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. -
