(Clearwisdom.net) On February 22, 2003, we received details about the
personal experiences of several Falun Gong practitioners from Gaoxiong, Taiwan.
At the Hong Kong Airport, the practitioners were violently and forcefully
intercepted and sent back to Taiwan.
According to Zheng Suya, a practitioner from Taiwan who arrived in Hong Kong
around 6:40 p.m. on February 22, at least a dozen practitioners from Taiwan were
barred at the Hong Kong Airport for "security" and taken to a small room. The
Hong Kong police officers were unable to answer the practitioners' questions,
nor could they quote the relevant law enabling them to stop the practitioners
from entering Hong Kong. The police arbitrarily signed departure documents
for the practitioners and finally used violence to force the practitioners
to onto a plane.
The police carried some practitioners onto the airplane. They crudely pulled
and dragged female practitioners. During the rough handling, Ms. Zheng's jacket
was pulled in such a way that the zipper was pressing on her neck and making it
difficult for her to breath. Only after she screamed did the police temporarily
let go of her. Ms. Zheng suffered several bruises and abrasions on her arms.
Four other female practitioners on the same flight were also treated in a brutal
fashion. Another female practitioner Xu Zhirong was forced to board the plane by
bending back her fingers.
