“The United Nations Conventions are clear on this issue,” [stated lawyer] Mr. Iglesias. “If justice cannot be served in the countries where alleged crimes of genocide and torture occur, it is the responsibility of the international community to step in. In Spain, we have laws that can accept and try such cases, and that’s exactly what we intend to do.”

On the day after my arrival, I joined two practitioners in contacting the Swedish embassy in Madrid to tell them about the lawsuit, the persecution of Falun Gong in China and how China has extended the persecution to foreign countries. After explaining the facts to them, the staff wanted to know more and also wanted to attend the press conference that was to be held the day after the lawsuit was officially filed.

When they saw that Yuxia's arms were just hanging like they were paralyzed, they were shocked and asked her what happened. Yuxia told them it was caused by the torturous handcuffing over the shoulder and behind the back applied by the labour camp guards. The relatives then demanded that the camp guards explain why they tortured their sister like this, the guards replied, "It was for your sister's own safety." Only the Jiang Zemin regime could fabricate such ridiculous excuses.

In July 2001, under pressure from Jiang Zemin's regime, the couple were forced to leave their home and work, to live on the streets. As of October 1, 2003, the Wuqiao County police have continuously harassed their friends and relatives, including their child, who does not practise Falun Dafa. Coordinated by Jing County police department, officers posted in Wuqiao County have been incited to deceive, impose fines, and falsely arrest Liu Zhigang and Gao Lihua's family both day and night for over two years.

Recently, the branch of Jiang Zemin's national security department in a northern city started to collect information about Falun Gong practitioners' relatives, their relatives' employers and their home phone numbers. Apparently it has something to do with the lawsuit overseas that is charging Jiang with genocide. The national security department is trying to figure out the practitioners who have overseas relatives and block the channels that might be used for the delivery of evidence about the persecution.

On June 27, 1999, right after the Chicago experience sharing conference, Teacher Li came to see the practitioners at the morning practice in Chicago's Olive Park. While trying to get closer to him, I stumbled and fell into the fountain. Teacher Li pulled me out of the fountain and answered the many questions I asked him. After Teacher Li left, on my way to the restroom I started to run very fast in spite of my disability. I was very surprised. I usually have a hard time walking. How could I run all of a sudden?

As particles of Dafa it should be only natural to do so and from that perspective there should not be a need to push or pressure each other into doing so. It is my understanding that Master has never pressured us into anything, so why should we practitioners act differently when it comes to this? We all should be aware of the importance of the things we are doing today, but we cannot forget to cultivate ourselves in the midst of this.

Mental and physical torture is inflicted upon him daily. My brother's prison term ended on Dec. 15, 2002. However, when that was finished, he was transferred directly from the Labour Camp to a Brainwashing Centre by the Nanjing 610 office and the police. The brainwashing camp has no time limit. As long as he refuses to renounce his belief in Truth-Benevolence-Forbearance, my brother is not allowed to go home. It has been more than five months since he was locked up in an unknown place. He continues to suffer immensely and his life is in great danger.

The National Palace Museum located at the suburbs of Taipei is world famous tourist attraction. For visitors from Mainland China and other overseas Chinese people, it is a "must see" spot. Recently, I often went to the National Palace Museum to clarify the facts to the Chinese people.

There is an old Chinese saying, “Who could have guessed it was a blessing in disguise when the old man on the frontier lost his mare?” It means a loss may turn out to be a gain, or misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. It is now a common adage. This saying originally comes from a story in “Lessons from the Human World” of Hua Nan Zi compiled by Liu An in the West Han Dynasty. The story is as follows.
