Taiwan: Brief Review of the Eight-Year Anti-Persecution Effort in Taiwan - Part 1 (Photos)


By Guofeng

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa spread to Taiwan in 1995. There are now tens of thousands of Taiwanese from different social classes practicing Falun Dafa, including university professors, doctors, lawyers, judges, engineers, government officials, military soldiers, policemen, students, businessmen and housewives. There are exercise sites in every town, with a total of more than 1000 exercise sites throughout Taiwan.

China Times reports that this Falun Gong exercise site was established in a government department

Since the Chinese Communist Party and Jiang Zemin's gang launched the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Falun Gong practitioners in Taiwan have held many types of activities to clarify the facts, including all kinds of parades, rallies, press conferences, and performances. Practitioners have clarified the facts to government officials, filed lawsuits against the murderers, called Chinese people, mailed materials to China, and so on. Due to the practitioners' efforts, more and more people have learned the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution.

This article will briefly review Taiwanese practitioners' eight-year long anti-persecution efforts on the following topics:

  1. SOS Walk and Bicycle Tour in Taiwan
  2. Candlelight Vigils and Collecting Anti-Persecution Signatures
  3. Anti-Torture Exhibitions
  4. World-Wide Clarifying of Facts
  5. Condemning the CCP's Organ Harvesting
  6. "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" Art Exhibitions and "Validating the Fa" Photo Exhibitions
  7. Supporting Withdrawals from the CCP
  1. SOS Walk and Bicycle Tour in Taiwan

In September 2001, Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioners started the SOS Walk in Taiwan to rescue the fellow practitioners jailed in China. Two groups started from Taipei and Yilan, and ended in Kaohsiung two weeks later. In 2003 and 2004, practitioners held two SOS Bicycle Tours to raise awareness of the persecution.

The CCP and Jiang's gang have subjected imprisoned practitioners to more than 100 tortures. To expose their brutality, since 2004 Falun Gong practitioners have held many anti-torture exhibitions and re-enactments in Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, Nantou, Chiayi, Tainan and Kaohsiung.
