New Zealand: Falun Gong Practitioners Protest at the Chinese Embassy for Extending Persecution Outside China (Photo)
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Wellington, New Zealand
(Clearwisdom.net) On December 16, 2005, nearly a hundred Falun Gong
practitioners in Wellington went to the Chinese embassy in New Zealand to
protest the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong and also
protest the CCP for extending the persecution to New Zealand and interfering
with citizen's freedom of speech. In the past three years, Falun Gong practitioners in Wellington have
persisted in peacefully appealing outside the Chinese Embassy every morning to
expose the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong and call
for people to help stop the persecution. Falun Gong practitioners' peaceful and
compassionate acts and their unceasing efforts have won positive responses from
city government, the police and passersby. Passersby often encourage
practitioners by saying, "You have done quite well, I see you here every
day, I support you." When passersby see practitioners' persistent efforts
in peacefully appealing despite rain or shine, they encouraged practitioners,
"Never give up." Last month, the Chinese Embassy staff was shifted. The newly arrived
personnel frequently pressured the city hall, and made phone calls to harass the
city hall and the police. Due to the pressure from the Chinese Embassy, the city
hall and the police have delayed issuing a permit to Falun Gong practitioners to
protest outside the embassy. The police and the city hall officers said to practitioners, "You are
good people, you are very peaceful, but we are tired." Practitioners have
doubled their efforts to clarify the truth to the city hall and the police, and
gathered outside the Chinese Embassy on December 16 to protest the CCP extending
the persecution outside China and calling for people to see through the true
nature of the CCP's falsehoods, violence and deception, and help stop the
persecution. Several days ago, Falun Gong practitioners from Wellington received a letter
from a city councilor. The letter clearly expressed, "You have the right to
peacefully protest in front of the Chinese Embassy." The activity attracted attention from local media, the newspaper Dominion
Post that has the largest circulation in Wellington, Raido NZ, Radiolive
conducted interviews with Falun Gong practitioners.
