Vlothoer-Anzeiger Gazette (Germany) Reports on the Persecution of Falun Gong
By Meiko Haselhorst
Zhongbo Wang performs the exercise of this cultivation
practice. Should he return to China he will be under threat of torture or
murder It appears to be harmonious and peaceful when Zhongbo Wang and his friends
are practicing Falun Gong exercises in the park. Yet, the Chinese regime is
mortally afraid of this. Since 1999, it persecutes and murders practitioners of
this meditation movement. He is a cook in a restaurant. His short-term German work permit is going to
expire soon. Therefore, he applied for asylum without success. "I arrived
in Germany about six years ago to earn money for my family," explained the
thirty six year old. "I found a job as a cook with the help of an agency,
everything was legal." This Chinese man worked relentlessly. After two years his shoulder and neck
suffered from stress and the pain was unbearable, said Wang. The doctor couldn't
help me. There was nothing that made me feel better," said Wang. At that
time he thought of his father. He also had practiced the exercises of Falun Gong
to escape from the pain many years ago. He explained that at that time Falun
Gong was not banned yet. Wang joined a Falun Gong group. After practicing for a while the pain
lessened more and more. After some time, Wang also began to take an interest in
the moral and ethical side the practice espouses. Practitioners live by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and
Tolerance. At the same time he met his friend Zhen, who already practiced Falun
Gong and was imprisoned in a slave labour camp for not renouncing this practice.
He suffered torture and has to live now with a chronic hip injury and can't walk
without crutches. Zhongbo Wang was shocked. He began to take part in information activities and
severely criticised the uncountable human rights violations perpetrated in his
homeland. Then, he committed a tactical error, "I wrote to my wife and
daughter about four times letters about practicing Falun Gong," said Wang.
It clearly shows that he is contrite about this and appears to regret his
actions even today. "My family never received these letters. The Chinese
post office opened the letters and kept them," said Wang. Also, it would be almost like a permanent separation from his family if Wang
remains in Germany. As of now, Zhongbo Wang does not know what the future holds
for him. His asylum request was denied. Wang is appealing and the administrative
tribunal of Minden will decide if Wang has to return to China. Also printed in German at:

The family man is certain that the regime is just waiting to get him into their
clutches. He was quite frightened and therefore applied with a heavy heart for
asylum in 2004.
