(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of June 30, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners in Australia held a peaceful appeal in front of the Chinese Embassy. They called on the international community to pay attention to the incident in which Australian Falun Gong practitioners were shot in South Africa and help end the Jiang faction's inhumane persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

During the visit of Chinese officials Zeng Qihong and Bo Xilai in South Africa, 9 Falun Gong practitioners from Australia went to South Africa to appeal and prepare a lawsuit against the Chinese officials for their responsibilities in the persecution. Around 8 p.m. of June 28, the 9 practitioners were on their way to the Presidential Guest House in two cars and one was hit by gunshots. A practitioner was wounded and the bones in one of his feet were shattered. The car was damaged seriously.

A spokesperson for the Australia Falun Dafa Association said that the Jiang faction's state terrorism not only existed in China but also is being exported overseas. From this case in which the Jiang faction hired gunmen to shoot practitioners, we can see that the Jiang faction uses inhumane means in the persecution of Falun Gong. We call on the international community to pay attention to the incident and help end the persecution.

One Falun Gong practitioner who just came to Australia said, "Because of Jiang Zemin's order, police open fire during unlawful rounding up of Falun Gong practitioners in China. I never imagined that this could occur overseas."
