Melbourne, Australia: Practitioners Call on Thai Police Not to Follow the CCP in Persecuting Falun Gong (Photos)
By Falun Gong practitioner in Melbourne
(Clearwisdom.net) On December 19, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners in
Melbourne held peaceful protests in front of the Thai Consulate and Chinese
Consulate. They condemned the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun
Gong and the Thai government's bowing to the pressure from the Chinese Communist
regime to assist in the arrest of Falun Gong practitioners in Thailand. They
also urged the Thai government not to forsake sovereignty for communist tyranny. The incidents occurred as follows: on December 6, 2005, in order to protest
the rape of two Falun Gong practitioners by depraved Chinese policeman He
Xuejian, Falun Gong practitioners in Thailand went to the Chinese Embassy. Some
sat quietly on the sidewalk across from the Chinese Embassy, others handed out
truth clarification materials to passersby. On December 10,
instigated by the Chinese embassy, Thai police roughly interfered with
peacefully protesting Falun Gong practitioners. On December 14, the police beat
and then arrested three Falun Gong practitioners who were handing out truth
clarification materials at the tourist city Pattaya, but released them that same
night. On December 15, Thai police unlawfully arrested eight Falun Gong
practitioners who were peacefully protesting outside the Chinese Embassy, and
sent them to an immigration detention center. The immigration authorities said
that they would not release them until a third country receives them. Now, six
practitioners, except a young child, who have been unlawfully detained, are
hunger striking. To support Thailand Falun Gong practitioners and urge the Thai government to
make a correct decision, practitioners in Melbourne, Australia went to the Thai
consulate to hold a peaceful protest. The practitioners displayed banners
reading, "Thailand: Do Not Yield to Chinese Communist tyranny," and
"Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." The Thai Consulate is located on the busy street St. Kilda, where there are
many people and vehicles passing by. Passersby stopped to inquire about what had
happened, and took truth clarification materials from practitioners to read
carefully. One lady learned about the facts and then expressed that as a country
of sovereignty, in terms of choosing between morality and economic interests, it
appeared so vulnerable, which is really sad. A democratic country should persist
in its own human rights and freedom of belief, should not bow to evil forces,
nor should it assist a tyranny to do evil. Falun Gong practitioners clarified the truth and sent forth righteous
thoughts in front of the Thai Consulate. They called on the Thai government that
today, when the malevolent Chinese Communist regime's wicked nature and all its
evil doing have been revealed to the world, the Thai government should no longer
ignorantly work as a scapegoat for the malevolent party, and help it persecute a
group of good people who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Regardless of whether it is a country or an individual, so long as it persists
in justice and conscience, it can have a beautiful future. The practitioners also held banners reading, "Thailand, Do not help CCP
Persecute Falun Gong," and "Falun Dafa is Great." While
peacefully practicing the exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts in
front of the Chinese consulate, some passersby asked, "Such a peaceful and
stretching exercise, it's so hard to understand why the Chinese Communist regime
persecutes it, and entices other countries to participate in the persecution.
The Thai government is so naive that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) deceives
it. They should read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,
and then they will know what the CCP is."
