The Falun Gong, banned from China, target New York as a place where decision-makers live and people care about human rights abuses. They may seem odd or repelling to the average New Yorker, what with their solemnity, fake-blood face paint, and street theater re-creations of abuse. However, Columbians should look beyond their initial impressions and consider the horrible situation that confronts them.
