Madam, - A report in your edition of November 22nd headed "Murder accused says he is Falun Gong member" may give readers a misleading impression.
Falun Gong is a peaceful meditation practice from China involving five sets of smooth and gentle exercises. Falun Gong teaches one to behave according to the principles of "truthfulness, compassion and tolerance" in everyday life and Falun Gong practitioners have been doing so throughout the past eight years of being persecuted by the Communist regime in China.
We have not done anything violent in return while being subjected to torture and killings.- Yours, etc,
MING ZHAO, Cherrywood, Dublin 18.
