This event appears to be part of a worldwide campaign by the Chinese authorities to intimidate and undermine the Falun Gong movement, the exportation of their own brand of persecution abroad, a persecution which has so far caused the deaths in custody of nearly 3,000 practitioners in China, while many more thousands languish in prisons and labour camps with little hope of release.

Article from Main Post Newspaper in Germany: Deportation Topic Discussed in Berlin
2006-02-10"The Würzburg Administrative Court rejected Jiang’s asylum request in March 2005. The German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees reversed its decision in November — only after he was persecuted and sentenced in China — and approved Jiang’s asylum request retroactively.
