Indonesia: Practitioners Hold Peaceful Appeal in Front of the Chinese Embassy in Jakarta (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On June 13, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioners went to the Chinese Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia to hold a peaceful appeal similar to the other two recent appeals at the same site. One of the previous appeals was held on April 25, 2005 during Chinese President Hu Jintao's high-profile visit. The other appeal was on May 6. Because the practitioners displayed banners with the words, "Respect Human Rights," and sat close to the embassy to hold a peaceful sit-in protest, twelve practitioners were detained by the Indonesian police on April 25, and six were detained on May 6. The police claimed that the practitioners violated the 11^th municipal law, a 1988 law about "Occupying the space in an area to grow trees." In actuality, the unreasonable police action resulted from pressure from the Chinese embassy.
