'Practitioners in Germany have informed the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong about Mrs. Lin’s situation, as well as of the renewed arrests of practitioners in Wuhan and asked them to thoroughly investigate. German friends of Mrs. Lin have further contacted the German State Department, the German Legation in Beijing and the German Consulate in Shanghai, to work toward the immediate release and return of Mrs. Lin.'

"Since we in Germany hear more and more incidents of torture in Chinese police detention facilities, we are imploring you to please have this incident investigated specifically and intervene on our behalf, to affect the release of Mrs. Lin."

"The Taiwan Falun Dafa Association publicly and solemnly condemns and protests the Hong Kong government regarding their violent deportation of Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioners, their helping Jiang regime's expansion of autocratic power, and their brutal violation of Falun Gong practitioners' human rights."

'Canadian Nicole Milot’s stand draws a lot of attention. Not surprising, considering that she and her colleagues continually offer demonstrations of Falun Gong...With her eyes closed, Milot gives a demonstration. Her serene laugh speaks volumes: “My heart has changed and I’m no longer as agitated. There is more peace in my life.”'

Ms. Liu was an employee of the Shuangcheng City Beer Factory in Heilongjiang Province. On February 6, 2003, while peacefully distributing a New Year greetings card with the characters "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance" on it to a passenger in their own mini-van, she and her husband were reported to the police, who then unjustly took away the couple and their van. How could it be a crime to honour the values of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance?

It wasn't until the noon of October 14 that the perpetrators notified Xiong's family members that she was dead. In order to escape responsibility, they lied to Xiong's family, claiming that she suffered from a high fever due to influenza and that they were not able to resuscitate her in time. When Xiong's family saw her corpse, her teeth were clenched tightly, her whole body was covered with bruises and injuries and her wrists showed deep marks from being hung with iron-chains. The state of her body was the proof of the vicious treatment she had been subjected to.

The means they used are a collection of various nation-wide evil methods, all of which are very vicious and base. Last June, a Dafa practitioner was killed at Ward No. 7 in the Dabei Women's Prison. At the end of 2002, over 10 Dafa practitioners had been persecuted to death. But the criminals who killed those practitioners are still protected by Jiang's power and haven't been punished yet. They still conduct crimes out of their desire for political self interest and monetary gain.

The next morning he dropped his disguise of a smiling face and revealed his vicious, real self. He continually slapped my face for the entire morning until it was all swollen. As he hit me, he snarled, "Will you be transformed or not?" I sternly replied, "I will not!" "If you are not transformed I'll hang you under the persimmon tree in the courtyard. In the past, they [he was referring to other Falun Gong practitioners] were all hung under that tree. Or I'll lock you up in a solitary room." When he saw that I was not intimidated, he sent for an electric baton and started to shock me with it.

It's very difficult to read Falun Dafa books in the labour camp. Some of the guards with compassionate thoughts will secretly help practitioners. One practitioner often "borrows" Falun Dafa books from a guard for everyone to share. When the officials do a search in the cells one of the guards will warn the practitioners beforehand.

"The International Education and Development Organisation said on August 14 2001 at a United Nations conference, that "The Tiananmen Square Self-Immolation was staged by the Chinese government." Now, the whole world knows about this. But, what answer have we received from the Chinese government?"

When I heard that Weiguo Xie’s fiancée, Yongjie Zhu, had been illegally arrested in China, I was very sad and anxious. When I read an article written by Weiguo which mentioned that, although Weiguo’s parents were against their decision to get married, Yongjie still waved him off with a smile when he boarded the airplane for Britain, my heart was touched, and I could not hold back my tears over her benevolence.

She had on a smile on her face and talked about her cat that had left this world in a peaceful yet nostalgic tone. I was astonished to discover that all of a sudden, I was very touched. Touched by the gentleness and friendliness of the cat. Touched by how much she misses it as she reminisces over the little details of the memories of the cat.

The police had all come from different cities, and, realising this rare opportunity, the practitioners took out truth clarifying newspapers and VCDs to tell them about Falun Gong. Many groups of police came by, and we continued to clarify the truth to them.

In July 2001 and July 2002, in meetings with the Chinese Foreign Minister, I and my predecessor raised continuing Canadian concerns about human rights in China, including freedom of spiritual practice. Please be assured that we will continue to make our views known to the Chinese authorities.

Australia considers that China's ban on Falun Gong breaches fundamental rights of assembly and free expression. Australia also believes China's treatment of Falun Gong members in China contravenes the international Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which China has signed, but not yet ratified, and the convention Against Torture.
