By a practitioner in Hong Kong

(Clearwisdom.net) From December 2 to 4, 2006, Wu Bangguo, Chairman of China National People's Congress led a delegation and visited Hong Kong to participate in ITU Telecom World 2006.

Falun Gong practitioners held a series of activities during their visit to call for an end of the persecution, bring the criminals to justice and support the disintegration of the CCP.

On the afternoon of December 2, practitioners hold banners outside the AsiaWorld-Expo and called for an end of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and for investigation of the CCP's atrocity of live organ removal

On the afternoon of December 3, police force practitioners to relocate to the demonstration zone near the rear entrance of the China's Liaison Office. Practitioners hold a banner saying "Heaven destroys the CCP."

At noon on December 2, a group of practitioners went to Harbor Hotel to wait for the arrival of the delegation. Due to CCP's immense pressure, police put the demonstration zone far away from the hotel. A large number of guards stood there to block practitioners from holding their peaceful protest. Some practitioners managed to unfurl banners near the hotel to let the CCP delegation see when the motorcade entered the hotel.

In the evening, the CCP delegation attended an official dinner in AsiaWorld-Expo. Practitioners arrived there at 3 p.m. and held banners calling for an end of the persecution, investigation of live organ removal and withdrawal from CCP. They held a sit-in protest and group sending forth righteous thoughts until 9 p.m.

During the protest activities, practitioners read an announcement from Falun Dafa Association, a solemn statement from the Epoch Times, notice from Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, announcement from World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) about Wang Xudong, Bo Xilai and other key criminals. They exposed the CCP's persecution to the delegation and other attendees.

Wang Xudong and Bo Xilai are key criminals listed in the announcement of WOIPFG. Wang Xudong actively participated in persecution of Falun Gong when he was Secretary of CCP Committee of Hebei Province. As a result, Hebei was one of the most severe provinces in persecuting Falun Gong. After he was appointed as Minister of Information Industry, Wang actively promotes the CCP's persecution by monitoring communication, following targets and controlling the internet, which lead to the arrest of many practitioners. He also applies information blockage to the whole country and covered the fact of the persecution.

On the morning of December 3, practitioners continued their sit-in protest outside the Harbor Hotel. Some practitioners went to protest outside the China's Liaison Office since the delegation went there to meet CCP officials in the office. The practitioners informed the police about the activity. They unfurled banners and sent forth righteous thoughts outside the front entrance of the office. Under strong pressure from the CCP, some Hong Kong administrative officials ordered police to force practitioners to leave. Police snapped practitioners' banners and drove the practitioners to the location behind the rear entrance.

Then police followed practitioners one by one, even when practitioners had lunch or went to the bathroom. One elder lady said to a police officer seriously, "I am going to bathroom. Don't follow me!" The police officer returned.

After sharing, the practitioners felt they should continue clarifying the truth to the delegation and CCP followers. After noon, they returned to the front entrance and unfurled banners. Under repeat pressure from CCP and their upper level officers, police moved many female police officers and mobile armed police, at least 40. The armed police set up iron blockade and drove away reporters on the spot. They issued warnings to the practitioners to clear the site.

The practitioners explained the facts to the police officers on the spot and pointed out that the peaceful protest aimed at stopping CCP's brutal persecution. It is their basic human rights. The police petitioned their upper level officers but still asked the practitioners to leave for the reason of "security." The practitioner coordinator proposed to the police that practitioners could leave but hope to have a banner stay in front of one side of the front entrance. Police still refused.

At 1:50 p.m., police set up the surrounding area and applied force to the practitioners. Many police stepped forward, pulled or pushed the about 20 practitioners to the demonstration zone behind the rear entrance. The zone was closed for a while and the practitioners were not allowed to come out, or even go to the bathroom. It was the first time that police applied violence to practitioners after the street blockage charge in March 2002.

Actually, during the several years after the blockage charge, practitioners clarified the truth and made many governmental officials and police know CCP's evil. When the practitioners were illegally detained in the demonstration zone, some police officers knowing the facts criticized those colleagues who followed orders and asked them to release the practitioners.

At around 3 p.m., some practitioners went to the resident of a practitioner who lived in a building beside the China's Liaison Office and hung a banner worded "Quit CCP, disintegrate CCP, and stop CCP's persecution." After 4 p.m., the CCP delegation motorcade came to the Office. Police saw the banner and anxiously dispatched someone to knock on the door. The practitioners were firm and did not open the door. They also hung a banner worded "Falun Dafa is good" outside the window. They also shouted "Falun Dafa is good," "Quitting the CCP for safety," etc. The banners were hung outside the window until the CCP delegation left at around 5 p.m. A group of the CCP's army stood outside the Office and raised their head to look at the banners.

At evening, some practitioners went to the AsiaWorld-Expo and held sit-in protest outside when the CCP delegation attended the opening ceremony. The practitioners said they would send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all evil factors and clarify the truth to the public and related administrative departments regarding the police's forceful relocation of them.
