On the eve of United Nations World Environment Day, an international webinar focused on Tai Ji Men Case and how a “good environment” also requires non-corrupt institutions.

It is time for the movement’s contribution to world peace to be recognized and, at the same time, for justice to be restored.

The Tai Ji Men Bell of World Peace and Love has been rang by dignitaries of all religions, but it also has a meaning rooted in a millenarian Chinese tradition.

Scholars from different countries and Tai Ji Men dizi celebrated the United Nations International Day of Living Together in Peace through a webinar.

Scholars and dizi presented at an academic conference about freedom of religion or belief four papers on the repression of Tai Ji Men.

At the Press Club Brussels Europe scholars and activists denounced tax harassment and media slander against the Taiwan-based movement.

Prosecutors often raid discriminated religious and spiritual groups and secure the complicity of the media to create a sort of baroque theater.
