The report stated, "Falun Gong members say their protests are having an impact and will continue." "Falun Gong devotee and New Zealand resident Steven Zhu says he was tortured by police in China because of his beliefs."

"Protesters say there is now more awareness of the human rights abuses and say the New Zealand government needs to stand up to China."

New Zealand Prime Minister Clark says she will raise human rights concerns with Wen but says the focus will be on other issues like a free trade agreement.

She says there are obvious areas of concern like the issue of Tibet, arbitrary detention and the allegations of persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual movement.

The Falun Gong, or Falun Dafa, is a spiritual movement that began in 1992.
