  • San Francisco, California: Practitioners Call on U.S. to Bar Entry to Huang Huahua

    Huang Huahua, the governor of Guangdong Province, is due to arrive in San Francisco on October 14 for a business visit. Considering Huang's significant involvement in the persecution of Falun Gong, U.S. practitioners have called upon the State Department and Homeland Security not to allow Huang to enter the U.S.

    Duan Li, a representative of the Western U.S. Falun Dafa Association, said that during Huang's tenure at Guangdong, he has actively participated in the persecution and made it one of the worst provinces in terms of persecuting Falun Gong. For example, San Francisco practitioner Zhang Xiaoyan's sister has been brutally persecuted for her belief in Falun Gong. In addition, Zhou Xuefei, who was fortunately rescued to the U.S. last year, was unlawfully sentenced to forced labor camp and subjected to torture.

    Ms. Duan said that 4-year-old Kaixin lost her mother when she was only one. Her mother Luo Zhixiang was a practitioner in Guangzhou City and was persecuted to death for her belief in Falun Gong. She was pregnant when she died. In order to dodge responsibility, the Chinese Communist regime falsely claimed that Luo had committed suicide.

    Ms. Duan pointed out that such cases are all too common. According to the International Religious Freedom Act, "any aliens who, while serving as a foreign government official, were responsible for or directly carried out, at any time during the preceding 24-month period, particular severe violations of religious freedom... are inadmissible" for entry into the United States. We thus call upon the U.S. government deny entry to Huang Huahua. The appeal letter was delivered to the State Department and Homeland Security on October 12. Practitioners will hold a press conference on October 14 to expose Huang's severe crimes against practitioners in China.
