Cyprus: Falun Gong practitioners Hold a Press Conference in Nicosia

Wu Guanzheng is the leader of Shandong Province and is at the forefront of the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in China. On Monday 27th October while Wu was visiting Cyprus, Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference at the Classic Hotel in Nicosia.

Cypriot Human rights lawyer Laris Vrahimis filed a complaint against Wu Guanzheng for crimes of torture, genocide and crimes against humanity.

Being victims of genocide, Falun Gong practitioners attracted a lot of attention from the media. Reporters from four main TV channels, a few large newspapers, national radio and some news agencies were present at the conference. The press conference lasted for one hour, during which the reporters listened carefully and with interest.

Mrs Dai Zhizhen, whose husband was tortured and murdered in China for practising and supporting Falun Gong, made a speech at the conference, along with some other victims of the persecution.
