Learning the Truth Around the World
In an open letter to the Chinese Embassy in Spain, Spanish practitioners wrote: Jiang Zemin issued an order against Falun Gong practitioners stating, "Kill without Mercy." This has resulted in the police shooting kind-hearted practitioners in public. Please think about it, "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance", what is wrong with these principles? These are the principles that practitioners use to cultivate themselves and guide their actions. Who could be offended by them? Falun Gong is not only an issue that concerns China. Whoever persecutes "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance" must be evil and will receive due retribution!
Jiang Guangyu, a practitioner in Ireland, issued a statement about his 36-hour hunger strike and appeal in front of the Chinese Embassy: Under severe pressure from Jiang Zemin's gang, the police in Changchun recently arrested over 5000 Falun Gong practitioners. They had been secretly given the order issued by the illegal "610 Offices," which states that police may "shoot when arresting Falun Gong practitioners." Guangyu decided to go on a hunger strike to appeal to more people to pay attention to and help stop this brutal persecution.
Learning the Truth and Revealing People's Hearts
A family member of a senior official's friend went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong many times. The senior official worried about them and sighed, "Looking back at every political movement mobilized by the party, none of them have had the support of the people. Falun Gong teaches people to be kind and compassionate, uplifting human morality. The government should have supported them instead of persecuting them. Are we afraid of more people becoming good? Isn't it better with more good people?"
Media Report
On March 26, the Australian Broadcasting Co. reported that the Chinese authorities detained 5000 Falun Gong practitioners in a large-scale arrest in Changchun. Quite possibly 100 people have already died from torture. Three weeks ago, Jiang issued an order that allowed police to shoot Falun Gong practitioners.
Central News Agency March 26 report from Ottawa: More than one hundred Falun Gong practitioners held a candlelight vigil outside the Canadian Capitol Hill on March 25 to mourn the practitioners recently murdered in Changchun City. They called for the help of the Canadian government and people to stop the Chinese government's atrocities in Changchun City.
Voice of America, March 25 report from Geneva: Falun Gong practitioners protested the Chinese government's abuse of their fellow practitioners during the United Nations Human Rights meeting. Spokesman Zhou Shiyu said, "We hope the Human Rights Committee will take actions to stop Jiang's government from persecuting its own people."
Latest News From China
Today, 122 people published solemn announcements declaring that everything that they have written, said and done under the evil's forced brainwashing and high-pressure persecution that didn't conform to Dafa is completely void. From now on, they will dedicate their lives to making up for the losses they caused to Dafa, clarifying the truth to people, and catching up with Teacher's Fa-rectification process. á

Practitioner Cheng Guoxue in Huludao City was illegally detained, extorted out of money and forced to leave home to avoid illegal arrest, all just because he persisted in practicing Dafa. On March 21, 2002, vicious policemen kidnapped Cheng on his way home. He was illegally sent to a forced labor camp the next day. His family does not know his whereabouts even now.
Views and Experiences in Cultivation
Experiences of compiling truth-clarification materials: Under the current situation, one important thing to pay attention to is how to make the truth-clarification materials more effective. This is important because more people can understand the truth and will spread the information that truly offers salvation to large numbers of sentient beings.
The power of righteous thoughts
On the Chinese Lunar New Year Eve of 2002, after the local police harassed me by phone, they drove to my home and forcibly took me away. They tried to force me to write a letter promising not to practice Falun Dafa. On principle, I wouldn't compromise or give in. I asked Teacher to give me strength. I continuously sent forth righteous thoughts. Quickly, I seized a chance and successfully left the dangerous place with Teacher's help.
Dafa practitioners firmly reject the persecution in forced labor camps. They speak out sternly, with a sense of justice, to the wardens: "We are all good citizens abiding by the laws and rules. It is absolutely illegal to detain us. We should be unconditionally released". The wardens have to restrain their course of evil.
On April 25, 2001, I went to a fair in town and chatted with a few fellow practitioners. When the police arrested me, I kept only one thought in my mind: I'm determined not to cooperate with the evil. After 54 days of hunger striking, I was released. Less than 2 months later, I was again arrested at home by the Secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee and the police station. I was released after 76 days of hunger striking.

Views and Experiences
1) I am a retired teacher. I have received many honors and thesis certifications. Due to excessive hard work, I had physical problems, such as a stiff neck, heart disease, and back and leg rheumatic pains. Hospitals had no way to cure these diseases. At the end of 1996, I was so happy to obtain Falun Dafa. From Dafa, I have found the answers to the problems that I could not understand my whole life. All of the diseases I had are now gone. They are all totally gone.
2) An open letter from the illegally jailed Dafa practitioners in Tangshan City Forced Labor Camp to the People's Government: We strongly call for the People's Government to listen to the people's voices. Restore the reputation of Falun Dafa and Master Li Hongzhi. Release all the jailed and persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. The heavens'arrangements and people's wishes will be satisfied only if the government can do all of the above. It would be a blessing for our country and our people.
3) In order to persecute Falun Gong, Jiang's political clique confounds right and wrong, purposely confusing the difference between "instinct" and "human nature." They fire, jail, sentence, torture and kill Falun Gong practitioners, ruining the practitioners' family lives by abusing their power. At the same time, they incriminate the practitioners for "having no human nature" and not taking care of their families.
