(Clearwisdom.net) On October 9, 2005, the Falun Dafa Association published an announcement on Minghui.org ddd(Clearwisdom.net) to urge Chinese officials at all levels who still assist the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to persecute Falun Gong, including staff members in Chinese Consulates and Embassies outside China, to immediately wake up, abandon the evil path and choose to be good.
Those who refuse to do the right thing and instead continue to follow Jiang's scoundrel regime's persecution policies will meet with due retribution as perpetrators of unforgivable crimes. Once they leave China, overseas Falun Gong practitioners will file civil or criminal lawsuits against all important government or CCP officials who participate in or continue to implement the persecution of Falun Gong and as a result, commit new crimes in addition to those they have already perpetrated against Falun Gong.
Practitioners in many countries around the world have read the "Falun Dafa Association Announcement" in front of Chinese Embassies and Consulates to urge the CCP officials to abandon the evil path and choose to be good.

More than 4.8 million have withdrawn from the CCP and its related organizations. Heaven's destruction of the CCP is a historical inevitability. Gods must punish those criminals who have sinned against Falun Dafa. Those who refuse to do the right thing and instead continue to follow Jiang's scoundrel regime's persecution policies will be severely punished as perpetrators of unforgivable crimes."
The announcement warned that overseas Falun Gong practitioners will file civil or criminal lawsuits against all government or Chinese Communist Party officials who participate in or continue to implement the persecution of Falun Gong once they leave China.

Some passers-by across the road witnessed the incident. They showed great admiration of the demeanor and dignity demonstrated by Dafa practitioners and they were totally disgusted with the base conduct of the Chinese diplomats. People could not help commenting along the following lines: Chinese diplomats, don't you feel ashamed of your childish and ridiculous conduct? You must understand that you are in a democratic country and all citizens here have the right to express their opinions and to appeal. Australia is not under the CCP dictatorship, and your conduct has already violated the civil rights of Australian citizens. The Australian government takes this matter very seriously and the police are also in the process of further investigation about the incident.

Practitioners in Thailand deliver Falun Dafa Association Announcement to Chinese Embassy

The announcement warned those persons who joined the persecution of Falun Gong to stop the persecution, abandon the evil path, and choose to be good, to ensure a future free from punishment for their crimes.
The practitioners from Thailand read the announcement in front of the
Embassy. The Announcement said:
"The persecution of persons based solely
on their practice of the principles of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, and
Forbearance" is unconscionable. At the beginning of this persecution, many
high-ranking officials in the government and the CCP disagreed with Jiang's
policy of persecution, or dealt with the persecution passively. Some even
resisted. Many high-ranking officials also practiced Falun Gong. During the past
six years, through peaceful resistance and a courageous degree of endurance,
Falun Gong practitioners have clarified the truth to the people the world over.
People who were previously deceived have awakened or are in the process of
learning the facts. As a result, they have refused to join the persecution."
"Ever since the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist
Party, Chinese people have more clearly recognized the nature of the CCP and
the evil nature of the persecution. More than 5 million have withdrawn from the
CCP and its related organizations on the Internet. Heaven's destruction of the
CCP is a historical inevitability. Gods must punish those criminals who have
sinned against Falun Dafa. Those who refuse to do the right thing and instead
continue to follow Jiang's scoundrel regime's persecution policies will be
severely punished as perpetrators of unforgivable crimes."
