Central News Agency: Jiang Will Hear U.S. Falun Gong Practitioners' Voices of Protest in Texas
(Clearwisdom.net) In an October 14th report, Central News Agency's reporter
Guo Wuhuan stated that Jiang plans to visit U.S. President Bush's Texas ranch on the 25th
of October 2002. Jiang's overseas visit will become focal point of Falun Gong practitioners'
gathering and protest. Falun Gong practitioners in Washington D.C decided to hold a national
"Rescue Our Family Members" car parade and many practitioners will gather in Texas to let
Jiang hear their voices of protest. This action will call for all Falun Gong practitioners whose family members or friends are
suffering persecution in China to go to Texas as soon as possible, and they will meet with
practitioners from other parts of U.S as well as from Canada. It is anticipated that practitioners
taking part in this "rescue activity" will begin their journeys from five different cities
including Boston, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco and Toronto, Canada. The host agency said the Falun Gong practitioners would call out to Jiang, "Immediately stop
the persecution and suppression of Falun Gong practitioners." They also hope U.S. President Bush will request Jiang to release all illegally detained Falun
Gong practitioners in China during his meeting with Jiang. During Jiang's visit at President Bush's
ranch in Texas, Falun Gong practitioners will try to bring related information to Texas and let
Jiang hear it clearly. According to the host agency, many Falun Gong practitioners in Washington
D.C. had their wife, mother or other family members illegally detained in China. Some were sent to
forced labor camps or illegally sentenced to jail. Some were often harassed by police. There are 22
families in the U.S. with similar situations, whose nearly 40 family members are detained in China. |
