September 2000

I am a westerner, from Australia, and am writing this letter appealing to the kindness in your hearts to seriously re-consider your thoughts and actions in the government led crimes against Falun Dafa and Falun Dafa practitioners.

I find it appalling and extremely difficult to understand how so many people including some police can participate in the inhumane and unbelievably brutal torture and severe mistreatment of their own countrymen, purely because their values or beliefs are different from those of Jiang Zemin. These innocent people value Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance and practice these values in their everyday lives.

Do not get swayed by immoral people to do bad and disgusting things to innocent good people.

Those who are carrying out the horrific mistreatment of Falun Dafa practitioners, I ask you to please STOP AND THINK for a few moments about what it is you are actually doing. Each and every person who is participating in these horrific actions towards genuinely good and innocent people is ultimately responsible for their own actions.

Later when you realize what it is you have actually done, it will be too late and you will deeply regret it.

Think about it: as a human being in your country is there any possible justification for committing such atrocities towards people who are practicing how to be Truthful, Compassionate and Tolerant/Patient in their everyday lives. They genuinely want to become better people. Is this really a crime?

These people that are being persecuted, some tortured to death are people just like your mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter. I don't think you would treat or like to see your family treated in this way even if their beliefs or faith were different from yours.

I have read many documented reports from Chinese people sharing the experiences they endured in police custody and have seen the photos of what they looked like after their mistreatment. These stories have brought tears to my eyes on many occasions.

I implore you, please make a careful choice before participating in the cruel and horrific actions against innocent people. The whole world is watching now and is finding out about these abuses.

The world is also finding out the truth about Falun Dafa and about all of the great benefits that practitioners receive. People know that Falun Dafa is genuinely good. That is why it is now practiced in over 40 countries and is spreading rapidly. It is an enormous pity that only China the great place where Falun Dafa actually originated cannot see and enjoy the truth that the rest of the world is now appreciating and embracing.

I have been practicing Falun Dafa for over one year and I cannot find the words to express the deepest level of my appreciation for having been given this gift called Falun Dafa.

The rest of the world can see the real facts of what is happening in China, including the many detailed reports and photos of the persecution. Even though Jiang Zemin is spreading lies and hiding the truth from people in China by trying to control all information and the media, as well as committing atrocities against the Chinese people, the truth cannot be hidden for much longer.

Again I appeal to the kindness that I believe is in your hearts. Please do not mistreat innocent and peaceful people.

Sincere regards,

An Australian Practitioner
