(Clearwisdom.net) On June 8, about 20 practitioners rallied in front of the Chinese Embassy to Malaysia to protest the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for extending its persecution policy to Malaysia. A number of media outlets including Reuters, European Pressphoto Agency and New Tang Dynasty TV interviewed practitioners at the rally site.

Nine board members of the Falun Dafa Association Malaysia was charged by the local government for minor technical errors in organization operation on May 31, 2005, and practitioners believe that this trial is the result of the CCP's pressure to the Malaysian government. The association was accused of 6 charges, including failing to submit an annual organization report and not maintaining a complete member list.
The practitioners' lawyer said that these charges are far from reasonable and no one has ever been charged for these minor technical errors. Since the association has acknowledged these technical mistakes and paid a fine of 2050 Ringgit (~$540), the authorities shouldn't fine these 9 board members again.
The spokesperson of the Falun Dafa Association Malaysia said that the CCP had purposefully done these things to silence local practitioners, who have been trying hard to expose the truth of the ongoing persecution against practitioners in China.
As a matter of fact, the Chinese embassy has never stopped its activities to harass practitioners. In the past several years, the practitioners' three applications to establish a social organization were declined without any reasonable explanation because of pressure from the embassy. Practitioners have filed a memorandum to the Malaysian Human Rights Committee, who consequently showed concern on this issue.
Several Malaysian newspapers carried a number of reports on the interference of the Chinese Embassy that directly resulted in the related authorities declining practitioners' registration requests.

Before this lawsuit, the Malaysian Company Registration Bureau had threatened to close the Falun Dafa Association with all kinds of excuses, one of them being "state security."
Practitioners strongly protested the CCP's persecution, which has severely violated Malaysian practitioners' freedom of expression and belief. Practitioners also call on the Company Registration Bureau to rescind the charges against board members of the Falun Dafa Association.
