(Clearwisdom.net) On June 19, 2009, a CCP delegation arrived at Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The CCP mobilized about 200 local Chinese residents and CCP agents from surrounding areas to harass and even assault demonstrators. Some of the hired thugs wore identical black suits and used walkie-talkies to communicate with each other, complete with identification cards hanging from their necks. Two women Falun Gong practitioners, after having their "Falun Dafa is Good" banners snatched away, opened up two more banners and shouted "Falun Dafa is good." When they refused to back down after harassment by three CCP agents, they were violently shoved down a flight of stairs. One of the practitioners was bleeding profusely from a cut on her head and suffered a severe injury to her arm.
Less than two hours after this happened, more than ten local media outlets reported the event, sparking outrage and disbelief at the explanation of these people being unrelated to the Chinese delegation. Member of Parliament Vladimir Palko asked if all Chinese tourists in Europe wore black suits and talked to each other on walkie-talkies. Slovakian NGO's have condemned the incident and declared that they would investigate further.
When the persecution first started in 1999, the CCP was full of bluster inside China and did their best to hide it to other countries. At the time, they refrained from violence outside the borders. As time passed and their lies were exposed, the CCP's propaganda has become increasingly ineffective. Faced with this reality, it has resorted to the violence that is so core to its nature.
During this event, when these three thugs couldn't intimidate the two women practitioners, they resorted to a despicable sneak attack from behind and shoved them down the stairs. These three grown men certainly didn't lack the physical strength to overpower the practitioners, yet they still resorted to a cowardly attack that gave a glimpse into the nature of their masters.
The practitioners were doing nothing to harm anyone, only putting up a banner that said, "Falun Dafa is good." Why should the CCP be afraid of that? It is not simply a few words, but represents the strength and resolve of those practitioners who braved near-certain imprisonment and torture to go to Tiananmen Square to let the people know about Falun Gong and the persecution. When people know the truth and see the CCP's nature, they will inevitably leave and go against the CCP, and that is the CCP's greatest fear. Indeed, when the CCP again showed the world its true nature by attacking these practitioners, it gave the people of Slovakia a chance to clearly distinguish between right and wrong. Many people who would have never otherwise heard of Falun Gong or the persecution got the chance to learn all about it. Indeed, the CCP is only hastening its own demise through its own actions.
