BBC Monitoring: Protest Lodged Over Hong Kong Move Against Falun Gong Artist
á
August 27, 2002
The organizer of an exhibit of works by an artist with a Falun Gong
background has lodged complaints over an alleged effort to ban the show's
catalogue.
The Australian artist, Zhang Cuiying, was barred from Hong Kong but the
exhibit was still held.
The organizer, the publication Epoch Times, said the artist - who was
jailed for eight months on the mainland for Falun Gong involvement - was
forced to return to Australia with half the works planned for the show.
The Leisure and Culture Services Department sought to stop distribution of
the catalogue but the organizer did not comply.
