  • peaceful appeal of Falun Dafa practitioners

    peaceful appeal of Falun Dafa practitioners

    Commemorating April 25 1999, peaceful appeal of Falun Dafa practitioners
    April 25 1999 is a landmark in peaceful protest, which would have got the nod from Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi.
    45 Falun Gong practitioners who went to a magazine publisher about an article that slandered Falun Gong were told by the Tianjin police to take their appeal to Beijing, to the State Appeals Office adjacent to the Zhongnanhai central government compound.
    Some 10,000 practitioners gathered in central Beijing that day, peacefully protesting for their civil rights. The April 25th Appeal, was notable not only for its size but also because it was remarkably peaceful and orderly.
    The Chinese Communist Party, however, in its quest to crush Falun Gong twisted the facts to serve its own devious motives. To this day, Communist Party accuses Falun Gong of “laying siege to the Zhongnanhai Central Government Compound” on April 25, 1999. They falsely allege that the 10,000 gathered posed a violent threat to the nation and its leaders.
    Nothing could be further from the truth.


    Traffic flowed through smoothly all day long. Some practitioners took the initiative to ensure the smooth flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The practitioners walked alongside the edge of the road, allowing pedestrians to use the sidewalk. They were calm and peaceful.
    The 10,000 left peacefully later that day, after then-Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji met with Falun Gong representatives. Zhu agreed to release the Tianjin practitioners and gave assurances that the government did not oppose Falun Gong. At around 10 pm a message came from the West Gate of Zhongnanhai: “The representatives have returned, and they have conveyed the practitioners’ requests to the leaders of the Central Committee. All practitioners arrested by Tianjin police have been released. Everybody can now go home.” The practitioners cleaned up their surroundings, even picking up the cigarette butts dropped by the police. In less than 20 minutes, all the practitioners had left.
    2 months after the false promises, on 20 July 1999 the State launched the worst ever persecution on Falun Gong practitioners and it continues till this day with at least a million killed for their faith and following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.
    In the past 23 years, numerous practitioners have been arrested, detained, imprisoned, tortured, or even killed for their organs. More than 4,300 are confirmed to have died as a result of the persecution. Many people were misled by the demonizing propaganda and unwittingly aided in the persecution of people who followed Falun Gong. Companies fired their star employees for practicing Falun Gong. Neighbors reported Falun Gong practitioners living next door to the police for cash rewards. People divorced their Falun Gong practitioner spouses for fear of being implicated. Even parents, brothers and sisters assisted the authorities in their attempts to force the practitioners to renounce their faith.


    Twenty three years after the CCP sought to crush Falun Gong ‘in three months’ countless Chinese citizens continue to find peace and spiritual fulfilment through the practice, and more and more people are peacefully standing up for their rights to do just that.

    HC Relief To Odisha Govt On NGT Order On Elephant Corridors

    Cuttack: In a relief to Odisha government, the Orissa High Court on Friday issued an interim stay on the NGT’s order on elephant corridors in the state.

    Accepting a writ petition filed by the government, the High Court issued the stay on the order of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) issued on April 6. The NGT had directed the government to issue a notification for construction of 14 elephant corridors in the state within a month.

    The court has also stayed another case on the matter and issued notice to the Wildlife Society of India and Ministry of Forests, Environment and Climate Change. A division bench of the high court comprising Chief Justice S Muralidhar and Justice Gourishankar Satapathy would hear the combined case on May 9.

    It may be noted that the Wildlife Society of India had moved the NGT in 2016 seeking its intervention in construction of elephant corridors. Hearing the petition, the NGT, in an order on August 17, 2021, had directed the state government to notify the construction of elephant corridors at 14 different locations as identified by Asian Nature Conservation Foundation (ANCF).

    As the government did not initiate any step, the NGT heard the matter again on April 6 and decried the inaction of the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (PCCF). The Tribunal also issued another direction to the government to abide by its order to abide by its order issued on August 17, 2021 within a month.
