• Danish Newspaper Reports on Jiang Regime’s Persecution of a Chinese Businessman (pictures)

  2003-09-06
  Zhu´s private properties in China were at that time valued at about ten million Danish Crowns (about £1 million/1.35 million Euros). In 2002, all his business activities in China were seized and closed down by the National Security Bureau. Without any judicial documentation the authorities entered his premises and confiscated his business licences and all documents relating to his accounts. All his employees were dismissed and questioned about whether they practise Falun Gong...Closing down his three companies was a cause of great economical pressure for Xuezhi Zhu. And at the same time all his personal belongings, including his house, his car and his savings were confiscated.

• Hong Kong: "Obstruction Case" Appeal Scheduled for September 3, May Involve the Basic Law

  2003-09-01
  The trial for the appeal was initially slated for the Supreme Court, but the judge thinks it may involve the Basic Law and has transferred it to the Appeals Court. It is estimated the trial will last three days. Spokesperson Xu Jun of the Hong Kong Falun Dafa Association said, "The ruling in West District Court on August 15, 2002 was unfair. The Basic Ordinance for vendors was misused to restrict the right to petition, which is no different than losing the freedom to petition. It apparently violated the Basic Law."

• Denmark: The Ministry of Justice Gave a Righteous Judgment - the Chinese Embassy’s Attempts to Sabotage Falun Gong Activities were in Vain Again (pictures)

  2003-07-14
  The Chinese embassy wrote a letter to high-ranking police officials to complain about our appeal. In the letter, the Chinese embassy took advantage of June 4th when many other groups, besides Falun Gong practitioners, made their protests. The Chinese officials tried to confuse the officials by intentionally implying that the protest methods used by other groups were part of Dafa practitioners’ peaceful appeal. In this way, the Chinese embassy launched slanderous attacks against us.

• Hungary: The Withholding of my Passport is Another Example of the Jiang Regime Persecuting Falun Gong Outside of China

  2003-06-27
  Did they not know that every person with a sense of justice can see right through their pathetic lies? They stated clearly that unless I signed a letter guaranteeing to give up Falun Gong, there was no way I could get my passport back. They wanted to make it difficult for me to stay in Hungary by withholding my passport; they wanted to force me to give up my pursuit of “Truth, Kindness, Tolerance” by means of disrupting my work and my kid’s education.

• Russia: An Invitation to a Press Conference held by Dafa Practitioners in St. Petersburg

  2003-06-19
  What has already caught the public’s attention is the pressure placed on foreign governments by the Chinese Consular Service abroad. Such behaviour is obviously interference in the domestic affairs of those countries involved, such as spreading rumours and compiling blacklists, etc. The purpose is to discredit Falun Gong...It is such a pity that this attitude is adopted toward a peaceful, non-violent Falun Gong cultivation group in a respected country like Russia.

• Hungary: Chinese Embassy in Budapest is Afraid of Dafa Practitioners' Appeal

  2003-06-14
  This is yet another example of the extension of the Jiang regime’s persecution to Europe. It is ridiculous that the PR China (via the Chinese Embassy) considers a couple of Falun Gong practitioners meditating a threat. It seems that the evil people are afraid of their wrongdoings being exposed to the international community and the general public.
