"Everyone knows that Falun Gong’s appeals are peaceful. As a result, these events particularly deserve our consideration. The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners illustrates that the Chinese government is attempting to impose its will on other countries. From this we can see that the Chinese leaders have no respect for the basic human rights of freedom of expression and belief."

"Please aware that the President is strongly concerned about the state of human rights in China. Therefore he keeps himself informed about the events in China on a regular basis. The human rights should be understood as universal and the violation of them condemned wherever it may occur."

Lin Wenrong now lives in Germany. On 17 January 2003, she went to Wuhan to visit her family. She had originally arranged to come back to Germany in February, but she has not yet returned. According to inside information, Lin Wenrong has been detained and jailed by local police. Her place of detention is still unknown.

'Ms. Ng said, “The main purpose of the visit is to talk to people who are from Hong Kong or who are concerned about Hong Kong, to keep them informed of this very, very important development in Hong Kong. And if they agree with us that this legislation is not good for Hong Kong, they will support us and make their voice known to the Hong Kong government.”'

"We are happy to hear that the Romanian Falun Dafa Association was officially established on February 18, 2003. Practitioners from the Mid-USA Falun Dafa Association extend our sincere congratulations to you!"

She was inhumanely tortured for a long time. A non-practitioner was locked up with her, and when this person came out, she told another Dafa practitioner how good Wang Fengwei was to her, and how Wang Fengwei cared about others. She saw with her own eyes how Wang Fengwei was severely tortured. Her body was extremely weak, and she could not manage to go to the toilet by herself. But the evil people did not care if she died or lived, and continued to shackle her for an extended period of time.

In order to force Zhang Xingyan to wear the jail's uniform, the depraved police tore his clothes (including pants and vest) into pieces. He was naked and held down by two criminals, while others assaulted him. He also suffered the wind blowing in from the open window while the temperature was --20 degree Celsius [-4oF] for three consecutive days and nights. He fell unconscious from the cold.

The practitioners also told the police officers that those who persecute practitioners would not avoid the consequences of "what goes around, comes around". The policemen did not take the kind advice from Dafa practitioners; instead, they said the practitioners were cursing them. After the practitioners were arrested and taken to the police station, all were inhumanly tortured, without mercy.

Practitioner Liu Guangqing was beaten and kicked by a guard named Zhang Yan for reciting Teacher's articles. He was kicked in the groin so viciously that the entire area turned black, blue, and purple colour, and he was in so much pain that he swayed back and forth. But police officers Zhu Zhenlai and Meng Xianliang actually said Liu was pretending.

My colleague on the project had some prior film making experience, yet we were both amateurs with little skill in this area. The small team that had been assembled managed to produce a film in about five weeks. I look at it this way: Even though we are not professionals, with our noble hearts we can accomplish great things for Falun Dafa.

The practitioner said: “At that moment, my friend did not notice that you were looking at that painting as well, and her act hurt you. We apologize. The artist hopes that you would select a painting you like, and she would like to sign the painting and present it to you.” The lady nodded her head quietly, and both of them went back to the exhibition together.

Something happens to me when I wake up in the morning. It happens often, nearly every night, that I wake up in the very early hours of the morning and cannot sleep any more. Yesterday unrolls all over again in my mind’s eye and this time I can see when and sometimes also why I have not behaved as a practitioner should have.

'Eighty-two members of Congress, led by Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Atherton, have asked the Chinese government for the immediate release of Charles Li, a Menlo Park man China suspects of sabotage but who the American officials say is being persecuted because he is a Falun Gong follower.'

'All of the Taiwan Falun Gong followers were forcefully repatriated back to the island last evening, even though they had valid Hong Kong visas. According to the MAC, Hong Kong immigration officials even rudely treated some Taiwan followers, tying them up in anti-riot blankets and forcing then on Taiwan-bound aircraft. "We protest this kind of mistreatment of our citizens," the MAC said in the statement.'

'The "long arm" of Beijing prevented Australian Falun Gong practitioners from joining last year's Chinese New Year Festival in the southern city of Melbourne, lawyers for the spiritual movement said Tuesday.'

On February 8, 2003, U.S. Congressman Robert Andrews clearly indicated that American citizens who travel abroad are protected by the laws of the United States. The Chinese government's arrest of US citizen Mr. Charles Li has violated the international law.

Our procession was outstanding. Two men carrying a large Falun Dafa banner led. Dancers dressed in colourful costumes followed and performed beautiful dances. Then came a large white banner reading, "The World Needs Truth Compassion Tolerance" with the eight practitioners in black and yellow bringing up the rear.

Coming to the U.S. from afar, Nancy wants to tell the U.S. government and people how the Jiang regime wantonly slanders and persecutes innocent people, including all who help uphold justice. Many facts during the past three years have proven that Falun Gong is being persecuted without any legal foundation, and all the excuses used for the persecution are slanders and lies.

The poetry on Clear Harmony is inspired by the practice of Falun Gong and is intended to allow our readers to understand Falun Gong from another level and perspective.
