Thailand Refuses to Arrest Mr. Li Hongzhi
(Taiwan's Central News Agency, Bangkok, August 3)

Thailand's Foreign Minister has publicly expressed that although Chinese Ambassador Fu Xuezhang requested that Thailand arrest the founder of Falun Gong, Mr. Li Hongzhi, Thailand will not take any action to arrest him as long as this qigong expert does not violate Thai laws.

The Foreign Minister indicated that Falun Gong is only a folk group that has been registered in Thailand, and he hasn't heard that Mr. Li Hongzhi plans to visit Thailand. Thailand is not preparing for any action.
