People's
Daily condemn Falun Gong (07/09/2002)
The People's Daily, the leading newspaper of China, outlined the anti-humanity,
anti-science and anti-society nature of the Falun Gong cult in a commentary
issued today.
The commentary, titled "New crimes of Falun Gong cult,"
says overseas Falun Gong organizations, in defiance of universal
condemnation, hijacked Sinosat, committing another serious crime,
a breach of international law and public morality.
The commentary says mankind has entered an era of information,
in which the smooth and safe transmission of information ensures
the normal operation and development of society.
The international community has adopted relevant conventions and
a set of complete regulations and rules, which the international
community generally recognizes and abides by. This is an example
of human intelligence, a symbol of social progress and civilization
and a reliable guarantee for economic developmentand social stability.
The overseas organization of the Falun Gong cult attacked the
Sinosat, interrupted normal television program signals and compromised
the safety of public information, infringing upon public interests.
This was a flagrant challenge to international order, social morality
and civilization, the commentary says, noting such an illegal act
is sure to be denounced by the international community.
Disregarding rules senselessly, being hostile to humanity and
doing as they want are the common characteristics of all cult organizations
in the world, the commentary says.
Sinosat is used to transmit radio and television signals to China's
rural and remote mountainous regions where people formerlyhad no
access to such information.
Falun Gong has always disturbed and destroyed things which the
general public enjoy and from which the general public benefits,
the commentary points out.
The commentary calls the attack on Sinosat by the overseas organization
of Falun Gong a high crime of the cult led by Li Hongzhi.
It says the attack has once again proved that the cult organization
is a common enemy of mankind.
The commentary calls on people to be fully aware of the true nature
and harm of Falun Gong and to be on guard at all times because the
nature of Falun Gong as a cult means it will continue causing trouble
and destruction.
However, history shows it is doomed to failure and infamy. (xinhua)
