On March 28, 2002, about 50 Falun Gong practitioners gathered outside of the Chinese Embassy in Athens to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong in China.
When the embassy found out about our activity, they immediately called the police and said that Falun Gong practitioners were very dangerous people.
The embassy personnel didn't realize their mistake. They made fools of themselves. When the police saw us peacefully practicing and appealing, the Chinese Embassy became the joke of the day. The police shook their heads and laughed, how can these people be dangerous.
When the Greek contact person went over to the Ambassador to say hello and talk to him, the Ambassador turned his head away and refused to talk to the practitioner. The Ambassador completely lost his manner in front of the head of the police and others. In fact, the Chinese Embassy gave us a precious opportunity to clarify the truth to the police. We also showed them pictures of tortured practitioners to expose the evil. It's clear who is good and who is bad.
