Central News Agency (Taiwan): Falun Gong Holds Press Conference, Exposes Xinhua News Agency's Role as Accomplices in the Persecution

(Clearwisdom.net) According to a report on October 20, 2004 from the Central News Agency, Taiwan Falun Dafa Association held a press conference on October 19 in the Herohouse in the City of Kaohsiung to expose the Xinhua News Agency's slandering of Falun Gong, and claim that Xinhua Deputy Director Xu Xi'an and others who are currently visiting Taiwan are accomplices in the persecution of Falun Gong. In addition to delivering a written protest to Xu Xi'an, Falun Gong practitioner Yin Xiangmao will also file a complaint against Xu Xi'an and others for their verbal assaults against Mr. Yin on October 17 at the Sun Moon Lake.

Falun Gong practitioners expressed that Xu Xi'an who is currently visiting Taiwan once compiled a book entitled, "School Campuses Refuse Evil Cult" during his post as a Standing Committee member of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of Education and Labor Commission and Director of Beijing Education Commission. The book was promoted in schools of all levels in China. Its aim was to attack Falun Gong. Reporter Li Jingchen of the delegation has been publishing articles opposing Falun Gong for a long period of time. He described Falun Gong practitioners as criminals who commit suicide and murder others. The contents of his articles completely deviate from the facts.

Falun Gong practitioners revealed that on October 17, when practitioner Mr. Yin Xiangmao kindly explained the facts about Falun Gong to Xu Xi'an and others at the Sun Moon Lake, the latter blatantly insulted him publicly. Mr. Yin Xiangmao decided to file a lawsuit against Xu Xi'an and others. Falun Gong practitioners called upon Xu Xi'an and his colleagues to immediately stop defaming Falun Gong, stop inciting hatred and offer compensation for the losses they have caused as soon as possible.
