Japan: Tokyo Press Conference Exposes Hong Kong’s Violence in Repatriating Japanese Practitioners

Starting from June 28, 2002, six Japanese practitioners with legal identities consecutively went to Hong Kong but were detained at the Hong Kong Immigration Entrance. The Hong Kong authorities used deceitful and violent means to forcibly carry them onto the aeroplane with stretchers and canvas bags. One practitioner said that when she was detained at the Hong Kong Airport Immigration, she asked for the reason but the police refused to explain. She wanted to use her legal right to see an attorney and opposed any violent actions. The authority pretended to agree with her but later used violence against her. During this process, the authority took away her IC audio recorder and deleted the recordings to destroy the evidence. Another practitioner said when she denounced the violent behaviour of the Hong Kong Immigration Department, the Hong Kong authority shamelessly asked her, “Do you have any evidence?” She showed the attendees the bruises on her wrists and legs left after she was attacked by over ten male and female polic officers two days previously.

All of the above evidence exposes the fact that the Hong Kong authorities are guilty in following Jiang Zemin’s orders to illegally repatriate Falun Gong practitioners.
