(Clearwisdom.net) On May 11, 2006, two Falun Gong practitioners, Yang Ziwei and He Yanchen, arrived in New Zealand under the arrangement of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The process won help from the UN and New Zealand government, and efforts of Falun Gong practitioners. On the morning of this day, their flight landed in Auckland International Airport from Thailand. The practitioners were welcomed by practitioners in New Zealand, who had waited there for a while. The two practitioners were very pleased to arrive in a country where they can freely practice Falun Gong after their many sufferings to avoid the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s persecution.
