``Falun Gong'' Has Trampled on Human Rights

By Pi Fu

``I have over 100 million pupils,'' ``I have helped over 100 million people to keep fit,'' and ``I have helped them to become good or better''--such words are the signboards which Li Hongzhi paraded energetically both at home and abroad, as if he were a charitable and benevolent spirit.

While Li Hongzhi was blowing his own trumpet, some of his ``great disciples'' also worked at full speed to advocate ``Falun Gong,'' talking glibly and whipping up public opinion, to enshrine and worship a medieval ``spirit'' in the present world, in which modern civilization is highly developed, until it gave out a bad smell befouling the atmosphere, which confused many people.

As a result, ``Falun Gong'' controlled practioners' minds at will, and outrageously trampled on universally accepted human rights in essence. Filled with the heretical atmosphere of ``worship of the master,'' the ``Falun Gong'' cult does not allow people to preserve their values and dignity, or bear any responsibility to themselves, their families, or society. According to it, all the just and reasonable demands of the people are ``karma,'' which should be dispelled and overcome. Li Hongzhi tries, by hook or by crook, to entice people to abandon their human rights, so that he can control them completely. Many of the practitioners of ``Falun Gong'' have hurt or killed themselves, or harmed their families and others. Such behavior is winked at and encouraged by the heretical ideas of Li Hongzhi, who claims that they ``have reached a high level,'' and ``achieved all-round fulfillment.'' Li Hongzhi also claims that ``Nobody but I can save you,'' depriving people of their lives, human rights, health and wealth, attempting to make them become outer shells without any spirit or reason so that they will be at his disposal and enslavement. Just as a practitioner who has seen the error of his ways and repented said, ``Falun Gong'' has no human flavor, and it can only exterminate the human race!

We should uproot ``Falun Gong,'' a cancer of Chinese society, to maintain human rights and return modern civilization to the society.
