(Clearwisdom.net) The day after hearing the shocking news of Falun
Gong practitioners being shot in South Africa, a few Boston practitioners went
to the Massachusetts state government office building to arrange for a press
conference. Two officials were very shocked after they heard the news. They
expressed their sympathy and made time to help arrange the press conference site
for us between 2:00 and 3:00PM, even though they had been fully booked that
afternoon.
As it is difficult in general to get to see the legislators at all, the
shooting incident is a good opportunity to clarify the truth to them face to
face. We arrived outside their meeting hall and spent the whole day waiting for
legislators who walked in and out, and distributed information that explained
the facts to them. We briefly reported the South African incident of the Jiang
group's hiring hit men to kill people, and how they have harassed and also
exported Jiang's terrorism to the U.S. We pointed out that this was a terrorist
act, staged to stop certain countries and regions from suing Jiang's group for
genocide. The legislators were shocked when they heard this. Other organizations
and people who were waiting outside to see the legislators were also shocked to
hear about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, which has even escalated to
the point that hit men were hired in South Africa to kill people. They
immediately helped the practitioners to contact their legislative
representatives or made time for us to talk to those representatives.
About 80 to 100 legislators received our information that day. Some of them
who had an opportunity to talk to us in detail asked us what they could do for
Falun Gong practitioners. This kind of clarifying the truth face to face has a
very good effect.
