Clearwisdom Editorial: Hiring Gunmen to Shoot Falun Gong Practitioners Exposes the Criminal Nature of the Jiang Group's Persecution

(Clearwisdom.net) On June 28, in order to avoid having legal action initiated against him by Falun Gong practitioners during a visit to South Africa, Chinese Deputy National Chairman Zeng Qinghong apparently hired local gangsters to stop Falun Gong practitioners from approaching him at any cost. The resulting shooting has raised great concern from the international community, and this incident clearly reveals the criminal nature of the Jiang group's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Press Conference in Northern California: Falun Gong Practitioners Condemn Jiang and Followers for Their Likely Role in the Shooting of Practitioners in South Africa

(Clearwisdom.net) Minghui correspondents report from San Francisco: Today we learned the shocking news that Falun Gong practitioners were shot while on the way to initiate legal action against Zeng Qinghong, in what was most likely a premeditated terrorist act directed by those desperate to avoid further lawsuits initiated against them. Falun Gong practitioners in Northern California, U.S.A. planned to hold a press conference on the afternoon of June 29 in front of the Chinese consulate in San Francisco to expose the Chinese ruling Party's extending the violent persecution against Falun Gong practitioners to overseas.

The Drive-by Shooting in South Africa Clearly Indicates the Fear Jiang and His Followers Have Over the Lawsuits Being Filed Against Them Overseas

(Clearwisdom.net) Zeng Qinghong and Bo Xilai are visiting South Africa from June 27 to 29. After learning the news, Falun Gong practitioners from Australia and South Africa planned to file a lawsuit against the two Chinese officials visiting South Africa, charging them with following Jiang's persecution policies against Falun Gong practitioners. However, on the evening of June 28, these practitioners were shot at by an unknown assailant who drove past them as they made their way from the airport to the Presidential Guest House. One practitioner was hit and seriously injured. This incident is not coincidental and is yet another manifestation of the state terrorism Jiang and his followers carry out against Falun Gong. This act also indicates how fearful and desperate Jiang and his accomplices are when facing the possibility of being sued overseas.
