A Discussion with Practitioners Whose Permanent Resident Registrations and Identifications have been Erased by the Police
(Clearwisdom.net) Followers of Jiang's regime are striving to employ all
economic means in attempting to force Falun Dafa practitioners to give up their
beliefs. After suffering severe torture during imprisonment, many practitioners
discover upon returning home that their permanent resident registers have been
erased and their graduation records and diplomas confiscated. Thus, even with
higher education, these practitioners cannot find jobs commensurate with their
education and constantly struggle for survival. Without proper identification,
the practitioners often suffer discrimination, adding further misfortune to
their lives after they suffer so much amidst their imprisonment.
I once felt indignant, distressed and helpless when faced with these
circumstances until a friend of mine, who is lawyer, explained to me that as
long as the lawsuit deadline (within two years, not counting the time they are
being illegally imprisoned) has not passed, practitioners can sue the police
stations, asking for the replacement of their registration and identification,
and they can even request that their schools reissue proofs of graduation. ID is
an important legal document, particularly in China since without permanent
residence registration, one can be forced away from one's home. Without requests
made by the persons themselves, no one is allowed to transfer or suspend these
records. He also told me that he had already helped a practitioner win this type
of lawsuit. And afterwards, the police station made appropriate corrections
within a few days and his education record was reissued. This Dafa practitioner
had graduated from a respected institution, specializing in a field of high
demand. He was soon offered new employment with a monthly salary in the four to
five thousand yuan range, which not only covered his survival expenses, but also
gave him the ability to engage in much work clarifying the truth. On this
issue, my friend felt confident and elated in knowing that he could finally
fight for the legitimate rights and interests of Dafa practitioners. He
instructed me to tell practitioners who have suffered similar treatment to
follow suit and sue the police stations in court, for their cases will be
accepted and they will win their lawsuits.
Through this, I realized that Dafa practitioners must apply righteous
thoughts to deal with unjust treatment, and righteous behavior to eliminate the
arrangements of the old forces. Dafa practitioners have the historic mission of
aiding Teacher in rectifying the Fa, and so we absolutely must not accommodate
persecution. We should instead follow wholeheartedly the righteous way arranged
by Teacher, and if the old forces persecute us, we should use the opportunity to
clarify the truth and obtain our rights. From the beginning of the persecution,
Jiang's regime has deprived the lawyers and others in Mainland China's legal
system of their concerns for Falun Gong, effectively suppressing their
conscience. We thus need to use every opportunity to clarify the facts and save
the sentient beings. Posting date: 9/21/2004 |
