Recalling the "April 25" Peaceful Appeal
(Clearwisdom.net) Nine years ago, on April 25, 1999, more
than ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners went to appeal in
Beijing of their own accord. This large-scale, peaceful appeal
under the Chinese Communist regime shocked the world and was viewed
as a miracle in China's recent history. Soon afterwards, Jiang
Zemin's clique launched mass arrests of Falun Gong practitioners
nationwide on July 20, 1999, marking the beginning of a most brutal
persecution of cultivators. What was it about the "April 25" appeal
that so frightened the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)?
Forbearance Manifests Through Truthfulness and Benevolence--On the Ninth Anniversary of "April 25"
(Clearwisdom.net) Editor's Note: To commemorate the ninth
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 seige 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.
