Dear Friends of Falun Gong,
Recently, in Hong Kong in the month of March, peaceful Falun Gong demonstrators were forcibly knocked to the ground by the police, who then proceeded to use a kind of acupuncture, pressing their thumbs behind the ears of Mr. Quoc Lam and an elderly Chinese woman. This has or may have dangerous implications for the health of these people and in any case it was completely uncalled-for in the circumstances. The Chinese authorities should present excuses to the demonstrators on whom this illegal method of crowd control has been used.
The photos taken at the time clearly show Mr. Quoc Lam being subjected to this type of physical torture.
The non-governmental organizations need to be aware of the abnormal methods used by the Chinese police to control movements the Government regards as unacceptable. The Chinese authorities must refrain in the future from using this abnormal persecution against those who oppose them. Otherwise, China may well be considered to be flouting fundamental human rights.
