On June 21st, 2006, Dr. Wenyi Wang made an appearance at the United States Court of Appeals. The judge approved the following agreement between Dr. Wang and prosecutors: the charges against Dr. Wang will be postponed until April 2007. As long as she commits no crimes between then and now, the charges will be dropped.

Dr. Wang interviewed by media.

The hearing on June 21st only took 15 minutes. Later, Dr. Wang made a short announcement outside the courthouse. She was interviewed by The Washington Post, CNN, Agence France-Presse, New Tang Dynasty TV, Voice of America, and Radio Free Asia.

Appreciates the awareness

Dr. Wang said: "What happened in the court today is not important. What is really important are the Falun Gong practitioners whose organs have been harvested by the CCP for profit."

Dr. Wang thanked the people who have helped her, and the media, which let people know about this incident. She called upon the international media to help increase awareness of the brutal persecution of Falun Gong and the CCP’s harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

Dr. Wang expressed a hope that the American people would take concrete action to protect human rights and help Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted. She hopes that the American people will realise the urgency of stopping the persecution. She said: "Only if international society and the media take action and pay attention to it, can we stop this persecution together."

Fundamental Difference

Dr. Wang said, "The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees people's freedom of speech, freedom of belief and freedom of expression. This is the fundamental difference between this country and other countries, especially totalitarian countries like China."
