(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on February 10, Houston Falun Gong
practitioners and staff members of the Epoch Times rallied in front of
the Chinese Consulate to condemn the assault on Dr. Yuan Li, an Atlanta
practitioner and the Chief Techie of the Epoch Times, by Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) thugs.
At
noon on February 8, practitioner Yuan Li was in his Atlanta home alone when he
was brutally assaulted by CCP thugs. They wrapped Mr.
Li up in a blanket, attempting to suffocate him. They used duct tape to cover
his mouth, eyes, and ears, and an extension cord to tie up his arms and legs,
then beat him severely about the head and face. Half of an hour later, they
left with Mr. Li's two laptop computers and some documents. After his neighbor
called 911, Mr. Li was sent to the hospital and the wounds on his face required
15 stitches. The assault is now believed to be yet another case of CCP
intelligence operatives trying to suppress overseas practitioners using
gangster measures.
During
the rally, representatives of the practitioners and staff members of the Epoch
Times gave speeches. They strongly condemned the CCP's violence and called
on the public and government to apprehend the criminals behind the assault.
Meanwhile, they also called on the international community to jointly resist
the CCP's infiltration overseas and stop the terrorist activities of the
regime.
A
practitioner said: "This assault is a threat to practitioners' personal safety
and clearly shows that CCP is desperate as it approaches its doom. However, such
activities can only speed up its destruction. We will continue to widely expose
the CCP's crimes to the public.
Reporters for the Epoch Times, New Tang Dynasty TV and the World Daily reported
on the rally. In addition, the mainstream media has paid a lot of attention to
the assault of Dr. Li. On February 9, many media outlets, including the Radio
Free Asia, AP, World Daily, Channel 2, Fox 5, Gwinnett News TV and the Atlanta
Journal Constitution reported the assault. On February 8, the Office of Georgia
Senator Saxby Chambliss also contacted Dr. Li to express concern.
