【人民報消息】2009年4月30日,來自紐約、華盛頓等幾個城市的法輪功學員在美國國會衆議院CANNON辦公樓召開新聞發佈會,講述了他們及家人因修煉法輪功在中國大陸所遭受的監禁、酷刑,有的甚至被迫害致死。多位國會議員表示,將盡一切努力幫助法輪功學員,制止中共迫害。 美國國會「臺灣事務議員團」新任共和黨共同主席、佛羅里達州共和黨衆議員林肯-迪亞斯-巴拉特(Lincoln Diaz-Balart) 出席了新聞發佈會併發言。他在發言中表示,神韻演出讓他受到很大啓發,他並由此得出結論:法輪功的反迫害抗爭必將取得最後勝利。 以下是林肯-迪亞斯-巴拉特的發言全文: 我今天來到這裏,首先是要表示我與法輪功共同站在一起。我知道這場鎮壓是殘忍的和持續不斷的,但是我想要讓那些受到鎮壓與迫害的男士與女士們、他們的朋友、家人和同情支持者們知道,在美國國會有支持他們的朋友,在美國國會有他們的欽慕者。 你們知道,我最近看了一場演出,這場演出讓我受到很大啓發,演出是由一個叫神韻藝術團的團體表演的。我非常喜歡這場演出,因爲演出提醒我們,真理、公義和愛必勝;而殘暴、仇恨和壓迫必敗。這場演出在極大觸動我的同時,也在提醒我們,法輪功正在反迫害抗爭。他們是真正的中國人民,他們必將取得最後勝利。 因此,本着這種認識,我要到這裏來並加入這個重要的時刻。在我們紀念這個鎮壓與迫害10週年之際,我們要記住那些被殺害、被囚禁在地牢裏、被酷刑虐待的人,以及他們那些因此而蒙受巨大痛苦的家人們。 在此,請接受我對你們最全心全意的支持,以及我對主辦方組織這個重要紀念會的感謝。 謝謝! I come by and first of all is to express my solidarity with Falun Gong and I know that the repression is brutal and it is incessant, but I want those men and women who are being repressed, oppressed and their friends, families, and sympathies to know that they have friends in the U.S. Congress. And they have admirers in the U.S. Congress.
You know, I saw the performance recently, that inspired me very much. It was by a group called Divine Performing Arts. One reason why I enjoyed that performance so much was because it reminds us that at the end the Truth, Fairness and Love triumph, and Brutality, Hatred and Oppression at the end fail. So I was very moved by that performance but it also reminded us the struggle of Falun Gong. They are really the people of China; they are the one that automatically will prevail. So with that spirit, I want to come by and join this important moment, When we take note of 10 years of oppression and persecution and we remember those who have been killed, those who are in the dungeons, been tortured, as well as their families who are suffered so much. Please receive my fullest, most heart-felt solidarity at this moment and my thanks to you, the organizers, who put this together for this important commemoration. Thank you.
