Square, and of course public security police, armed police and plainclothes police were everywhere. There were 5 or 6 police officers at each intersection, checking passersby and searching the bags of those tourists whom police thought were "questionable" (meaning, who they suspected may be Falun Gong practitioners).

We arrived at Tiananmen Square safely and found a space at the stairs under a lamp post to sit down. All members of my family are practitioners, and we came here today to send righteous thoughts to clear up evil factors in other dimensions to help people more easily come to learn the truth of Falun Dafa and thus obtain a bright future. My baby behaved really well today and was very quiet when we were sending righteous thoughts. We kept sending righteous thoughts until noon. When we finished sending righteous at around 12:10pm, we suddenly saw a team of more than 20 armed policemen running into the huge crowd. At the moment I realized that it must have been some practitioners who had just stepped forward to publicly appeal for Falun Dafa on the square.

I hurried to the site and saw that a practitioner was already beaten to the ground by police. A policeman still had the practitioner's banner wrapped around his left hand. Other armed police drove onlookers far away from the site. However, a vast number of civilians witnessed how police brutally attacked the practitioner. Many people in the crowd started to take photos, but several of them had their film confiscated by police. Police even confiscated some people's unused cameras packed in their bags, and a few tourists who photographed the scene were taken away. Policemen near to the site also searched for people that carried a camera.

Many people at Tiananmen Square were talking about the incident. They said: "We personally saw the brutality of police against Falun Gong today." Since Jiang regime launched the brutal persecution against Falun Dafa 5 years ago, practitioners have been tirelessly clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, exposing the lies spread by mainland media and telling people about the brutal persecution. Though many people have learned the truth, the brutality of police on Tiananmen Square on this, China's "National Day" still shocked them, as they saw that the practitioner didn't do anything wrong but only tried to say "Falun Dafa is Good."

Let us all jointly call for an end to the brutality against innocent practitioners!
