STATEMENT FROM SHEN YUN PERFORMING ARTS RE: SHEN YUN FORCED TO CANCEL HONG KONG SHOWS NEW YORK, January 24, 2010 - Shen Yun Performing Arts regrets to inform that seven sold out shows in Hong Kong have been cancelled due to Hong Kong authorities’ last-minute denial of entry visas to several of our key production staff. The shows were scheduled to play at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts’ Lyric Theatre January 27-31. But on January 21, the Hong Kong Immigration Department refused to give seven of our company’s core production team members entry visas. The reason given by Hong Kong immigration is that these production jobs could be filled locally. However, as had been clearly explained to Hong Kong authorities, these production members are an integral part of Shen Yun. Our production staff are highly trained in Shen Yun’s specific artistic requirements, which are exceptionally technical and detailed. They cannot be replaced and the show cannot go on without them. Although the visas were applied for on October 13, 2009, the denials came only three days before our departure. As Hong Kong authorities refused to change their decision after repeated requests, we have been forced to cancel the shows. Shen Yun Performing Arts is a New York-based company that held its first tour season in 2007. Our mission is to revive China’s artistic traditions and spiritual heritage that thrived before decades of suppression. Our shows have been warmly embraced by millions of audience members of diverse backgrounds. At the heart of our production is classical Chinese dance, along with vocalists, a live orchestra that combines Chinese and Western instruments, and colorful hand-made costumes. Our dances portray traditional legends like that of Mulan or Yue Fei, as well as events in present-day China, such as the story of Falun Gong. By artistically depicting these stories on stage, we aim to breathe new life into the spiritual essence and values of China’s divinely inspired culture. The Chinese communist regime has been seeking to interfere with our performances for years by trying to pressure officials and theaters to cancel our shows. We regret that the Hong Kong people are denied their right to see Shen Yun Performing Arts and understand that this incident constitutes a violation of Hong Kong people’s freedom. We hope the people of Hong Kong who treasure their freedom will urge the Hong Kong government to undo this mistake. We are grateful to the thousands of Hong Kong people who were looking forward to seeing our performance. We look forward to returning to Hong Kong for shows on an even larger scale soon. Trip to watch Shen Yun Performing Arts in Houston  
 
 
 
'It’s a show that everyone should see,’ Says Texas Congresswoman on Shen Yun Epoch Times Staff Created: Dec 22, 2009 Last Updated: Dec 22, 2009  Mrs. Lee also admired Shen Yun for being able to interest people of all ages. (Bei Gou/Sound of Hope Radio Network) HOUSTON—Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee took in the Shen Yun Performing Arts’ second show at Houston’s Jones Hall on Tuesday Dec. 22.
“It tells a story; the music is superb, the dancing is very acute and very refined, but very enjoyable,” she said.
“The dancers are athletes, but as well, they are artists, and it’s a combination that generates excitement in the audience.”
Mrs. Lee said she felt very “warm and peaceful in the heart” as she watched the show.
“Very calm and very relaxing, and as well, however, a very important message was given tonight, and I think it's a message that everyone should have the opportunity to see and to hear.”
She sensed this messaged through the music, the colorful costumes, and the vocal performances. It was a message of “peace”, and “the ability to be courageous in your beliefs”, she said.
“And the dancers were excellent,” she added.
Mrs. Lee also admired Shen Yun for being able to interest people of all ages.
“It's enormously positive. It's a performance for families, for children—I saw many children in the audience, and they were very, very excited, and I think this is a very, very special performance for children.”
And lucky for Houstonians, Shen Yun is performing during the holiday season in their city.
“The families can be together with such a positive powerful story,” she said.
“I'm so glad that Houston is one of the major cities that will have the opportunity to see this great and wonderful story being told musically for many years to come.”
This was the second year the congresswoman was attending the Shen Yun performance, and she’s planning to attend the show again.
“I'd love to see it again,” she said, adding “Shen Yun is an important history of China, but it's also a current story of Chinese people ... now the story's being told and so many Americans will have the chance to see this beautiful story.”
Referring to the dance performances depicting the persecution of Falun Gong in today’s China by the hand of the Chinese communist regime, Mrs. Lee said the show “was a good teaching opportunity for so many of us to learn about the story of Falun Gong and the ability for it to remain strong, even in spite of so many obstacles.”
“It was a beautiful show, and it showed the spirituality of China and the people, and their love and their willingness and their ability to overcome hatred,” she said.
“It was colorful, it was musical, it was inspirational. It's a show that everyone should see.”

Shen Yun Performancing Arts in Houston with a sold-out audience in Jones Hall Mayor on Shen Yun: ‘In two hours, you go through thousands of years’ Epoch Times Staff Created: Dec 21, 2009 Last Updated: Dec 22, 2009  Shen Yun Performing Arts captivated Texans in Houston. (Edward Dai/The Epoch Times) HOUSTON—Shen Yun Performing Arts captivated Texans with its portrayal of 5000 years of Chinese history and culture at its opening show in Houston at Jones Hall on Monday Dec. 21. “The performance was truly dazzling. The thing that captivated me was [that] it takes you literally thousands of years to the Chinese culture and people,” said Mayor Leonard Scarcella of the City of Stafford. “You get a feel and a flavor that you really don't have with Western culture because of the tremendous length of time and development of Chinese culture and all of the steps it had taken.” Shen Yun Performing Arts is a New York-based dance and music company that aims to revive the true, five-millennia-old artistic tradition of China. Commenting further on the show, Mr. Scarcella said: “You see it from literally … almost beginning of humankind to where you have [the] situation at the end that is the current administration and … suppression of people,” referring to the current period in China where the Chinese Communist Party is in power. “You have a feel here that is very unique to Westerners. And that's what captivated me most about it, in addition to the beauty and eloquence of the dancers and performers,” said the mayor of 40 years. Mr. Scarcella said what motivated him the most about the dances was the eloquence and the beauty perceptible in the performers themselves, as well as in their costumes. “It’s something that explodes. [For] someone who likes to think and enjoy more culture and performances, I get a flavor out of this that you rarely get out of other performances; very gratifying that I was able to see this,” he said, adding that the dancing is very “well-timed” and “delicate in nature.” He was also impressed by how “broad” the show is and “how many various steps and activities they do.” In addition to stunning dance performances, Shen Yun also features solo performances by world-renowned vocalist as well as a live orchestra consisting of Western and Eastern classical instruments. “So many times in dance you're looking at the performer mostly; he may be in a white outfit, but the color that's here is so terrific. That's why I say it's dazzling; the color consolidated with the dancing palate that brings out something you don't always see.” Mr. Scarcella also noted the delicacy and feminity portrayed by the female dancers. “I love the women when they were doing their dances in a very tasteful and yet eloquent way ... that is what entertained me the most.” Concluding his remarks on the show, Mr. Scarcella said, “In two hours, you go through thousands of years.” “The movement through time you can see, and yet the strong message of morality and striving to reach the apparent goal, that’s all there, believing upon your faith very fervently,” he said. “Not just meant to be entertainment, it's meant to deliver a message.” Shen Yun will be performing two more shows in Houston on Dec. 22 and 23.

Argentine Judge Issues Arrest Warrants for Chinese Officials http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/26693/ By Matthew Robertson
Epoch Times Staff Created: Dec 18, 2009 Last Updated: Dec 20, 2009
In a historic genocide case, an Argentine judge has issued arrest warrants for top Chinese officials for their role in the persecution of the spiritual practice Falun Gong.
Judge Octavio Araoz de Lamadrid’s decision on Dec. 17 is a precedent for Argentina, and is the first time that extraterritoriality has been used in the country to pursue crimes against humanity.
The case follows a similar decision in Spain last month, where five top communist leaders were indicted for their roles in the persecution of Falun Gong by the Spanish National Court.
Lamadrid has issued arrest warrants for former leader of the Chinese Communist Party Jiang Zemin, who in July 1999 began the campaign to “eradicate Falun Gong,” and Luo Gan, former head of the 610 Office, an extra-constitutional agency that carries out the persecution.
Over 3000 are confirmed tortured to death, according to Falun Gong sources, and the persecution against the group is commonly cited as among the most severe human rights abuses in China.
“This is the true reality of the creation of a Chinese Gestapo with the objective of exterminating thousands of innocent people [including women, the elderly, and children] under the control, direction, supervision, and coordination of Luo Gan, the accused … .” Judge Lamadrid wrote of the 610 Office in his decision.
As in the case of the Spanish National Court’s decision, if the officials travel to a country that has an extradition treaty with Argentina, both officials may be detained, transferred to Argentina, and brought before the court. Related Articles
From the evidence gathered in four years of investigation, Judge Araoz de Lamadrid expounded in his decision that “the strategy of genocide that has been designed encompassed all range of actions with a total contempt for life and human dignity. The end devised—the eradication of Falun Gong—justified all utilized means. In this way, torment, torture, disappearances, deaths, brainwashing, psychological torture, were the currency of the persecution of its practitioners.”
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline that emerged in the early nineties in China. After seven years of rapid growth and popularity it was banned and persecuted by the Communist Party, which does not allow independent social groups outside its control.
Spanish Judge Calls Five Top Chinese Officials to Account for Genocide
(Clearwisdom.net) Five high-ranking Chinese officials have been indicted in Spain for genocide and torture of Falun Gong practitioners. In a groundbreaking case, following a two-year investigation, a Spanish judge has accepted charges of genocide and torture in a case filed against five high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials for their role in the persecution of Falun Gong. This is the first time that a court has recognized the campaign against the group as legally fitting the definition of genocide. If the defendants were in Spain, the court could call them before the judge for a hearing.
“This historic decision by a Spanish judge means that Chinese Communist Party leaders responsible for brutal crimes are now one step closer to being brought to justice,” said Carlos Iglesias, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs.
Between 2003 and 2007 fifteen victims of persecution filed criminal complaints against each of the five CCP officials under a Spanish law that enables individuals or their lawyers to initiate private prosecutions (acciones populares). Four complaints were combined into one case, the facts of which a judge from Spain’s National Court (Audiencia Nacional) has been investigating since 2006; the fifth was added later.
On Nov. 11, Iglesias received a letter from the National Court saying the charges of genocide and torture had been accepted.
Among the accused is ex-leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin. Jiang is widely acknowledged as the initiator and primary driver behind the campaign launched in 1999 to “eradicate” Falun Gong. According to Chinese regime statistics at the time, an estimated 70 to 100 million people were practicing the discipline that combines slow-moving exercises and spiritual teachings.
In order to implement Jiang’s decision to wipe out the group, the country’s state-run media, security apparatus, and network of “re-education through labor camps” were mobilized in full force. Since then, experts estimate that hundred of thousands, possibly millions, of practitioners have been sent to labor camps, prisons, and thought reform classes.
Human rights groups and Western media reports have documented the systematic use of torture to force Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their faith. According to the Falun Dafa Information Center, over 3,000 practitioners are documented to have been killed, many due to torture, since 1999. “The perpetrators of the genocide and torture will be confronted with two trials,” Iglesias said. “One of justice in front of the courts, and another, judgment in front of history, for having committed the biggest of all atrocities: the persecution of millions of persons whose only intention is to improve their ethical, moral, and spiritual qualities, following universal values.”
Also facing charges of genocide and torture in the Spanish case is Luo Gan, former head of the , an extrajudicial agency set up to lead and coordinate the campaign against Falun Gong. Chinese human rights lawyers have compared the 610 Office to Nazi Germany’s Gestapo in its operations, brutality, and extraordinary authority.
The other three accused are Bo Xilai, current Party Secretary for Chongqing and former Minister of Commerce; Jia Qinglin, the fourth-highest member of the Party hierarchy; and Wu Guanzheng, head of an internal Party disciplinary committee. The charges against the three are based on their alleged proactive advancement of the anti-Falun Gong campaign during their time as top officials in Liaoning, Beijing, and Shandong respectively.
According to evidence presented before the court, Jia had reportedly given speeches urging lower officials to persecute Falun Gong and commended security units for their "success" in the "fight" against the spiritual practice. In 2002, he made the campaign one of Beijing's top five priorities.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning article from 2000 by the Wall Street Journal’s Ian Johnson documents how financial punishments and political pressure imposed by Wu on his subordinates led Weifang city authorities to torture—and sometimes kill—local residents who practiced Falun Gong. Judge Moreno has spent two years investigating the case, following a Constitutional Court (Tribunal Constitucional) ruling from June 2006 that ordered Spanish courts to accept the case based on a law enabling them to exercise universal jurisdiction. This legal principle allows domestic courts to hear cases of genocide and crimes against humanity regardless of where they occur and the nationality of the defendant.
Evidence considered by the judge during the investigation process included written testimonies from fifteen Falun Gong practitioners and oral testimonies from seven. The judge also relied on reports by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Human Rights Law Foundation, and the U.N. Commission of Human Rights to reach his decision, Iglesias said.

Past radio show is available through podcast please visit http://www.thesecrettruth.com/mainpage.htm Special thanks to host George Butler and Charlotte Littlefield Brown for inviting us to speak on their radio show please visit their website for more info. http://www.thesecrettruth.com/mainpage.htm Thank you for your blessing our Washington DC trip was very smooth. Your love and support have made Veggie Heaven a shining star. We have received support from Texas from Congressman Smith, Congress Doggett and Congressman McCaul. We are grateful that they all co-sponsored the H.R605. We attended the rally on Capital Hill with more than 1000 Falun Gong practitioners, nine US congressmen, and representatives from more than 10 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to call for the end of persecution. Sheila Jackson Lee, Congresswoman from Texas, stated that she does not want to see practitioners jailed and tortured; she does not want children to have to know about violence; she does not want the world to think that people cannot have peaceful beliefs. Therefore, she was happy that every year elected representatives show their support, and more and more people are quitting the Communist Party. Sheila Jackson Lee is happy that more and more CCP members long for peace and freedom and are trying to stop the persecution. For more info on DC rally please visit http://veggieheavenaustin.com/DCRally.aspx We have met with assistants of four Texas congressmen to ask them to co-sponsor the H.R. 605. This resolution is very important, not only will it calls for an immeditate end to the persecution of Falun Gong in China, this will also calls upon People's Republic of China to end all harassment and intimidation within the borders of U.S of Falun Gong practitioners. As many of you may remembered, Veggie Heaven was vandalized May of last year. We were supporting a Quit CCP movement (Chinese Communist Party), a global network that encourages Chinese to withdraw from CCP. The movement celebrated a milestone of 35 million withdrawals on May of last year. We have hang the banner outside the restaurant which state “Reading Nine Commentaries and quitting communist party will bring a new era of China” in Chinese. That banner was cut and damaged. The Nine commentaries on the Communist Party http://veggieheavenaustin.com/NineCommentaries.aspx is the most detailed account of the CCP's rule in China ever published. It describes — in sometimes shocking detail — how the CCP has used violence, murder, deception, and misplaced nationalism to control the hearts and minds of the Chinese people. 
Also two newspaper stands for Epoch Time that we placed near UT area were stole around that time. Epoch Times is an independent voice which provide uncensored coverage of events in China. Our restaurant was vandalized, our glass door was shattered in a early morning. We suspected that the Chinese consulate was behind all this simply because we are Falun Gong practitioners and also we are supporters of Quit CCP movement. As Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Congresswoman from Florida has noted in DC rally 2009 that the persecution has been extended to America. She urges the American government to deport those who have been involved in perpetrating the persecution in this country.

Congressman Ted Poe has co-sponsor the H.R 605. Congressman Ted Poe: I once again call out to the Chinese government to stop its religious persecution Congressman Ted Poe of Texas provided a statement expressing his continuing commitment to call for justice for persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. "It's been ten years since the Chinese government banned the practice of Falun-Gong and began its severe and brutal crackdown towards those who practice its principles of truthfulness, benevolence, and forbearance. "The practitioners of this ancient practice have been beaten, tortured, and illegally imprisoned for simply seeking to peacefully carryout their commitment to their religion. Hundreds of stories from victims of persecution have flowed out of China and poured into the ears of sympathizers from all over the world. "Americans are privileged to live in this great nation where democracy is the rule of law. Unfortunately, not everyone is as blessed. As such, I feel a certain responsibility to speak out for those whose freedom has been cut short and whose voice has been silenced by an oppressive regime. "Last year, I had the opportunity to cosponsor a resolution that called upon China to end the human right abuses of its citizens. Seeing as little has changed, I once again call out to the Chinese government to stop its religious persecution and allow its' citizens to freely practice their spiritual beliefs. Too many innocent men and women have died, and although their deaths have not been in vain, it's time for change and that time is now." We also attended the Candle Light Vigil with more than 2,000 Falun Gong practitioners sat in meditation in front of the Capitol with lit candles held in hand. The event was also to honor those who have lost their lives to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) brutal campaign of torture and imprisonment also to display a show of solidarity against the persecution of their beliefs in China, which will reach the 10-year mark on July 20. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/19722/ 
Thousands gather to commemorate ten years since the beginning of the persecution of Falun Gong in China. (Ji Yuan/The Epoch Times)
We hope that you will light a candle in your heart and pray that this brutal persecution in China will end soon. We also joined our fellow Falun Gong practitioners (over 3000) from more than 20 countries and marched down Pennsylvania Avenue on Friday July 17. July 20, 2009 will mark the 10th year of the persecution of Falun Gong in China. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/19821/

With your help, and the help of over 3,000 Falun Gong practitioners and supporters who came to Washington, DC from July 16 - 19, we raised over one million minutes of meditation. We were so busy organizing the amazing event on the National Mall on July 19 though, that we didn't update the website. Sorry about that. But we don't want to stop here. Keep meditating. Keep donating your minutes. Let's keep going until we bring freedom to all the people of China. This July marks exactly 10 years since the Chinese Communist Party began a campaign of imprisonment, propaganda, torture, and murder to eradicate Falun Gong, a practice of meditation and spiritual cultivation based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong was once celebrated by the Chinese government for its health benefits and moral teachings, but as the practice grew in popularity throughout the 1990's, the Communist Party began to see it as an ideological threat, eventually banning it outright. Practitioners of Falun Gong have maintained their peaceful beliefs in the face of this oppression, and their efforts to regain their freedom have always been non-violent and in line with the tenets of their faith. Hundreds of thousands have been imprisoned without trial. Millions have lost jobs, homes, and loved ones. Over 3,200 have been tortured to death for their beliefs. http://www.millionminutesofmeditation.org/
