Clarifying the Truth to Government Departments in China
By a practitioner in Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) I recently made several phone calls to governmental
departments that participated in the persecution of Falun Gong. I am writing to
share these experiences so that everyone can understand the present situation of
everyday people in those government positions. When I was able to directly connect to the vice president of a certain
governmental unit that participated in the persecution of Falun Gong, I told him
that the purpose of the call was to tell him not to arrest any more Falun Gong
practitioners. I told him that if he continued, it would not help the government
or practitioners. He responded with a despondent "Oh!" Since I did not
fully grasp the meaning of his response, I persuasively continued, "After
Falun Gong practitioners were arrested, in almost all cases they were quickly
sentenced. After sentencing, they were sent to the camps where they were
imprisoned. This resulted in either their death or permanent disfigurement.
These are crimes against humanity. Why is this so difficult for you to
realize?" He conceded this, admitting that the situation is indeed extremely serious,
but said that he did not know how to deal with the situation. He sounded very
concerned and understood the seriousness of the situation. As I continued to
warn him about the consequences of his crimes and actions, I urged him to think
about what he had done. He defended his actions and expressed his helplessness.
He said he couldn't do anything. I replied that the solution is very simple:
Stop arresting Falun Gong practitioners! Start releasing those that were
arrested! He responded that he could not defy his superior's order. I then
clarified the truth to him, telling him about the danger that Falun
Gong practitioners faced when they stepped forward to clarify the truth to their
fellow countrymen about the lies and slander that were spread against them.
After listening, agonized, he muttered, "How silly! How silly!" I further clarified and explained the truth and talked about the beauty of
fellow Falun Gong practitioners' validation of the Fa after
practicing Falun Gong. I explained how and why these practitioners were not
afraid to step forward to validate the Fa. Although he did not agree, he
understood. I also told him about the international community's concern and
rebuke of the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong. After this,
I urged him to help me by releasing those fellow practitioners whose names were
listed on the Internet. He agreed that he would try. On another call, I spoke with a certain assistant commissioner in the Public
Security Bureau. Without hesitation, I informed him that I am a concerned
overseas Chinese person. My call was a matter of great urgency because I was
concerned about the arrest of certain friends in mainland China. The persecution
of Falun Gong in China is notorious all over the world. I reiterated details of
the recent persecution, such as Wang Wenyi's shouting at the White House and the
crimes of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. He had nothing
to say. It's interesting to note that normally these kinds of sensitive topics
quickly generate strong debate, as the other side would refute the facts. This
time, there was no debate. He listened attentively for at least twenty to thirty
minutes without interruption. At the end of the call, he inquired who my friend
was and asked for details about the arrest and promised that he would try to
release this person. I hope that fellow practitioners can make the best use of their time to
clarify the truth to these people, to give them the opportunity to redeem
themselves. |
