July 6, 2007 |   By a practitioner in Yunlin

(Clearwisdom.net) Accompanied by three principals and council member Liu Chien-kuo, Falun Gong practitioners in Yunlin, Taiwan, visited county head Su Chih-fen regarding the incident of the government of Hong Kong denying entry to Falun Gong practitioners and the general public. From June 24 to July 1, the Hong Kong government denied entry to nearly a thousand people by refusing to issue visas, denying boarding, and deportation. The Yunlin practitioners asked the county head to support human rights and condemn the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s manipulation of Hong Kong to violate human rights. The county head, Su Chih-fen, expressed her support and signed to join the CIPFG human rights torch activity.

Practitioner Mr. Yan explained about the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China to the county official. During the eight-year persecution, practitioners have continued to peacefully expose the persecution. Hearing about the torture of Falun Gong practitioners, Su Chih-fen indicated that she believed that the CCP does use such brutal means. She was so touched that tears came to her eyes several times.

Ms. Su was very much in favor of promoting human rights. She believed that Falun Gong practitioners are kind and fully supported the photo exhibition from the human rights angle and the spread of Falun Gong in schools.

She further indicated that the journey of Falun Dafa has been difficult but that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Concerning reports of the CCP's live organ removal, she initially doubted it but later changed her mind when the "Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China" provided proof. "The CCP is so cruel and must be condemned. Such acts must be stopped."

Mr. Yan said that he was detained for one day in Hong Kong, indicating that the CCP manipulates Hong Kong. Hong Kong's deportation of Falun Gong practitioners is evidence of the failure of "One country, two systems." Not only can democracy not be realized, but also the rule of law is at stake. Universal human rights were shaken. Mr. Yan appealed to the county head on the matter and hoped to gather righteous voices to stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

According to the Taiwan Falun Dafa Association, Hong Kong denied entry to nearly one thousand Falun Gong practitioners and the general public from Taiwan, Australia, Philippines, and Macao. It was the most significant infringement of the human rights of Falun Gong practitioners since the CCP regained control of Hong Kong ten years ago.

Ten years ago, the sovereignty of Hong Kong was handed over to China, and the CCP promised that Hong Kong's political system would not change for 50 years. Only one fifth of that time has passed. The large scale deportation from the Hong Kong airport indicates that the CCP has broken its promise when the CCP most needs to give evidence of the "harmony" of its "one country, two systems" policy. The Hong Kong Immigration Department used used violent means to deport Falun Gong practitioners who went to Hong Kong to support the lawsuit against Jiang Zemin, the culprit of the persecution, and to participate in the July 1st activities. It suggests that the CCP is desperate and reveals a totalitarian nature that does not hesitate to lie.
