  • Hong Kong: Practitioner Attacked in Busy Street, CCP Alleged to be the Behind-the-Scenes

    Practitioner and chief technical officer of the Epoch Times Dr. Peter Yuan Li was recently assaulted and wounded in his Atlanta home by secret agents of Chinese Communist regime. Now, just a few days later, Hong Kong practitioner Kuang Senqia was assaulted in the afternoon of February 12 in a busy street in Wangjao. He was publicly appealing for help to rescue his wife who is being unlawfully held in mainland China because she practices Falun Gong.

    In addition to beating up the practitioner, the perpetrator damaged the truth clarification materials.

    Mr. Kuang set up a truth clarification site along Wangjiao street twice a week. He calls for help rescuing his wife and exposes the brutal facts of the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong.

    In a statement, Mr. Kuang said that around 4 pm, on February 12, after a short peaceful meditation, he found all his materials scattered around. He started to put them back into order. Right at that moment, a man about 50 years old with short hair suddenly showed up. He kicked the materials all over the ground and verbally abused him. Mr. Kuang attempted to call the police but was stopped twice physically by the man. When the man was ready to leave, Mr. Kuang tried to take a picture of him with his cell phone, so the man started to attack him.

    Mr. Kuang indicated that the man attacked him three times, hitting him hard in the center of the chest each time. Fortunately, Mr. Kuang knew some martial arts. He blocked and deflected the blows, but was left with a bleeding hand and bruised arms. Then the man ran away from the scene. Mr. Kuang reported the incident to the police and went to the hospital to check the wounds.

    Mr. Kuang believed that it is not an accident. In a free society like Hong Kong where people have had a considerable understanding of Falun Gong, he felt that normally nobody would attack a practitioner and mess up the site in broad daylight, and in front of everyone, with no reason. He said, "Considering the assault of Dr Peter Yuan Li by special agents of Chinese Communist regime in Atlanta, USA, and the telephone threats made to practitioner attorney Chu Wan-chi, I believe that the CCP is behind the attack on me."

    Toronto: Practitioners Protest CCP Attack in Atlanta


    Falun Gong practitioners show their determination of "Anti-Tyranny, Anti-Persecution" in front of the Chinese Consulate in Toronto

     Nearly 200 practitioners, Epoch Times staff, and supporters from all walks of society gathered for a press conference in front of the Chinese Consulate in Toronto at 3:00 p.m. on February 11, 2006. The conference brought to light details of the CCP attack of a practitioner in Atlanta. They protested the CCP's terrorist and violent acts and demanded that those responsible be brought to justice.

    Dr. Peter Yuan Li was assaulted and robbed by CCP secret agents at his home in Atlanta, Georgia at noon February 8. The thugs overturned his file cabinets and stole two laptop computers and important documents, but no valuables. They left half an hour later. The thugs beat Li severely about the head and face. The wounds on his face required 15 stitches.

    Spokesperson Joel Chipkar said that the assault of Yuan Li is an example of CCP secret agents' barbaric acts encroaching on the rights and privacy of Falun Gong practitioners in North America.

    Chipkar pointed out that on January 18, Canada's Ontario Human Rights Tribunal ruled that the Senior Chinese Cultural Association of Ottawa was guilty of discrimination for terminating the membership of 70-year-old Huang Daiming because she practices Falun Gong. The membership cancellation was a direct result of interference by a Chinese Embassy official.

    Falun Dafa Association of Canada representative John Zhang expressed that the Atlanta assault was premeditated. The CCP was trying to intimidate Falun Gong practitioners and undermine their work. Such crazy retaliation will not frighten Falun Gong practitioners.

    "This ugly act of absolute loss of rationality reveals the CCP's shamelessness, resorting to anything it can before its imminent collapse." John Zhang called on those who are still working for the CCP to immediately wake up. Practitioners call for the staff of Chinese embassies and consulates in different countries to break away from the evil party, to save themselves from the same fate that awaits the party.

    Epoch Times Editor Fang Han called upon the Canadian government to take the attack of Yuan Li as a warning, and to pay close attention to CCP secret agent activities in Canada. He reminded CCP officials to abide by Canadian laws and not to interfere with media in Canada.
