On World Human Rights Day, more than twenty professors and students from MIT wrote to the president of Tsinghua University, MIT's sister school in china, expressing their concern for the well being of many Falun Dafa practitioners at the University. They called to stop the murder and the torture! They pointed out that Tsinghua University is an institution of research and education, which should respect freedom of opinion, and allow people to study and cultivate Falun Gong without interference.

Walk near Chinese Delegation: Put down everyday people's sentimentalities, persist till the very end, and use our wisdom to reveal the truth. As a high technology talent, one Washington DC practitioner took her lovely 2-year-old daughter to join a dinner and meet with a Chinese recruiting delegation at the Chinese Embassy. Those misled people from the embassy and the delegation were shocked to see that Falun Dafa practitioners were not like what the Chinese media said. On the contrary, overseas Falun Dafa practitioners have successful careers and happy families.

Today, 263 people published solemn announcements and claimed that all they have said and done and that others have written, representing them, under great pressure and forced brainwashing by the evil, that didn't conform to Dafa are completely void! They would come back to the Fa rectification and double their efforts in making up the loss they caused to Dafa. They will safeguard Dafa with determination and clarify the truth and offer salvation to people.

Police authorities in Dumeng County, Heilongjiang Province changed the term "legal appeal" to "illegal appeal, a crime."[So they can legally arrest and torture Falun Gong practitioners] Under this change they detained practitioner Cui Ruhui and Li Hongying indefinitely. After the two decided to go on a hunger strike, the lawless police used all kinds of brutal means to torture these practitioners. Mu Junling, the head of the gang, who is director of the county's "610 Office," ordered the enforcers to "use any means in dealing with (the practitioners). I'll take the responsibility should anything happen (If the practitioners die from torture)." [The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems]

An aged university professor from Shanghai went to Tiananmen Square with a tourist group to watch the hoisting of the national flag. Because the sunlight was dazzling, he raised his right hand above his eyebrow to block out the light and suddenly, a plainclothes police walked out of the crowd and beat him without any explanation. Afterwards, the officer said the reason he beat the professor was, "that his gesture was a Falun Gong movement."

The Gathering was held by United Nations Association Pacific-LA Chapter and Citizens Commission on Human Rights International. Falun Gong practitioners presented a report about the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China.

Falun Gong practitioners from Hong Kong witnessed the persecution in the prisons of China: the prisons used methods like solitary confinement, guilt by association (make others suffer because of association), sleep deprivation, prolonged and arduous physical labor, depriving of basic living needs, brainwashing, intimidation, and deceit. The persecutors use all these methods to torture practitioners mentally and physically in order to force them to give up their belief.

Practitioners from Queensland, Australia participated in the celebration of 100^th Anniversary of Queensland. Practitioners wore yellow shirts and jackets bearing the phrases: "China: Stop persecuting Falun Gong", "Falun Dafa is good", "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance" in both Chinese and English. The practitioners were also holding big golden banners that read: "Falun Dafa", and "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance" while they slowly walked in a parade, accompanied by the solemn music "Pudu".

The letter of a practitioner applying for political asylum: It has been 8 years since I left my home in China and came to Japan. My dream of returning to my home country upon finishing my studies has not yet been realized. Only because I believe in "Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance", I am not allowed into China by the government controlled by Jiang Zemin.

On November 1, the "610 Office" kidnapped me to a Brainwashing Class. In addition to my firm refusal to follow all of their commands and orders, I also insisted on practicing, and using righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements that were controlling them. On the morning of November 8, some fellow practitioners and I walked out of the vicious Brainwashing Class together, and went to Tiananmen Square to rectify the Fa. At several places, including under the national flag, we spoke loudly, saying, "Falun Dafa is Good!" We also went into the Tiananmen Fort to clarify the truth. We were then arrested and sent to the Miyun County Detention Center. After we went on a hunger strike for 7 days, the vicious police sent us to the railway station and set us free.
