Dafa Practitioners Question the Judge With Righteousness at the Xinhua District Court of Haikou City, Hainan Province

April 8, 2003

(Clearwisdom.net) On June 20, 2002, the Xinhua District Court of Haikou City, Hainan Province put several Falun Gong practitioners on trial. During the trial, Liaoning Province Dafa practitioner Shang Yong was very righteous in his defense and said, "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa. I adopted this method to clarify the truth to people only because the government has blocked all the channels to appeal and to let people understand the truth about Falun Gong. I did photocopy some material, but its content did not contain anything negative. I did not violate any regulations in the Constitution, so I am not guilty."

Lin Xiong was the other practitioner from Hainan province. During his trial, he said, "When the notary accused me of making use of a 'cult' to harm the implementation of the law, I didn't understand what he was referring to. Is teaching people to be good by following Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, by valuing virtue, and by cultivating their minds evil? In addition, has the notary ever looked at the so-called evidence that was used to charge us, or the record of our testimony? If you have, please point out to me the evil content. What I photocopied were true sayings and signs, so I ask you, out of these sayings, 'Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa,' 'Life needs Truth, Compassion, Forbearance,' which sentence contains evil content, or which sentence is vicious?" In response to the practitioners' righteous statements, the judge could only say, "Laws like this are stipulated by our country, so it does not matter what the content is. As long as you are involved with Falun Gong, you are guilty."

There were a few dozen people sitting in the visitors' benches shaking their heads, and saying, "You can't reason things out these days." Many were moved by Dafa practitioners' righteous thoughts, and said, "Falun Gong practitioners are great!"
