(Minghui.org) Authorities bent on laying blame on local Falun Gong practitioners for recent protests received a response from the local folks that they had not thought to be possible.
The protest was in response to a dispute about a railway project between the government of Guang-an City, Sichuan Province and residents of Linshui, a county under the rule of Guang-an.
100,000 protesters took to streets in mid-May 2015, demanding that Guang-an authorities move a railway project to Linshui, which they claimed to be the optimal solution. The original plan was that Guang-an would host the project.
Authorities called officers to disperse the protesters, causing casualties among the protesters.
The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) committee of Guang-an City called an urgent meeting of all levels of the government to devise schemes that would lay blame on someone else's door.
The media was ordered to follow the governments voice about the protest, which meant to keep quiet about the protesters casualties.
They claimed that local Falun Gong practitioners had played a leading role in the protest and arrested some from Guang-an City.
Yet there were those who did not fall for such a claim, and 63 people signed a petition that put the blame on someone else's door and away from the practitioners.
“Falun Gong is actually good,” one of them wrote. “A good thing should not be persecuted.”
Another one endorsed the lawsuits against the former Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin. “I will be happy to see him brought to justice for launching the persecution of Falun Gong,” he wrote.
They took offense when they heard about the CCP's organ harvesting from living practitioners and demanded it stop persecuting Falun Gong immediately.
