(Clearwisdom.net) According to an AP photo report on September 15, 2005, Philippine Falun Gong practitioners filed a lawsuit today against officials of the Chinese embassy in the Philippines and against four local Chinese newspapers for libel, claiming that the Chinese government launched a smear campaign against their group.
