Charles Li Has Been Forbidden to Practice the Falun Gong Exercises in Nanjing Prison, American Consular Protests in Written Form
(Clearwisdom.net July 1, 2003) A Journalist from the Epoch Times phone interviewed Mr. Stuart Patt, a
spokesperson for the Consular Affairs Bureau of the U.S. State Department. He
said, "On June 25, U.S. Consulate Officials met with Mr. Charles Li."
This is the first direct meeting between U.S. Consulate Officials and Charles Li
since the severe outbreak of SARS on April 23, 2003. Mr. Stuart said, "U.S. Consulate Officials requested that prison
officials allow Charles Li to practice the exercises, but this was
rejected." Mr. Stuart said, "U.S. Consulate Officials have written a protest to the
prison, and are considering protesting to the higher levels [of the Chinese
government] right now." [Note: Although the basic meaning is the same, Mr. Stuart's statements may
not be the exact same as the ones he actually made since they have been
translated back to English from Chinese.] |
