Ireland: Letter from a Practitioner to a Member of Parliament
In this country I've heard people complain about our justice system. [...] But, at least we have a Justice System. In China, anyone who is a practitioner of Falun Dafa, or is suspected of being a practitioner, can be picked up from home, work, the street, at any time, with no warrant, no reason, no trial and no evidence, and simply disappear. |

Letter from the Falun Dafa Association of Finland calling for the Release of Charles Li
"Charles Li has a fiancée in the US and friends who are longing very much for his release, as are all Falun Gong practitioners around the world.

After learning that Lili went to Beijing to appeal, her older sister said with emotion, "Aren't people practising Falun Gong trying to become better people? Aren't people simply seeking justice when they appeal in Beijing? I hope she will succeed and come back soon." The fact that Lili was persecuted for her appeal made her family further realise the irrationality of Jiang's regime in persecuting Dafa practitioners. |

Solemn Declarations from Non-Practitioners
I do not practise Falun Dafa but my husband does. Consequently he was persecuted and sentenced to forced labour "education." In order to visit my husband, I was forced to say slanderous words against Dafa. I now hereby declare that all the bad things I said against Dafa are null and void. Falun Gong practitioners are all good people. |

A Few Words About Fear
Owing to selfishness, we unconsciously have misgivings and worries because we have learned to protect our own interests. It comes from the narrow-mindedness and insignificancy of selfishness. We are naturally nervous and cautious when the mentality of fear emerges because this selfishness does not come with the broadness and open-mindedness of selflessness, let alone perfect calmness. |

Many of my teachers say that Falun Gong is good. They practise Falun Gong and they are not stupid.
The town I live in is rather small and seldom are Chinese to be seen here. Yet one day all of a sudden, when we stand in the park and practise I see a thin and visible figure slowly walking towards our direction. Its a young woman with an Asian look. I call her and ask if she is Chinese. To my surprise she answers, Yes. |
