New York Times Reports on Falun Gong Practitioners' Peaceful Appeals in Manhattan (Excerpt)

November 22, 2004

New York Times correspondent Lydia Polgreen begins her story on Falun Gong's truth-clarification activities in New York in dramatic fashion, stating:

THISDAY ONLINE: Human Rights Abuse: Why It Doesn't Pay

11.22.2004

All over Auckland, New Zealand very well mobilized and determined Falun Gong protesters were prominent. It was impossible to walk any distance without running into one organized group of protesters or the other. On major streets, conference venue of the IBA, street corners, shopping areas, armed with leaflets, posters, graphic and often gory rights abuses photographs, investigative reports, website addresses and CD-ROMs which they distributed to passers-by, they were ubiquitous, just about everywhere - in your face, even - silently protesting alleged persecution of the movement and violation of their human rights by the Chinese government. They even had silent dramatic presentations going on for hours on end, in the cold spring New Zealand weather. They were impossible to ignore. FUNKE ABOYADE who was in Auckland was intrigued and spoke with one of the groups to find out what the protest was all about. One theme which played out strongly is that no matter where and no matter how long it takes, no matter how long they have left office, the long arm of the law will always catch up with leaders who violate the fundamental human rights of their people.

(Clearwisdom.net) A November 20th news bulletin on Minghui.org (the Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net), reported that Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Sun Qian was arrested late in October 2002 by police from the Luyuan Police Station in Changchun City. He was first detained in the Tiebei Detention Center and brutally tortured, then jailed in the Jilin Provincial Second Prison. Mr. Sun was tortured on the Stretching Bed (1), which caused a tendon to detach from his ankle. He is disabled now, unable to walk.
