Austrian Newspaper Reports on Jiang's Persecution Being Exported to Europe (Photo)

(Clearwisdom.net) There has been a happy ending for a thirty-two year old politically persecuted Chinese living in southern Austria. Yong Wang was granted express Austrian citizenship, plus a passport, after the People's Republic of China revoked his freedom to travel.

The Austrian Government, outraged with the Chinese officials' action, expedited the request by the thirty two year old economist. Wang experienced, as an admitted Falun Gong adherent, political persecution. Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a meditation practice banned by the Chinese regime. Since 1999, according to information from the Vienna Falun Dafa information Centre, more than 100,000 practitioners of this practice have been persecuted and arrested in China.

Even in Austria, Wang suffered under the Chinese regime's dirty tricks. Thirty-two-year-old Wang lives with his Austrian wife and son in Vienna's Neustadt. During this summer, the Chinese Embassy refused his passport extension. Yong Wang told us, "I had no passport and was unable to travel. It was rather unpleasant."

In desperation, he applied for Austrian citizenship. This new Austrian will have a passport next week.
