Interview With a U.S. Writer Who Discusses the "April 25, 1999 Appeal" (Photo)
(Clearwisdom.net) Editor's Note: To commemorate the eleventh anniversary of the April 25 Appeal, Clearwisdom presents this as one of a series of republished articles from years past. The April 25th Appeal was notable not only for its size, but also because it was remarkably peaceful and orderly. Some 10,000 practitioners gathered in central Beijing that day, peacefully protesting for their civil rights. The CCP propaganda machine, however, in its quest to crush Falun Gong at the bidding of then Party Chairman Jiang Zemin, twisted the facts to serve its own motives. To this day, CCP propaganda accuses Falun Gong of "laying siege to the Zhongnanhai Central Government Compound" on April 25, 1999, falsely alleging that the 10,000 gathered posed a violent threat to the nation and its leaders. Nothing could be further from the truth, of course, as this series of articles documents from various angles.
The Truth About the April 25 Appeal -- Deceptive Propaganda Twists Peaceful Protest into "Justification" for Violent Repression
(Clearwisdom.net) In the morning of
April 25, 1999, over 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners began to
gather in neat order outside the State Appeals Office in Beijing,
close to Zhongnanhai, the CCP's central government compound. They
sought a return of the open environment to practice Falun Gong that
they had enjoyed for years, and more specifically, the release of
dozens of practitioners who had recently been arrested in nearby
Tianjin City. Tianjin police told them to take their request to the
State Appeals Office in Beijing, and this is exactly what they
did.
