Changchun City Cable Television Network Shocks People by Broadcasting the Truth about Falun Gong

The French International Radio Station interviewed Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Jianping on March 8 in France. Zhang Jianping said that some righteous people in Changchun City had revealed the truth about Falun Gong in a television broadcast. Chinese dictator Jiang is most frightened by the facts of the persecution being uncovered. He issued orders for severe punishment, and Falun Gong practitioners in many provinces were sentenced to death. We hope that kind-hearted people around the world, governments from every country, and all human rights organizations will make every effort to help stop further development of such atrocities.

Western Falun Gong Practitioners from Australia Persecuted for Protesting in Tiananmen Square

Voice of America reported on March 7 that seven Australian Falun Gong practitioners, including an Olympic silver medalist, unfurled a protest banner below the huge Mao Zedong portrait in front of Tiananmen Square. They were pushed into police vehicles and taken away. One of the protesters, Jan Becker, won the silver medal for Australia 40 years ago in the Olympic female swimming competition in Tokyo. She said she did this is to let more governments learn the truth about Beijing's cruel suppression of Falun Gong.

Voice of America also reported on March 7 that the Chinese public security personnel arrested seven Australian Falun Gong practitioners near the People's Assembly Hall on Thursday. In addition, Chinese authorities recently deported 53 Western Falun Gong practitioners for attempting to hold protests on Tiananmen Square.

Cultivation Stories

A miracle of rejuvenation - an eyewitness account of the supernormalcy of the Buddha Fa. I am 70 years old now. When I was 40, I had a hysterectomy because of a uterine tumor. I began cultivation after obtaining the Fa in 1997 and that autumn, my menstruation returned. For a woman without a uterus to experience menstruation is a miracle, possible only for a Dafa practitioner.

My cousin has a strong personality, and she had many "enemies" at work. My cousin went to court in a dispute with a colleague, and she lost the case. From then on, the two of them exchanged insults whenever they met. I promoted the Fa to my cousin. Several days later my cousin told me that she met the same co-worker again. At first she wanted to go over and yell at her, but then she remembered that she would give that person de [virtue] if she swore at her, so she calmly walked past her. This was the first time the two did not have a fight when they met. My cousin has begun to change.

They helped to rescue the most valuable items and quickly put out the fire. However, the authorities later arrested these two kind practitioners.

The persecution experience of a female practitioner: in June 2001, the police officers in Tiananmen Square asked me to badmouth Falun Gong. I ignored them and was arrested, put into a police car and sent to a police station in Daxing County. The police officers there beat and kicked me, and slapped my face. One of the officers cuffed my hands to both sides of a wood chair and burned my lips and ankles with a cigarette.
