“Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou urged the Beijing government to treat Falun Gong with tolerance. Mayor Ma made the request when attending the 2002 Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference in Taiwan.
He said that freedom of religion and belief is the most important and essential aspect of a free society, and is a basic right and freedom. He also mentioned that he was very sorry to learn that Falun Gong is being oppressed and that practitioners are even persecuted to death (in China).
Ma called on Mainland China to rethink Chinese culture’s attributes of diversity, tolerance and containment.
