Korean Embassy's Website in Beijing Corrects Misleading Article at the Request of Dafa Practitioners in Korea
By a Korean Dafa Practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) Not long ago, a Korean Dafa practitioner, while
surfing the web, discovered that there was an article with the title
"Current situation and future hopes of China" on the website of the
Korean Embassy stationed in China. In the article, Falun Dafa was not only
slandered with a derogatory name, but was also mentioned in the same breath with
terrorist organizations. After reading the article, it would be very easy for
one to be misguided into thinking that "Falun Dafa" was one of the
factors contributing to social instability. With respect to this, the Korean
Falun Dafa Association immediately sent an email on August 10, 2004 to request
the relevant authorities to correct the inappropriate sections. However, the Korean Embassy only corrected the derogatory name in the article
on August 17, so the Korean Falun Dafa Association once again sent a reminder
letter on August 19 to the Korean Embassy and related authorities to urge them
to correct all the articles that defame Falun Dafa on their websites before
August 31. Recently, while browsing through the website of the Korean Embassy once
again, it was discovered that all the articles that had content defaming Falun
Dafa have been removed. Before this, there was an incident in which, upon
discovering that the website of "Korean Foreign Affairs and Trade
Department" had referred to Falun Dafa with the same term other such
inappropriate references, the Korean Falun Dafa association managed to get the
contents of this website corrected through negotiations. According to what Master has told us, we should take the initiative to
clarify the truth in the areas that have problems, point out the mistakes and
thus let them understand the truth about Falun Dafa. Through this matter, we
feel, first hand, that it is necessary to actively clarify the truth to
government agencies and intensify the depth and breadth of our
truth-clarification efforts to government officials. August 28, 2004
