(Clearwisdom.net) On Thursday April 23, 2009, one of the top members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jie-Chi, had two meetings in Jerusalem: one with the President and the other with the Foreign Minister of Israel. Falun Gong practitioners protested at both.
A group of Israeli Falun Gong practitioners protested in front of the Israeli President's residence. Many were Chinese Falun Gong practitioners who work as foreign workers in Israel. Some of them have applied for UN asylum. They sang "Falun Dafa Hao (good)" in Chinese, and attracted much attention. That day, several policemen had the chance to hear the truth about the crimes in China and about the "guest". Passers-by signed a petition calling for an end to the persecution and one of them took a banner and hung it on her porch right in front of the president's residence.
Prior to the meeting, Israeli Falun Dafa Information Center sent letters to all Knesset members (MPs). The recently elected Dr. Michael Ben-Ari was touched. Dr. Ben-Ari, a historian and a religious person, wrote a letter to the President of Israel demanding that Israel take a clear stance. He specified that the President should demand clarification of the facts regarding these crimes, and should submit a sharp protest and opposition to the atrocities.
Yang Jie-Chi was the Ambassador for the US from 2001-2005. In that period he used his rank to demonize Falun Gong in the eyes of US high officials, tried to silence the voices of Falun Gong in China and in USA, and hinder the exposure of the CCP's crimes against humanity.
According to Resolution 304 of US House of Representatives from October 2004 for 5 years prior to the Resolution "Chinese consular officials have pressured local elected officials in the United States to refuse or withdraw support for the Falun Gong spiritual group;"
Resolution 304 also specifies various acts of violence and attempts to bend the laws of the US on US land, all done under the orchestrating hand of the Chinese Consulates in the US.
Three of these specified years refer to the time Yang was on duty.
