【新唐人2013年04月26日訊】14年前的「4.25」那一天，有上萬名法輪功學員，在中南海國務院信訪辦和平、理性上訪。「4.25」見證者表示，法輪功學員和平理性的風姿，令中共非常害怕。中共到底害怕甚麼﹖下面聽聽「4.25」見證者的說法。

1999年4月25號，上萬名法輪功學員和平上訪。

親身經歷「4.25」事件的搜狐網路員工焦健表示，當時的場景她至今記憶猶新，她表示，警察悠閒的散著步，法輪功學員的請願人群平和、整齊、靜靜的排列在馬路一側，沒有群情激奮、沒有暴力，甚至連交通都井然有序的沒有受到影響。

前搜狐網路員工焦健：「雖然當時周圍有不少人，但是大家都很安靜的站在路邊的人行道上，後來是有人，我記得特別清楚，因為當時那個地方，它路口上是有武警穿制服的人在那站崗，不讓我們進去的，後來是有人出來，把我們從面的一胡同里，帶到府右街上，大家都很自覺了，所以當時的交通、整個人流呀，秩序非常正常。」

當時，因為中共當局下令停止出版法輪功書籍，特別是天津發生了公安非法抓捕和毆打法輪功學員事件，因此，從中國各地自發前往北京向當局澄清真相的法輪功學員，在「4.25」當天提出三項合法訴求，包括：釋放被非法抓捕的法輪功學員，允許出版法輪功書籍，給法輪功修煉群眾一個寬鬆的修煉環境。

焦健表示，當時在場的法輪功學員都自覺的靜靜等著當局的回覆，並主動清理身邊的衛生。當時任總理的朱鎔基出來接見學員，同意學員公開煉功等要求後，他們就靜靜的離開了。

焦健說，當時地面乾淨的沒有一片紙屑，就連警察抽的煙頭都被撿乾淨了。

法輪功學員們在99年「4.25」的和平上訪，不僅充份體現這個群體良好的道德風貌，還贏得了目擊民眾和執勤警察的好評。各國媒體的報導，也都對這起事件及和平解決給與了高度評價。

然而，這一切令時任中共總書記的江澤民恐懼不已﹗因為自發上訪的群眾，怎麼會比訓練有素的軍隊組織的還嚴密？江澤民決心剷除法輪功。

1999年7月20號，江澤民發動了對法輪功的血腥鎮壓。他動用了整個國家輿論工具，對法輪功進行誹謗。一時間「4.25」也被很多人說成是搞政治，以及引發江澤民動用國家機器鎮壓的導火索。

十四年來，數百萬法輪功學員遭受無端的逮捕刑求，數十萬人被非法勞教，數千人被關進精神病院，被強行注射損害神經的藥物，婦女遭到強迫墮胎、輪姦等非人折磨，無數人被折磨至死。

江澤民不但製造天安門「自焚」偽案，還下密令，對法輪功學員「名譽上搞臭、經濟上搞垮、肉體上消滅」，甚至「打死算自殺，不查身源，直接火化」等，他還成立了專門迫害法輪功的「610」辦公室。

法輪功學員在中共的血腥迫害開始後，便拉開了全面反迫害、和平理性講真相的歷程。

一名逃亡醫生親身見證了中共系統的活摘法輪功學員器官。他披露，有多達300萬法輪功修煉人被勞教。在2008年奧運會前，有大約6萬5千人在心臟還跳動著的時候被活摘器官。

日前，大陸《Lens視覺》雜誌發表一篇《走出「馬三家」》的調查報告，報告中詳細描述了「馬三家」勞教所採取酷刑，折磨、迫害法輪功學員和上訪人員的事實經過。

同時，美國《紐約時報》簽約攝影師杜斌，將在5月1號全球網路公映的記錄片《小鬼頭上的女人》，同樣記錄了「馬三家女子勞教所」裡被勞教人員如何慘遭迫害。

杜斌表示，發生在這些女人身上的殘酷一幕，僅僅是全中國數百家勞教所裡的一角。

十四年了，法輪功學員們付出了鮮血和生命、付出了個人的所有「反迫害」。我們相信﹕歷史將銘記「4.25」這一天，和這個群體。

April 25th Will Forever Be Remembered In History

14 years ago, on April 25, 1999, ten thousand Falun Gong

practitioners went to Zhongnanhai, the State Council, to appeal.

Witnesses say that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) treated

Falun Gong practitioners’ peaceful and rational appeal as a threat.

What indeed is the CCP afraid of?

Let’s take a look.

On April 25, 1999, ten thousand Falun Gong

practitioners made a peaceful appeal.

Jiao Jian, a former staff member of Soho network,

witnessed the April 25th event.

Jiao said that she still has a fresh memory

about what happened on that day.

She said that the police were very

relaxed and were just walking around.

Falun Gong groups were peaceful, disciplined,

quietly standing along the sidewalk.

They were not agitated, there was no violence.

Even the traffic operated as usual.

Jiao Jian, former Soho network staff:

“Although there many people gathering,

everyone was quietly standing along the sidewalks.

Later, someone said I remember clearly, at that time,

there were armed police standing in the road on duty,

they didn’t allow us to join the protest.

Then someone came to guide us

into one street, Fuyou Street.

Everyone was self-disciplined, therefore, the traffic,

and pedestrians passed without obstruction.”

At that time, the Chinese regime had banned

publication of Falun Gong books.

Especially, in Tianjin, police illegally arrested

and beat up Falun Gong practitioners.

Thus, Falun Gong practitioners from different cities

went to Beijing to clarify the truth to the authorities.

They raised three demands on April 25th.

It included the release of detained Falun Gong practitioners;

allowing practitioners to publish Falun Gong books;

allowing Falun Gong practitioners to practice

in a peaceful environment.

Jiao Jian said that the Falun Gong practitioners

were quietly waiting for the authorities’ response.

They volunteered to clean up

the rubbish around them.

Premier Zhu Rongji came out and

met with practitioners,

Finally, Falun Gong practitioners were

assured that their demands would be met.

upon the reaching of this resolution,

everybody dispersed quietly.

Jiao Jian said that when they left,

the area was extremely clean,

without a single scrap of paper left lying on the ground,

even the police’s cigarette ends were cleaned away.

Falun Gong practitioners’ peaceful appeal,

not only demonstrated their virtuous practice,

but also won the public and police’s praise.

Overseas media also positively reported that

the incident was peacefully resolved.

However, the incident was considered a threat by

Jiang Zemin, the CCP chairman at the time.

Jiang wondered how come a volunteer mass appeal

showed a higher standard of discipline than his army?

Jiang made up his mind to “eradicate” Falun Gong.

On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin launched

a brutal suppression of Falun Gong.

Jiang used all the state media channels

to defame Falun Gong.

Soon, the April 25th incident was said

to have had a political purpose.

This became an excuse for Jiang to use all means

to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.

Over the past 14 years, millions of Falun Gong

practitioners have been illegally arrested and tortured.

Tens of thousands of them have been illegally

sent to labor camps.

Thousands of them were sent to mental hospitals,

forcibly injected with drugs that damaged their nerves.

Women have been subjected to forced abortion and

suffered gang rape. Many have been tortured to death.

Jiang Zemin not only designed the Tiananmen

self – immolation incident to defame Falun Gong,

but also gave secret orders to act against Falun Gong:

“Defame their reputations, destroy them physically and

financially”; “count a beaten-to-death case as suicide” ;

“directly cremate the body without informing

the family or checking the identity.”

Under Jiang’s direct order, the “610 Office” was established

for the purpose of executing the persecution of Falun Gong.

Falun Gong practitioners began to appeal after the

CCP’s cruel persecution got under way.

They soon progressed to large anti torture demonstrations,

peacefully and rationally clarifying the truth world wide.

A doctor who had escaped from China witnessed

the CCP’s theft of Falun Gong practitioners’ organ while they were still alive.

The doctor said that more than 30,000 Falun Gong

practitioners have been sent to labor camps.

Before the 2008 Olympic Games, more than 65,000 people’s

organs had been taken while their hearts were still beating.

Recently, China-based Lens magazine published an

investigative report titled “Walking out of Masanjia”.

The report described details and facts on

how Masanjia used torture methods to persecute Falun Gong practitioners and petitioners.

Du Bin, the US’s New York Times subcontracting

photographer will launch an online screening documentary “Women Above Ghost’s Heads” on May 1.

The movie shows the tragedy of Masanjia

Women’s Labor Camp’s cruel torture of inmates.

Du Bin said that the tragedy that happened to these

female inmates,

was only a small portion of the tortures being revealed

as having taken place in hundreds of labor camps.

14 years has passed, Falun Gong practitioners have devoted

their blood, life and actions to protest against torture.

We believe that, April 25th, this day as well as Falun Gong

itself, will be remembered in history forever.
