Falun Dafa Association in South Korea Sternly Warns the Chinese Embassy in South Korea to Stop Defaming Falun Gong
(Clearwisdom.net) The Chinese Embassy in South Korea continues to publish various articles
defaming Falun Gong on its website. Accordingly, the Falun Dafa Association in
South Korea has issued the following statement: 1) The practice of Falun Gong is based on the principle of
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. It can elevate one's morality and improve one's
health, benefiting both society and the general public. In South Korea,
practicing Falun Gong is protected by the law. However, over the past several
years, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea has published various articles on its
website to defame and attack Falun Gong. The embassy's action has harmed the
reputation of and violated the human rights of Falun Gong practitioners. Such
behavior has in fact violated the law of South Korea. 2) In order to restore the reputation of Falun Gong, safeguard practitioners'
legal right to cultivate, and to let people have a clear understanding of Falun
Gong, Falun Dafa Association in South Korea brought a lawsuit against the
embassy on March 30, 2004. Recently we found that the embassy has removed 17
articles from the "News" column of its website that attack Falun Gong, but one
article still remains in that column. In response to this, the Falun Dafa
Association issued a statement on June 19 urging the embassy to immediately stop
all kinds of attacks on Falun Gong and to remove all articles from its website
attacking Falun Gong. On June 20, the embassy deleted the last article that defames Falun Gong in
the "News" column. However, there are still 14 articles (6 in Korean and 8 in
English) remaining in its "Chat" Column. We urge the embassy to remove all
articles slandering Falun Gong. 3) If the embassy does not remove the slanderous articles unconditionally and
immediately, then we reserve the right to take any necessary action (including a
lawsuit) until the embassy removes such slanderous articles. Falun Dafa Association in South Korea. Posting date: 7/1/2004
