Iceland does not want protests to interfere with the visit this week of Jiang Zemin, the Chinese president, according to Iceland's ambassador to Washington. [...]
The ambassador also said that his government worried that the nation's police force, which is unarmed and totals only a few hundred people, ''might easily be outnumbered'' by Falun Gong protesters.
A spokesman for the movement in Washington, Joe Yin, said that nearly 100 Falun Gong [practitioners] had been turned away by Icelandair, which provides the only flights between the United States and Iceland.
Falun Gong [...] was wildly popular in China until it was banned in 1999.
