Former Falun Gong Followers Say "Sorry" to Government

Dozens of women in Tianjin Municipality who once practiced Falun Gong have written letters of regret to the local government and police, saying that they have completely broken away with the cult which has claimed the lives of over 1,600 people on the Chinese mainland.

"To be good people depends more on actions than words," said one of these letters, "Many of us started practicing Falun Gong with the purpose of doing good. However Li Hongzhi cheated all of us."

"Falun Gong has become a cult that jeopardizes society. We became tools of Li Hongzhi, who attempted to overthrow the Chinese government," the letter continued, "What we did hurt all the good people who cared for us. We feel so ashamed, and all we can do now is to say `sorry' to the government and our relatives from the bottom of our hearts."

Relevant ministries of the central government, the Tianjin Municipal People's Government, the Tianjin Police and employers of the former Falun Gong practitioners have been receiving such letters since February 2000. The total number of the letters has exceeded 400.

These women are now undergoing re-education through labor. Their supervisors are trying patiently to help them learn the true nature of Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong through persuasion, heart-to-heart talk and the involvement of social efforts.

These women expressed their resolution in the letters that they would always observe the laws and show responsibility for themselves, their families and the society.
