UK: Explaining the Facts at an Amnesty International Meeting in Huddersfield By a UK practitioner (Clearwisdom.net) On May 20, 2004, a Falun Gong practitioner attended
a meeting held by the UK Amnesty International working group in Huddersfield. At
the meeting, the practitioner explained the facts about Falun Gong to four
members of the group and showed a video covering the facts of the persecution of
Falun Gong practitioners in China. To the people in Huddersfield, Falun Gong is still something
new. Therefore, the members of Amnesty International there were not quite
familiar with Falun Gong. One of them even said that it was the first time for
him to learn anything about Falun Gong. In the meeting, the Falun Gong
practitioner first briefly introduced to them the spreading and development of
Falun Gong. And then he told them that there were than one hundred million
people practicing Falun Gong around the world and the facts about Jiang's
persecution of Falun Gong, as well as the on-going lawsuits against Jiang Zemin
in various countries. When talking about Jiang's genocide policy against Falun
Gong, one lady appeared to be deeply shocked. Afterwards, when watching Falun Gong's truth-clarification
films together, all the members of Amnesty International present showed their
sympathy for the persecuted Falun Gong practitioners and expressed their
resentment against the perpetrators. A lady whose eyes brimmed with tears after
watching the film, said that the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in
China is really terrifying. Finally, the head of this Amnesty International working group
expressed his support for Falun Gong, and wanted to do something to rescue Falun
Gong practitioners. After the meeting, all the participants from Amnesty
International signed their names on the appeal letters for "Rescuing Falun
Gong Practitioners' Family Members in China" and the "Public Trial of
Jiang Zemin." They also asked Falun Gong practitioners some questions. One
of them asked if Falun Gong practitioners are against the Chinese Government.
The practitioner replied that Falun Gong practitioners are not against any
government, and that during the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's state visits to the
U.S. and Europe, the banners prepared by Falun Gong practitioners read
"Welcome Wen Jiabao" and "Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice." The
one who raised the question thus realized the facts immediately. Then he asked
who financially supports Falun Gong practitioners; for instance, who provides
the flyers to Falun Gong practitioners. After hearing that all the
truth-clarification materials are purchased by Falun Gong practitioners with
their own savings, he nodded with a sigh. Before leaving, they invited Falun Gong practitioners to
attend their next meeting, and expressed their blessings and thanks. Posting date: 5/27/2004 |
