(Clearwisdom.net) Between August 26 and 30, 2004, practitioners in
South Korea held various truth clarification activities during Jia's
visit. Jia is a member of Central Political Committee of the Chinese
ruling Party and the chairman of the 9th National Committee of the Chinese
People's Political Consultative Conference.
The practitioners made preparations one week before. The truth
clarification activities were held wherever Jia visited.

In Seoul, from the first day of Jia's arrival, practitioners held
banners and explained the facts from the airport to hotel. Practitioners
obtained a permit beforehand and waited for him in front of the hotel
where he stayed. Jia's group was scared and did not enter through the
front gate but entered side door without notifying others during his
stay.
On August 28, Jia visited Samsung Incorporation. Practitioners held
banners beside the highway from Seoul to the plant calling for an end to
the persecution and bringing Jiang to justice. Practitioners also
explained the facts to police on site and helped them understand to
avoid interference.
In the afternoon of August 28, Jia left Seoul. Before his leaving,
practitioners read an open letter in both Chinese and Korean in front of
his hotel to call on China to stop the persecution of Falun Gong
immediately.

When Jia arrived at Seoul Airport, practitioners unfurled a banner
with the words "Falun Dafa is great" within a short distance
after obtaining permission from police who knew Falun Dafa. The banner
and peaceful appeal of the practitioners left an impression on the
delegate.
On the afternoon of August 28, Jia arrived at Gyeongju. Practitioners
held banners and sent forth righteous thoughts from the airport to the
hotel where Jia stayed. Practitioners obtained a permit to demonstrate
in front of the hotel. Jia entered through a side door again.
On August 29, Jia visited Bulguksa Temple, which is thousands of
years old. Practitioners obtained a permit and demonstrated the
exercises in front of the entrance of the temple. Some practitioners
held banners worded "Falun Dafa is great," "Bring Jiang
to Justice," and "Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong."

In addition, some practitioners entered the temple and sent forth
righteous thoughts. Several practitioners saw Jia, shouted "Falun
Dafa is great" and unfurled a banner worded "Falun Dafa is
great." A witness said that Jia looked bad. Some practitioners
tried to approach Jia to talk with him but were stopped by police.
When Jia left, staff accompanying him in the bus smiled towards
practitioners while giving them thumbs up.
August 30 was the last day for Jia's visit and he was scheduled
to visit Hyundai auto plant. Fearful of meeting practitioners, Jia's
group issued wrong information to media to mislead practitioners. In
the morning news from United News, it was said that Jia finished
visiting and returned home the day before. However, practitioners
did not change their plans and continued their truth clarification
activities. Actually, Jia left around 2 p.m. of August 30.
Jia is the chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese
People's Political Consultative Conference. He followed Jiang Zemin
to persecute Falun Gong. Practitioners in South Korea wished he
would stop committing crimes. Practitioners dealt with him
peacefully and delivered a message that Koreans can practice Falun
Gong freely.
Furthermore, there were some small conflicts with those police
who were deceived by slanderous Jiang's media. When practitioners
explained the facts to them peacefully, the police asked in concern,
"Is Falun Gong good?" "How does one practice
it?" "Where can we buy the books?" Even some police
learned the exercises on site.
