Dear Editors,

It is sad to see Jiang Zemin's regime's propagandameisters hoodwink more unsuspecting victims.á Those who made the decisions to remove posters containing positive messages about Falun Gong in the Auckland airport and Christchurch bus shelters could only have done so under pressure and without knowing all the facts.

Had those decision-makers known the full situation in China, they might have been content to leave standing advertisements with this message:á "Jiang Zemin: Dictator, Torturer, Murderer."á This was not how Falun Gong practitioners in New Zealand chose to educate the public, however, even though Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Congress, and others could corroborate such a description as accurate.

Instead, Falun Gong practitioners in New Zealand have responded to a most brutal and systematic persecution campaign in a constructive, positive fashion. "Falun Dafa is Good" and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" -- these are messages of hope and peace.

Such expressions of a positive nature should be welcomed and encouraged by community and business leaders worldwide. Truth is a bright light that sends those with dark minds and shady motives scuttling away.á Bring the posters back to spread the light.
