Freedom of expression is a fundamental right for both individuals and the media. But it is not unlimited and does not protect defamation and slander.
Tai Ji Men’s Shimu not only shared the suffering of her husband and the dizi. She inspired their resistance and resilience.
Solidarity is about unity in peace and love. Even when suffering injustice, as it happened to Tai Ji Men, we can still find it inside ourselves.
Violence against women devotees of new spiritual movements is sometimes perpetrated by the governments themselves. Tai Ji Men female disciples react without losing their joy of living.
The perseverance of Tai Ji Men in fighting for justice gives hope to all those who suffer throughout the world because their freedom of religion or belief is denied.
