(Clearwisdom.net) On New Year's Day 2006, Falun Gong
practitioners in Rome headed for the Thai Embassy to peacefully protest and
submit an open letter demanding justice and calling on the Thai government to
resist the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) exportation of persecution.
The protest concerned recent events in Thailand: On December
10, 2005, practitioners in Thailand protested peacefully across from the Chinese
Embassy calling attention to policeman He Xuejian's raping of two women
practitioners in China. Thai police were seen entering and coming out of the
Chinese Embassy several times. Dozens of police officers and plainclothes police
then came across the street, searched practitioners' handbags forcefully, wrote
down their ID numbers, brutally manhandled the practitioners and ripped their
banners, leading to physical pain and the loss of their personal belongings. On
December 15, Thai police, again under the instigation of the Chinese Embassy,
without cause arrested eight practitioners protesting across from the embassy.
As of this time, five practitioners are still being detained. After the
incident, practitioners worldwide protested in front of local Thai Embassies and
consulates to demand that the Thai authorities immediately release the
practitioners being unlawfully detained. Practitioners condemned the CCP's
exportation of persecution to Thailand and warned the related officials in the
Thai Government not to collaborate with the CCP, which hurts their own and their
nation's future.
