We spent the last week following the Chinese Vice Premier Li Lanqing, head of
the notorious "610
Office," which was created to crack down on Falun Gong.
It has been an arduous undertaking to be present at the various appointments
and, above all, with the permission of the police headquarters. We were present
in Rome at the Chinese Embassy, by the "Palazzo del Quirinale" (house
of the President of the Italian Republic). Next we were at "Palazzo
Chigi" (seat of the Italian Government) and at "Villa Pamphily."
The most spectacular meeting was in Florence at "Palazzo Bastogi"
(seat of the Regional Council). We arrived in Florence by heart and not by
brain. The appointment seemed to be disregarded, no one seemed to be aware of it
at all. We monitored Florence and just when the police began to appear near by
"Palazzo Bastogi," we gathered in Via Cavour.
Although we had a regular permit signed by the police commissioner of
Florence, we were still sent away by policemen, who gently led us away because
of dispositions received from a higher authority. That higher authority seemed
to be the Chinese secret service.
Although they sent us away, it was impossible to extinguish the voice of
truth and prevent peaceful people from exposing the horrific crimes against
humanity that are occurring in China today.
