ABC(Au): Australian Falun Gong members released in Beijing
Mon, 11 Mar 2002 Two Australian Falun Gong members arrested in China overnight, have
been
released. Melbourne couple, Jarrod and Emma Hall, were arrested within seconds of
unfurling pro-Falun Gong banners in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Family and friends had feared for the Hall's safety. Local Falun Gong spokesman Chris Kominos, says they were physically
assaulted and had their money taken. "I received a phone call from Jarrod himself calling from Singapore,"
he
said. "He actually had to borrow money from someone to make the phone call
because
the police stole his money. "Basically all the money they had left was about 350 yuen, which he
told me
roughly was equal to $A40 and the police took all that money from
them." http://www.abc.net.au/news/justin/nat/newsnat-11mar2002-120.htm
