April 6, 2002

This coming Friday, April 12, national and international movers and shakers will take turns "opening and closing doors." In the forenoon, China's President Jiang Zemin, accompanied by Minister Mr. Sigmar Gabriel, member of the SPD (Social Party Germany) will tour the assembly line in the Volkswagen Automobile Works, followed by a tour of this automobile city and finally end up at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

Security arrangements, especially during Jinang Zemin's visit, "supercede anything seen before." One reason: The planned protest of followers of the Falun Gong group who have announced their protest activities for Friday. They want to follow the motto of the IGFM (International Association for Human Rights), which said, "Berlin wears yellow." Yellow is the calling card of those Chinese whom Jiang Zemin has sentenced to death. As early as Saturday, an event takes place in the Wolfsburg Pedestrian Zone. Ms. Zhang Cui Ying [well-known painter/artist] will relate experiences during her time in a [Chinese] Forced Labor Camp.
