The practitioner also revealed how the persecution of people in Hong Kong will affect societies in other parts of the world. If Article 23 is enforced, many basic rights will be denied in Hong Kong including the sharing of information and the freedom of speech and belief. This would vastly damage not only the lives and businesses of those who live in Hong Kong, but also of any foreigners who visit Hong Kong or have a business there. Even holidaymakers suffer the risk of life imprisonment if they say anything against the Chinese government whilst in Hong Kong everyones basic rights and freedoms are under threat.
Practitioners have a good relationship with the staff of this television station in Dresden and have often took time and effort to tell them about the brutal persecution being suffered by Dafa practitioners. Therefore, the station has always reported positively on Falun Gong and has not been deceived by the lies that are featured in the government-controlled media in China.
If you would like to speak out for the freedom of people in Hong Kong, there is an online petition against Article 23 at
