(Clearwisdom.net) After hearing the shocking news of the attempted murder
of Falun Gong practitioners in South Africa on June, 28, 2004, which resulted in
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. David Liang having his bones in one foot shattered,
at noon on June 30, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners from Austin and Houston
peacefully gathered in front of the State Capitol to strongly condemn the Jiang
group's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China and overseas.
Zeng Qinghong and Bo Xilai visited South Africa from June 27-29. Because
these two persons have been following Jiang Zemin closely to persecute Falun
Gong practitioners who believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance,"
Australian Falun Gong practitioners arrived at Johannesburg International
Airport in South Africa at 6pm on the afternoon of June 28, hoping to stop the
persecution by legal means. However, they were attacked, apparently by gunmen
hired by Jiang's group overseas.
Practitioners in Texas held banners reading, "Jiang Regime Hires Thugs To
Shoot at Falun Gong Practitioners." The banners attracted the attention of
nearby officials, tourists and passers-by. They accepted Falun Gong
practitioners' flyers, and some people offered to write appeal letters for Falun
Gong practitioners regarding this issue.
During the protest, it started to rain heavily. Although completely soaked,
practitioners' righteous thoughts were not affected by the rain, but instead
became even stronger. Just like the shooting incident in South Africa, instead
of making Falun Gong practitioners retreat, it will, on the contrary, cause more
practitioners to step forward and more actively tell the world about the Jiang
group's terrorist persecution of Falun Gong practitioners worldwide.
