By Qing Zhou, a German practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On June 11, 2004, practitioners appealed at the Chinese
Consulate in Munich to urge the unconditional release of Beijing Dafa
practitioner Chen Jie, who was a staff member of Beijing You'an Hospital
Laboratory Centre.
Shortly after the Jiang regime launched the persecution against Falun Gong on
July 20,1999, Chen Jie went to appeal in Beijing, urging the government to
understand that Falun Gong is a very good cultivation practice, which can help
people heal illnesses, keep fit and become kind-hearted.
In 2001, she was illegally arrested and sent to a brainwashing centre for
several months after she refused to participate in a campaign launched by the
government at all levels in Beijing to solicit one million signatures defaming
Falun Gong. On June 2, 2004, she was illegally arrested at home again by
Shijingshan District's police, and sent to a brainwashing centre. They also
conducted a search of her home. At present her six-year-old son cannot be looked
after by his mother. Her husband does not practice Falun Gong, and he is too
worried to work normally.
Since the Jiang regime started to persecute Falun Gong, more
than one hundred thousand Falun Gong practitioners have been imprisoned in
forced labor camps, prisons or mental hospitals because they have refused to
give up their belief. 108 Falun Gong practitioners were sentenced from five to
thirteen years in prison respectively because they exposed the facts about the
persecution on the Internet. Twenty among them were university professors or the
students of graduate schools. At least nine hundred and sixty eight Falun Gong
practitioners have been persecuted to death, and more than fifty of them were
confirmed dead in the first half of this year.
Chen Jie's younger brother and mother were among the Dafa
practitioners who participated in the activities in Munich. Chen Jie's younger
brother Chen Gang is a student at Munich University. Simply because he practices
Falun Gong, his application for a visa extension was denied by the Chinese
Consulate in Munich, which has caused a tremendous impact on his studies and
life there. Chen Jie's mother was once forced to leave home and wander about in
China for more than two years because she refused to give up her belief. She
finally managed to make it to Germany recently.
Chen Jie, her mother, younger brother and her son Chen Gang and her mother appeal in front of Chinese Consulate At the Chinese Consulate in Munich, practitioners unfurled
banners reading "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing, and Zhou Yongkang to
Trial," and displayed photos of practitioners undergoing cruel torture, as well
as pictures of those who have died as a result of persecution. In addition, they
also displayed banners reading "Release Chen Jie", "Return My Daughter", "Return
My Elder Sister," etc. They also kept sending righteous thoughts and practicing
the five sets of exercises. After reading the banners and the display boards,
passersby were shocked to learn that people who cultivate "Truthfulness,
Compassion and Forbearance" are persecuted so cruelly in China. Particularly
after learning that Chen Jie's mother was on the scene, they immediately signed
the petition to support the appeal to "Bringing Jiang Zemin to Justice."
During the activity, an elderly man mistook us for another
group and shouted loudly at us without listening to our explanation. The
policeman on duty came over and told him, "Please calm down. These Falun Gong
practitioners are very peaceful. You should let them practice the exercises
peacefully." The elderly man subsequently calmed down and listened to
practitioners' explanations, and talked to them for a long while.
Shortly before the appeal was concluded, sudden heavy rain
drenched the practitioners. However, they insisted on sending righteous thoughts
in the rain without being affected. A man sitting in a coffee shop was so moved
by the scene that he insisted on treating every practitioner to a cup of hot
tea. The policeman on duty there also kindly reminded practitioners not to catch
cold.
