Besides attending the press conference, Member He of the Legislative
Committee read a press release to condemn strongly the Jiang faction's
terrorist act of hiring assassins to kill people overseas. He said, "The
endless persecution of human rights in China must be continuously condemned and
investigated." Later he signed the petition for "Stopping Jiang Regime's Global
Terrorism".
Chu Wan-Qi, attorney in Taiwan for the "Global Public Trial of Jiang Zemin,"
said that the shooting incident in South Africa was more than an attempted
murder, but pointed to the Jiang group's attempt to eradicate belief in
"Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance". She said, "We are not against the
Chinese government. But we hope kind-hearted people will oppose such an
international human rights persecution and prevent the Jiang group from
exporting the terrorism overseas."
Guo Lin-Yong, Director of the Lawyers Association, said that the practice
Falun Gong should be protected. He called on South Africa to find out the
assassins and plot behind their activities.
A Falun Gong practitioner with last name Hsie, who was an actor in the
torture exhibition, said, "I suffered a lot just bending over there for thirty
minutes. My whole body became numb. You can imagine how much the Falun Gong
practitioners being persecuted in China are suffering."
The host of the press conference, Prof. Chong Gu-Lan, pointed out that Jiang
regime's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has lasted about five years
and that more than a thousand practitioners were tortured to death. The largest
scale and most severe incidents of torture in this century are continuing in
China. Now Jiang's faction exports the persecution to free countries overseas,
which is a challenge to human beings' freedom and peace. Falun Gong
practitioners called on the world's people to condemn the Jiang faction's state
terrorism.
