The link you have provided to me only further solidifies my belief that Falun Dafa is very good and does no harm to anyone. I think when you truly look at both sides it is very plain that the Chinese Communist party are in the wrong.
To look at it from another angle even if Falun Gong were a cult (which they are not), is it right to senslessly torture and imprisson them???
I'd like to clear up a few misconceptions and give you all an idea of why the Falun Gong practitioners went to such great lengths to broadcast their message.
Falun Dafa otherwise known as Falun Gong is a body and mind cultivation practice system based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Falun Dafa is totally free of charge (there are no membership or tuition fees), it's open to the public (people from all races, religions and age groups are welcome) and it's free from any political, religious or commercial motivations. The practice was opened to the public in 1992. In a period of about a decade over 100,000,000 people joined the practice, over 70,000,000 practitioners are based in China.
In 1999, Jiang Zemin banned the practice of Falun Gong. He feared the number of practitioners threatened the communist parties power. This is unfounded as practitioners are only interested in being good people in all situations and have no political motives. Practitioners have had their homes stormed by police and have had all Falun Dafa related meterials removed from their homes. Some have been sent to re-education camps where practitioners are subjected to extreamly harsh and inhumane treatment daily. Many practitioners have been assigned to mental institutions where they a forced to take strong medication that has in many instances caused brain damage, paralysis and in some instances death. Over 100,000 practitioners have been sent to labour camps and over 1000 (a conservative esitmate) have been beaten and tourtured to death. All media access has been blocked from China making it extreamly difficult for practitioners to inform the outside world of the desparate situation in China. In China you can be arrested and beaten simply for holding a falun dafa banner in public. There would be a public outcry if a government in a western country persecuted its people in such a manner.
This broadcast was simply a desparate messure taken in a desparate situation to let the worlds people know the immense scale of the persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in China.
I have recieved great benefit from this practice and hope that many more people can experience the same.
