(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on February 12, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Edmonton and Epoch Times staff members gathered at the square in Chinatown to hold a press conference to protest and condemn the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents' armed attack and robbery of an Atlanta Falun Gong practitioner.

Mr. Ye, a representative of Falun Gong, giving a speech.

Falun Gong representative, Mr. Ye introduced the story of the incident. Atlanta Falun Gong practitioner Peter Yuan Li was attacked and robbed on February 8, 2006 in his home. Ye pointed out that Li's being attacked was one of a series of CCP agents' barbaric acts encroaching on the rights and privacy of Falun Gong practitioners in North America. This is the most brutal and most irrational act of violence against a practitioner in North America.

Ye said that the only consequence of the CCP agents' overseas activities was to more clearly enable Western countries to realize the CCP's evil nature. Recently, voices of justice from all over the world have formed a wave to condemn the Communist Party, and people are standing up against the persecution. The Atlanta incident reveals that the CCP is shameless, resorting to any kind of wicked act possible before its imminent collapse.

Local media including the Edmonton Sun and City TV covered the event.
