UK: Chinese Consulate Fails to Thwart Dafa Activities in Edinburgh's One World Festival
2003-06-21Falun Gong practitioners were approached and invited to participate in the One World Festival by the event organisers. This occurred after Edinburgh's Chinese Consulate had written to the event organiser before the festival, complaining that Falun Gong had participated in the last festival, slandering the practice and asking that Falun Gong be omitted from the programme. The organiser had ignored the complaint and told us "we can invite who we like!" Practitioners are happy that the organisers could clearly distinguish right from wrong and did not allow Jiang to further spread his persecution into Scotland's society. -

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. -
Cultural Revolution-Style Attack Amidst the SARS Crisis -- Another Round of Slander Against Falun Gong from Xinhua Net
2003-06-19We all know how SARS spread in China and to foreign countries, leading to hundreds of deaths. This happened because Jiang's regime covered up the epidemic during the Sixteenth Congress last year and during the Two Conferences this year. The title of the Xinhua Net's article reads, "Impervious to the Sense of Justice." I think this is reminding all of us of the true nature of the Jiang group's cover-up of the epidemic and their usual callousness toward human life. -
