Practitioners Around the World Call on the Government of Argentina to Resist the CCP's Extension of Violence

On December 14th, Falun Gong practitioners held a peaceful protest in front of the Argentinean Parliament against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) delegation headed by Luo Gan. Hired thugs dispatched by the Chinese Embassy attacked the practitioners and snatched their banners and posters depicting the persecution and introducing Falun Gong. The Argentinean police present at the scene did not take any action to stop the violence. After the incident, practitioners across the world condemned the CCP's extension of violence to other countries and went to Argentinean embassies and consulates to call on the government of Argentina not to bow to the CCP's pressure. They called on the Argentinean authorities to maintain righteousness and safeguard human rights.

Malaysian Practitioners Call on Argentina not Bow to the CCP

On December 22nd, Malaysian practitioners handed in a petition letter to the Argentinean Embassy to protest the incident. A spokesperson for the practitioners said that incidents of violence against practitioners holding peaceful protests occurred in Argentina and Thailand. Local police treated the practitioners unfairly under pressure from the CCP. It indicates that the CCP continues to extend the persecution of Falun Gong to other countries.

Practitioners displayed banners reading, "Argentina: Do not collabourate with the CCP to persecute Falun Gong," and "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Zhou Yingkang, and Liu Jing to justice." They called on the Argentinean government not to bow to the CCP.

A practitioner said, "We are shocked and concerned at the violent incident that occurred in Argentina. People from all circles have gradually come to know about the CCP and the evil nature of the persecution. Even those who were passively involved in the persecution have come to know that Falun Gong is great, and know not to listen to the CCP's orders take part in the persecution. We practitioners hope that the Argentinean government does not bow to the CCP's pressure and will not collaborate with it to persecute Falun Gong."

The Argentine Ambassador dispatched a representative to accept the letter and said that the letter would be transferred to the government of Argentina.

Practitioners in Atlanta, Georgia Express Their Concern to the Argentinean Consulate

On December 20th, practitioners in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) gathered in front of the Argentine Consulate to express their strong concern about the incident in which thugs hired by the CCP beat practitioners in Argentina. Representatives of the practitioners handed in a petition letter, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party¹, and other literature exposing the persecution to Mr. Carlos Layus, the Consul, in their meeting with him in the conference room of the consulate, and expressed their concerns about the violent incident.

Mr. Layus was shocked about the CCP's persecution of such a peaceful group. He expressed his sympathy to a practitioner who suffered one and a half years of imprisonment in China and was pleased that she was able to come to the US.

Mr. Layus said that the police's duty is to maintain order and it is unbelievable that such an incident occurred in Argentina. He said he would transfer the petition letter to the Argentine Embassy in Washington and to the government of Argentina.
