Taipei Times: Falun Gong [Practitioners] to sue Hong Kong
Apr 10, 2003 (Clearwisdom.net) The Falun Gong organization in Taiwan is suing the Hong Kong government
for punitive damages over mistreatment of some of its [practitioners] when a group of 80 Taiwanese
Falun Gong followers were denied entry into Hong Kong earlier this year. Four [practitioners] from
Taiwan and the organization's spokesperson in Hong Kong have hired Hong Kong human rights lawyer
Paul Harris to file a complaint against the government of Hong Kong with a Hong Kong court. The
complaint is said to prove a woman was injured during the incident and that immigration officers
handled the situation inappropriately. The organization demands that the Hong Kong government
publicly declare that the administrative decision to refuse entry and the violence used in the
incident were violations of the law, and that it pay punitive damages to the four [practitioners]
for being illegally detained. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2003/04/10/201520
