Swedish Practitioner Yvonne Kleberg: Why I travel to Tiananmen

After World War II, many people asked: How could this happen? How could so many people die in the concentration camps? Reflection afterwards revealed the fact that too few good-hearted people reacted or tried to prevent the holocaust. Six million people died under horrific conditions!

Today, at this very moment, a horrifying catastrophe is occurring in China. At least 100 million people are suffering because of this dreadful persecution. They endure bestial tortures. In China, people are persecuted because they want to follow the principle of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance. By using terror for more than two years, the regime and the 610-office has been trying all possible means to eliminate this principle from the minds of the people. Why? Where on earth can it be illegal to be a good-hearted person? Within the human race it must be something of a high esteem, a kind of morality, and a way of life where people express compassion and unselfishness towards each other instead of struggling for power and wealth.

The population of China is almost a quarter of the world's total population! It means one out of four on earth! If the world around China just quietly watches, indirectly accepts it and approves that it is all right to murder, in the most horrific ways, people who live by the principle of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance -- CAN THIS BE THE INTENTION OF THE WORLD? What will be left of the world if the Chinese regime succeeds in eradicating this principle from the minds of the people? WAKE UP, WORLD! What makes you think that this course of action cannot spread outside China's borders? They are already in other countries to spread their fabricated propaganda. No one wants the holocaust to occur again on an even more extensive scale.

I do it for the sake of the Chinese practitioners, so that they shall not feel that they stand alone in this appalling situation, and so that they shall be encouraged to be able to face the evil for a little while more. I want to help them in this difficult situation and maybe give them a little extra strength. One can see it as the way a white blood cell goes to an infected area to defend the body.

By doing this I want the world around to direct their focus back on China and the extreme cruelty that is displayed there. The Chinese Falun Gong practitioners live under a gruesome torment. They cannot make their voices heard anywhere. The constitutional rights of ALL Chinese citizens, to be able to "Xingfang (appeal)" and say that something is wrong, is stripped from all Falun Gong practitioners. Many of them live like refugees in their own country. It concerns not only 100 million practitioners -- it concerns even their families, colleagues, and employers.

As a Falun Gong practitioner and world citizen I consider that it is extremely important to stand up for what Falun Dafa stands for, Zhen-Shan-Ren [Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forberance].

There is no reason, none whatsoever, to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. We try to live by the principle of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forberance, which is obviously good for any country and all the people in world should be able to see this.

I shall, as a world citizen and particle in the Fa, help those practitioners who live under the oppression of the regime to expose the bestial evil in China so that the world around can react before it is too late. Practitioners in China need encouragement from practitioners outside China in order to make it through this evil persecution.

The fact that these atrocities are allowed to exist is the greatest crime in history, particularly because there is no reason for this persecution. To persecute and attempt to eradicate Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance can only be simply evil.
