On January 13, two staff members of the Chinese Consulate in Sydney watered Falun Gong practitioners appealing outside the banisters of the Chinese Consulate building.

At 11am, two staff members of the Consulate started to water Falun Gong practitioners by pretending to wash a car. One of them was watering and the other one was giving orders. Neither did they wash nor did they scrub the car. They kept the water pillar high above the car and the water directly fell on the sidewalk, and the appealing Falun Gong practitioners as well as their banners outside the banisters. It lasted for more than one hour.

Falun Gong practitioners stayed at their places enduring the mistreatment silently. Many people passing around were also watered, although the two staff members tried not to water them. Later, a Western lady was watered. She asked why they did this. Also a police car came over right before she left. A practitioner stopped the police car. Then, the two staff members ran into building immediately.

A female police officer went into the Chinese Consulate building after learning the situation. Then another police car came over. They were local police officers familiar with practitioners. Then, the lady came back and reported the situation to the police officers. She even volunteered to leave her contact information to a practitioner and said that she would like to be the witness if needed.

Falun Gong practitioners' appealing for dialogue with Chinese government in front of the Chinese Consulate has lasted for more than 5 months. They have not got any answer yet. Neither has the Chinese consulate accepted any appealing letter. This is the way the diplomats of the Chinese communist regime treat the overseas Chinese citizen.
