By a UK practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) On January 27th, 2005, UK Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference in front of the Chinese Embassy in London to condemn the surprise attack by a man from the Chinese Embassy against a female Falun Gong practitioner. They also condemned the hatred, lies, and persecution of Falun Gong exported by the Chinese Communist Party in a democratic country.

British practitioners meditate in front of the Chinese Embassy

Yudong Gao

In the late evening on January 24th 2005, Yudong Gao, a British female Falun Gong practitioner who works as a financial specialist for an investment bank, went to the Chinese Embassy in London after dinner to protest against the Chinese Communist Party's cruel persecution of Falun Gong. At about 9 pm, Yudong Gao was alone. A Chinese man walked out the Chinese Embassy and suddenly threw a cup of liquor over her face from behind. He also kicked her with considerable force. She turned around and asked calmly, "Why did you do that?" The man yelled at her. She stood up right away, called the policeman on duty across the street and walked toward the policeman. The man ran after her and struck her in the head. Yudong Kao almost fell down. The policeman arrived at this point, subdued the man, and arrested him immediately. The entire process was captured by the 24-hour video camera of the Royal Institute of British Architecture. The London Metropolitan Police kept the tape as evidence.

Mrs. Gao said at a press conference, "I do not know the man, nor do we have any dispute. Why did he attack me, a woman who was sitting peacefully? It is the lies spread and incited by the Communist Party that stirred up this hatred toward Falun Gong practitioners by those who are not clear about Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. On one hand, the Communist Party cruelly persecute Falun Gong practitioners with hundreds of torture methods in the labour camps; on the other hand, the communist regime fabricates lies to slander Falun Gong, such as the immolation in Tiananmen Square, which the Chinese media then uses to instigate the hatred of those not clear about Falun Gong."

The chairman of the UK Falun Gong Association Peter Jauhal said, "We know that the Chinese Communist Embassy has been angry at Falun Gong practitioners about the three-year consecutive peaceful protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in London. We strongly protest against the Chinese Communists' export of the persecution of Falun Gong to the U.K."
