Thailand: The First Anti-torture Exhibition in Bangkok Touches People's Hearts (Photos)


By a practitioner from Thailand

(Clearwisdom.net) February 13, 2005 was a sunny day in Bangkok, Thailand and the sky was clear. Falun Gong practitioners conducted their first anti-torture exhibition in the "October 14 Memorial" located in downtown Bangkok. The exhibition reenacted the Jiang faction's illegal suppression and brutal torture suffered by Falun Gong practitioners in China for upholding their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.

The exhibition started at 9:00 am on February 13. A table was set up at the entrance of the exhibit hall, displaying Falun Dafa truth-clarifying booklets in several languages, as well as paper lotus flowers, calendars, bookmarks, and fans made by practitioners. On the other side, a petition table was set up to call upon people to sign the appeal, which will be delivered to Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The appeal calls for attention to the Falun Gong issue at the 2005 United Nations' Human Rights Convention.

The exhibition included two parts: "The Journey of Falun Gong" and "Uncompromising Courage". The front walls of the exhibit hall displayed a huge Falun emblem, photos depicting the worldwide spread of Dafa, proclamations received to honor Dafa, as well as Falun Gong practitioners' peaceful appeals and global rescue efforts after July 20, 1999, when the persecution began. A TV set and VCD continually played the Falun Gong truth-clarifying programs produced by Fangguangming TV. People who entered the exhibit hall attentively viewed those photos and asked questions. Practitioners patiently explained the history of Falun Dafa and the cause of the persecution, as well as the real story about the staged self-immolation and the reason why Falun Gong practitioners in China will not give up their belief under such brutal persecution.

Live re-enactment of torture methods

Live re-enactments of torture methods used against Falun Gong practitioners were held on the second half of the exhibit hall. The demonstrated torture methods included force-feeding, hanging up, digging bamboo sticks into practitioners' fingers, "Tiger Bench", and confined cell. The re-enactment vividly displayed the inhuman torture suffered by practitioners in China. This became a focal point of the audience. Many people were shocked upon seeing the demonstrations, revealing the outrageous persecution currently going on in China. People took the initiative to sign the petition in support of Falun Gong. Those who learned about Falun Gong asked for more truth-clarifying booklets and video CDs. Some requested to learn the exercises on the spot. The anti-torture exhibition thoroughly and vividly exposed the brutality of Jiang's regime and its lies.

The exhibition concluded at 5:00 pm. A number of newspapers including Matichon, Naewna, Thai Rath, Siam Rath, Thai Post, Post Today, Nation and Epoch Times, as well as New Tang Dynasty TV, came to cover the event.
