Page 1 of 3 Those who practice Falun Gong, a cultivation practice based on Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, have encountered what they never thought would happen in the United States. Since mid May 2008, on a daily basis, mobs in the hundreds have physically and verbally assaulted Falun Gong practitioners on the streets of Flushing, New York. Six thugs have been arrested. In a recorded telephone conversation, Peng Keyu, the Chinese Consul General in NY, admitted his role in instigating the violence. Since 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party started the persecution of Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa), a cultivation practice based on Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, Falun Gong practitioners have held many rallies in cities throughout the United States, particularly in New York. These rallies call for an end to the Chinese Communist Party and an end to the persecution of Falun Gong. More than 37 million Chinese have responded to their call and have renounced the Communist Party and the Party’s associated organizations. Recently, however, these peaceful Falun Gong practitioners have encountered what they never thought would happen in the United States: since May 17, 2008, on a daily basis, mobs in the hundreds have physically and verbally assaulted Falun Gong practitioners in Flushing, New York. These mobs have attacked them because they have rallied and called for an end to the Communist Party, an end to the persecution of Falun Gong, and, more recently, an investigation into the Beijing government’s failure to issue pre-earthquake warnings prior to the Sichuan earthquake. On May 17, one of those assaulted was Judy Chen, 48, a Chinese-American mother of two sons serving in Iraq with the U.S. military, was among those assaulted. The attacker was a middle-aged woman. ”She hit my head, grabbed my neck, pulled my hands, and punched me with her fist.” As a result of the assault Ms. Chen was bleeding from the mouth and had scratches on her hand. A male mob member threatened to kill her. [1] Not just Chinese but also westerners have been beaten. On May 31, Steve Lancione from Boston found himself surrounded by a crowd of about 50 angry Chinese who began screaming at him and threatening him with violence. Several mob members struck Lancione, who said, “The crowd became violent when the police instructed them to calm down.” [2] As of May 30, six people had been arrested. According to the New York Times , which quoted the local police, three were charged with assault and others with disorderly conduct. [3] Not surprisingly, several media reported Chinese Consulate involvement. On May 23, Peng Keyu, the Chinese Consul General in NY, admitted in a recorded phone conversation with someone from a human rights organization, who he took to be a supporter, that the Chinese Consulate instigated the attacks. ”I usually park my car far from the scene because I must avoid being seen by [Falun Gong practitioners].” “They [the mob] came over after they fought with Falun Gong and I shook hands with them one by one and thanked them.” [4] |
