Germany: A Vigil at the Chinese Consulate in Hamburg to Draw Attention to the Attempted Assassination of Falun Gong Practitioners in South Africa

On June the 30th and July the 2nd 2004, practitioners from Hamburg and Bremen gathered in front of the General Consulate of the People's Republic of China to protest against the attempted assassination of a Falun Gong practitioner during the Chinese Vice-Chairman's state visit to South Africa. In addition, it was their intention to inform the Embassy staff about this grave and vicious event. We find it terrifying that the regime would hire killers to violently achieve their goals. We hope that exposing this case of attempted murder will quickly lead to the identification of the hit men and the people who hired them.
