  • Poland: Falun Gong Practitioners Invited to Protest in Front of the Parliament During Wu Bangguo's Visit to Warsaw

    During the visit of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo Standing Committee Member Wu Bangguo and his party in Warsaw on May 24, 2007, members of Polish Parliament especially invited Falun Gong practitioners to come to protest when the CCP delegation arrived. According to prior arrangements, when the CCP delegation walked through the corridor of the main entrance to the Sejm (Polish Parliament building), practitioners wearing clothes bearing words, "Falun Dafa," stood there smiling. The presence of practitioners sent an effective message to the CCP officials: Falun Gong has gained strong support in Poland.

    Outside the Sejm, other practitioners wearing yellow Falun Dafa T-shirts handed out truth-clarifying materials exposing the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. During the closed-door meeting, the CCP officials met with Ludwik Dorn, speaker of Poland's lower house of parliament. It was learned that Mr. Dorn raised the question about the CCP's continuous human rights violations during the talk.

    The CCP delegation left the Sejm and headed for the President's Residence, where practitioners once again protested. Practitioners held a large banner reading "Bring Jiang, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang to Justice" in both Chinese and Polish, and the other banner reading "Falun Dafa." One practitioner demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises as soft music wafted in the air. Many people passing by on busy streets began showing interest in the protest. They encouraged the practitioners to bring those communist criminals to justice.

    There was another group of people outside the President's Residence who waved CCP bloody flags. They came by vehicle from the CCP embassy. The Polish police was very professional and vigilant, and ensured that Falun Gong practitioners were not assaulted by the pro-communist people.

    When the CCP delegation came out, that group of pro-communist people rushed in front of Falun Gong practitioners in an attempt to block the practitioners and their banners. The police quickly stopped their act, clasping the CCP bloody banner and pushing those people who waved flags back to their original position. The practitioners continued holding up their banners solemnly.

    Houston: Falun Gong Practitioners Meet With Official at Russian Consulate Regarding Illegal Deportations

    On March 28, 2007, Ma Hui, a Falun Gong practitioner and United Nations refugee, and her daughter were abducted and deported back to China by the Russian government. On May 13, 2007, the same thing happened to Gao Chunman, another Falun Gong practitioner who is a United Nations refugee. The Russian government's actions are not in compliance with international laws which protect refugees.

    On May 21, 2007, eight representatives of Falun Gong practitioners in Houston went to the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Houston and submitted a protest letter and informational materials about the persecution of Falun Gong in China to the officials there. The Russian officials said that they would read the materials. On May 22, Falun Gong practitioners requested a face-to face meeting with officials at the Russian consulate. On May 23, the vice consul, Denis Lozinskiy, met with practitioners for 50 minutes.

    Practitioners gave the vice consul informational materials, including the Matas/Kilgour investigation report about organ harvesting in China. They talked about the cases of Ma Hui and Gao Chunman. Practitioners asked the vice consul if he knew about the persecution of Falun Gong in China and he said "yes."

    Practitioners explained what Falun Gong and its teachings are to the vice consul and told him how brutal the persecution is. One practitioner described his experience of being tortured in China. At the end of the conversation, practitioners expressed hope that the Russian government would stop assisting the evil CCP.

    The vice consul said that the materials and the letter from practitioners were already translated into Russian and sent to Moscow.
