UK: Manchester Falun Gong Practitioners Protest Against the Hiring of Gunmen Overseas to Shoot Practitioners in South Africa (Photo)
By a UK practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of July 2, 2004, Falun Gong
practitioners in Manchester gathered at the Chinese Consulate and held a
peaceful protest against Jiang's followers hiring gunmen to shoot practitioners
in South Africa. Practitioners also strongly condemned the Jiang faction's
national terrorist acts overseas. According to reports, Zeng Qinghong and Bo Xilai, who are directly involved
in the persecution of Falun Gong, were visiting South Africa from June the 27th
to June the 29th. On the night of the 28th, gunmen attacked Australian Falun
Gong practitioners who were on their way to appeal at the Presidential Guest
House. The car was hit at least five times. Of all the practitioners, the only
one wearing clothing with the Falun Dafa insignia, David Liang, was shot,
causing injuries to his foot. Police have opened a case and assigned an
inspector to investigate. During the activity in UK, Falun Gong practitioners held banners with the
words ‘Strongly Condemning the Jiang Regime's State Terrorist Acts Overseas'.
Photos of the practitioner's injuries were also on display. Many people passing
by and those who went to the Chinese Consulate for visas stopped at our protest
and looked at the photos, and asked practitioners several questions regarding
the incident. After learning what had happened in South Africa, they were
shocked, and some of them requested to sign the petition. Manchester Evening News, a local newspaper which has 160,000 readers
every day, also interviewed a practitioner on the phone and sent a reporter to
take photographs of our activity.
