Kaleva (Finnish Newspaper): Chinese Embassy Interferes with Falun Gong Photo Exhibition
(Clearwisdom.net) The Finnish newspaper Kaleva reported on
September 17, 2005, that the Chinese Embassy had interfered with a photo
exhibition arranged by Falun Gong practitioners in the city of Rovaniemi.
According to the newspaper, the Chinese Embassy had contacted the library where
the exhibition, "Peaceful Journey of Falun Gong," was held and tried
to discourage the library from holding the exhibition. The photo exhibition introduces Falun Gong and its history. It also exposes
the crimes committed by the Chinese Communist regime against the practitioners
of Falun Gong in China. The Chinese Communist regime has ordered the national
police and security branches to brutally persecute and harass Falun Gong
practitioners. According to the information specialist at the library, a man from the
Chinese Embassy called and said that the exhibition doesn't include correct
information about Falun Gong. The embassy had asked for an opportunity to send
their informational material about the issue. The Chinese Communist regime has spread their propaganda all over the world
through its embassies, in order to deceive people and seek justification for
their campaign of persecution. In Canada, the spread of similar hate-inciting
propaganda has already led to legal action on the part of Falun Gong against the
perpetrators. "The call from the Chinese Embassy does not affect what kind of
exhibition we will have on the walls of our library. Our custom is that we'll
let as many flowers bloom as possible," the staff from the library said. The exhibition, "Peaceful Journey of Falun Gong," has been touring
across the libraries of North Finland and the feedback has been excellent. Originally published in Finnish at: http://fi.clearharmony.net/articles/200510/3316.html
