Falun Gong Practitioners in Thailand Clarify the Truth to the Media
By a practitioner in Thailand
(Clearwisdom.net) From June 18 to 20, 2006, various media outlets in Thailand, including Thairath, Daily News and the Chinese newspapers Asian Daily, China Daily, New China and Jinghua Chinese Daily, falsely attributed to Falun Gong the incident of a female teacher from China injuring a parent with a knife. The story said that the police thought that the teacher was a Falun Gong practitioner. The reports badly damaged the reputation of Falun Gong.
Practitioners realized that this was not a coincidence. Behind these reports, the Chinese Embassy was manipulating the newspapers. The practitioners realized that they should find out the truth and save Falun Gong's reputation and sentient beings. They went to the police station in charge of the case, and learned that no policeman had said the teacher was a Falun Gong practitioner and no policeman had said that her behavior was related to any belief. Later, practitioners went to the school where the teacher taught. The principal of the school said that the teacher was sent to this school by a program run by the Department of Education in Thailand and China. After the incident, people did a complete physical and mental examination of this teacher, and found that she had a hereditary mental disease and she had gone insane on another occasion two years ago. Nobody at the school had ever heard that she practiced Falun Gong.
The practitioners also called the newspapers to clarify the truth to them. On June 19, Thairath and Daily News, the first to report this news, made corrections to their reports.
On June 23, two groups of Falun Gong practitioners went to four Chinese newspapers to clarify the truth. They told the newspapers that Falun Gong practitioners follow the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and try to be good people in society, so they would never injure another person. Practitioners also told them that many Falun Gong practitioners in China are jailed, fired from their work places and expelled from schools because they practice Falun Gong. The Chinese government refuses to issue passports to practitioners. So, this teacher could not be a Falun Gong practitioner, because she was a teacher from an official teacher exchange program run jointly by the Thai and Chinese governments. The practitioners told the newspapers that there is no evident for the newspapers to attribute this incident to Falun Gong, and such false reports damage the reputation of Falun Gong. As public media, the newspapers should be objective and just, to report the truth. The practitioners said that the newspapers should correct the reports and make up the damage they caused. They then gave the employees of the newspapers truth-clarification materials and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
The practitioners' actions achieved good results. Four Chinese newspapers made corrections to their reports. Chinese newspapers in Thailand have been controlled by the CCP for a long time. Practitioners clarified the truth to them through this incident. This has helped them to have a better understanding of Falun Gong and the CCP, and gives them a chance to choose a wonderful future.
Through this incident, practitioners in Thailand had an opportunity to clarify the truth, do the three things well and improve as a whole body.

泰國學員向報界媒體澄清事實
文/泰國法輪功學員
【明慧網2006年6月26日】2006年6月18日到20日,泰國thairath報、dailynews報、華文報《亞洲日報》《中華日報》《新中原報》《京華中原聯合日報》,將一則女教師刺傷學生家長事件的新聞與法輪功相連,都有“警察估計該女迷上法輪功而發狂致此”的報導,造成了很壞影響。
事情發生後,大家認識到這決不是一個偶然的巧合,背後是中共使館邪惡之徒的操縱,要立即查明真相,肅清影響,挽救被毒害的眾生。法輪功學員們去了案件所在地警署,了解到警察沒有說過刺傷人的是法輪功學員,或其行為與任何信仰有關的話。
接著,又到博他耶阿魯努泰學校進行了調查,學校董事長素瓦儂耶先生說,該教師是按泰國教育部和中國合作計劃派到學校的,刺傷人後到醫院檢查,從她的病歷得知她患有遺傳性精神病,並於兩年前發作過,沒有聽說過她煉法輪功。
於此同時,很多法輪功學員給報社打電話、跟他們講真相,向他們洪法。6月19日,首先刊登消息的泰文報thairath、dailynews做了更正。
6月23日,兩組學員分頭到四家華文報社講真相,對他們說法輪功修煉“真善忍”做好人,講善惡有報,不會做持刀殺人的事。告訴他們在中國修煉法輪功的人,被勞教判刑,被開除公職、學籍,對法輪功學員不給辦護照出國,能按泰中兩國政府交換教師計劃來泰執教者,不可能是法輪功學員。
而媒體將此事件與法輪功相連,沒有任何根據,造成了對法輪功學員名譽的傷害。作為大眾媒體,本應恪守客觀、公正的原則,站在公義的立場上,傳播社會良知。報社應該更正不實報導,挽回由此造成的一切影響。法輪功學員們還將帶去的真相資料、光盤、“九評”等分送給他們。
通過講法輪功真相和說明事實情況,收到了較好的效果,接下來,四家華文報都做了更正。泰國華文報長期以來受中共控制,這次法輪功學員講真相活動,為使他們進一步認清中共、了解法輪功、選擇自己的未來,打開了一個窗口。
對泰國法輪功學員來說,在更多人站出來講真相、做好三件事上,整體上得到了一次提高。
