Practitioners hope that it will allow more people to learn about the practice of Falun Dafa that has already benefited 100 million in almost 60 countries. The board also reveals how Jiang's regime have persecuted Falun Gong, brutally murdering over 540 practitioners and beating and torturing thousands more.

Hundreds of German Dafa practitioners gathered in the scenic forest region of Erbach in the middle of Germany, to hold the annual new-year activity of group experience sharing and studying the Fa [teachings of Falun Dafa]. This has taken place every year since 1998 and the number of practitioners who join the activity increases every year.

"Supporters of the Tibetan cause wholeheartedly join the demonstration against this “anti-subversion law” in Hong Kong. Since Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997, basic liberties have been constantly decreased; freedom of thought, freedom of association, freedom of belief...movements like Falun Gong are being repressed more and more...this is why we support all initiatives that defend people’s fundamental right of freedom."

During his illegal detention Song Xingguo had the courage and determination to go on hunger strike for a whole year to protest. Why did he deny himself his basic human needs? Because the Jiang regime had denied him every possible human right that he should have been entitled to, and wanted total control over his body, mind and spirit. So he used his hunger strike as a means to show the evil authorities that they could never control his heart or mind. Yet, for this, the enraged abusers murdered him.

You may wonder, why do these criminals treat the practitioners this harshly? Because Deputy Director Shi Changjing told them that for every practitioner they forcefully "transform" [renounce Falun Gong], the abusers' sentence would be reduced by a certain number of days. Shi Changjing also told them to torture practitioners to the extreme.

They beat on my forehead with their palms and called it "confusing me" which left me unable to remember the things that had happened before…They relished the unbearable pain they were causing me! They said the government (police) instructed them to do so. They told me, "If you die, the government said all we have to do is to provide a death certificate."

The policemen there used a form of water torture and poured large quantities of ice-cold water on him over a long period of time, causing him to incur serious disabilities. His muscles atrophied, he had nerve damage, he became incontinent, and he lost his voice due to vocal cord strain. After even more torture, he lost his memory, became paralyzed, and couldn't take care of himself.

Despite the cold weather, tens of thousands of spectators showed up to watch the day-long event. The practitioners' efforts drew warm applause and cheers from the audience. The host introduced Falun Gong to the spectators and mentioned that Falun Gong is practised in over 50 countries, bringing improved mental and physical health to millions of people.

Author Gavin Menzies has written a book claiming that an enormous Chinese fleet discovered America in 1421, 70 years before Columbus. He says that they mapped the world and created settlements in North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, across the Pacific and in the Indian Ocean. Here is a radio interview with the author.

'“The law proposal is not in line with international human rights principles. It would turn Hong Kong into a police state”, human rights expert Frances D’Souza said in a meeting of the Journalist Alliance in Hong Kong at the beginning of December. According to her, the Anti-subversion law would make possible for one to commit treason without even being aware of it.'

Four Falun Gong [practitioners] have been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for [tapping] into cable television systems in western China.

When I saw a green light a long way off, I would quickly accelerate for fear of the lights changing to red and I would have to stop. I always worried that there might be traffic congestion ahead, and hesitated as to whether I should change lanes. If someone went against the rules and this overtook me, my heart burned with uncontrollable anger. After studying the Fa [principles of Falun Gong], I realized these shortcomings, but it was difficult to overcome them all at once...

For two years and one month, from October 8, 1999 to November 11, 2001, I was detained illegally. These two years of inhumane persecution were only a moment in the history of this persecution. However, this period represented a solid page in history, in which I assisted in clarifying the truth and upholding the principles of Falun Gong.

My younger brother-in-law's marriage had declined to the stage of being close to a divorce. Later, my sister practised Falun Gong; she let go of what had happened before and started treating her husband kindly. Their marriage became better. My brother-in-law was deeply moved as he witnessed the changes in his wife brought about by Falun Dafa. Thereafter, he became interested in Dafa and soon started to practise himself.
