Fearful of Falun Gong's Voice of Justice, Jiang Zemin Damages the "One Country, Two Systems" Policy

[Minghui Net] When I visited Hong Kong twice before--last year and earlier this year--I didn' have any problems entering the city with my Chinese passport. However, on my third visit, at 10:30 PM on May 6, 2001, when I arrived at Immigration Control at the Hong Kong airport, an immigration officer took my passport. He checked it against their electronic system. Never even raising his head to look at my face, he motioned to another officer to take me to a small room. Without providing any explanation, he told me to wait there. I was detained for four hours. During that time I was body-searched. All this time, several immigration officers were posted as guards outside the door. They even sent two people to follow me to the toilet.

My Experience of being Barred from Entering Hong Kong

I am an Australian Falun Dafa practitioner, currently staying in Japan as a tourist. On May 7, I arrived at the airport in Hong Kong. While processing my documents at the immigration counter, the officer apparently saw something come up on his computer monitor and announced that he was going to detain me. When I asked why I was going to be detained, I was told that they wanted to ask me some questions regarding immigration issues. After asking me some personal questions, I was told that they wanted to search my belongings. I protested several times and asked for an appropriate reason. After going to his manager for an answer, the immigration officer told me that it was "based on immigration reasons." I asked them, "Exactly what are these immigration reasons?" They replied that they suspected I was carrying drugs or weapons.
