Is It Saving Lives Or Infringing Human Rights?

When someone drowns himself in a river, the crowds on shore cry and dissuade him, yet he refuses to turn around, so people cannot but drag him out of the river. Whereas someone else censures this, saying that people have the freedom of action, stopping one from drowning himself is interfering with his freedom and infringing human rights. Logically, such absurd thing shouldn't have occurred. But facts turn out to be otherwise.

The "Falun Gong" cult in China has caused the deaths of more than 1,600 people, the Chinese government has outlawed the cult and been patiently and painstakingly enlightening and persuading its followers, the overwhelming majority of the misled have woken up to reality and shook off the cult's control. However, there are still some people who refuse to mend their way, leaving no alternative but to pull them back from the verge of death. This actually is a matter of nature's justice and human feelings.

However, the "human rights report" of the US State Department not only deliberately makes no mention of the fact that "Falun Gong" cult has caused the deaths of 1,600 people, but instead charges the act of rescuing the five obsessed "Falun Gong" followers from the collective suicidal blaze at Tiananmen Square with opposing religious freedom and infringing human rights.

Nevertheless, US charge of the saving of lives with infringing human rights is directed against other countries. In 1993, the United States moved massive armed forces and police to lay long-term besiege on the stronghold of the David cult, and finally sent out aircraft, tanks and cannons and mounted large-scale attack on it, the cult leader and those under duress were buried in flames. .Concerning this, the US authorities have never thought it to be something against religious freedom and infringement upon human rights.

Then, how should the absurd charge of the US State Department be looked upon? This seems incomprehensible, actually it is not difficult to understand. The question here is who are those saved and what kind of the rights and persons is infringed. For those who are bent on undermining China, the more developed the "Falun Gong" cult, the better; and the more people who commit suicide and are murdered, the better; and in that case, China was consequently thrown into chaos, and then they would fulfill their wishes. Whereas outlawing the "Falun Gong" cult and rescuing the crazy followers mean saving China and "encroaching" upon the cult's "right" to undermine China.

For the Chinese, vicious curse or charges of any sort deserves no attention. Victims of the cult, whether they are men or women, old or young, are all our flesh and blood. The "Falun Gong" cult which harms people's lives and brings calamity to the country and people must be firmly banned. Otherwise, letting the cult hoodwink people and not helping the dying persons who are murdered or commit suicide is most inhuman.

There were heretic bodies of different names in Chinese history. Although they had misled some people for a while, they were finally spurned by the people because they did things that were against reason and nature and wrecked the country and ruined the people. "Falun Gong" cult cannot escape the same fate. Saving lives and infringing human rights are two completely different things, how can they be lumped together? Certain people brazenly laud the "Falun Gong" cult who harms the people, this can only expose its sinister intentions of plunging China into confusion.
