(Clearwisdom.net) The Finnish newspaper Kaleva reported on September 17, 2005, that the Chinese Embassy had interfered with a photo exhibition arranged by Falun Gong practitioners in the city of Rovaniemi. According to the newspaper, the Chinese Embassy had contacted the library where the exhibition, "Peaceful Journey of Falun Gong," was held and tried to discourage the library from holding the exhibition.
The photo exhibition introduces Falun Gong and its history. It also exposes the crimes committed by the Chinese Communist regime against the practitioners of Falun Gong in China. The Chinese Communist regime has ordered the national police and security branches to brutally persecute and harass Falun Gong practitioners.
According to the information specialist at the library, a man from the Chinese Embassy called and said that the exhibition doesn't include correct information about Falun Gong. The embassy had asked for an opportunity to send their informational material about the issue.
The Chinese Communist regime has spread their propaganda all over the world through its embassies, in order to deceive people and seek justification for their campaign of persecution. In Canada, the spread of similar hate-inciting propaganda has already led to legal action on the part of Falun Gong against the perpetrators.
"The call from the Chinese Embassy does not affect what kind of exhibition we will have on the walls of our library. Our custom is that we'll let as many flowers bloom as possible," the staff from the library said.
The exhibition, "Peaceful Journey of Falun Gong," has been touring across the libraries of North Finland and the feedback has been excellent.
