On June 2, 2026, volunteers from the Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were conducting an information display outside the Shilla Duty Free Shop on South Korea’s Jeju Island to raise awareness about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. According to organizers, several Chinese men allegedly rushed toward the display, tore down banners and posters, and physically assaulted elderly volunteers, including individuals in their 60s and 70s. Witnesses reported that the attackers mentioned contacting the Chinese embassy during the confrontation. South Korean police detained three suspects at the scene and launched an investigation into possible violations of laws governing public assemblies and demonstrations.
The Quitting the CCP Center said the Jeju incident was part of a broader pattern of attacks targeting its volunteers in democratic countries. The organization cited five incidents between February and June 2026 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea, including assaults on volunteers in London, New York, and Los Angeles. Several of the victims were elderly individuals engaged in public outreach activities.
The organization also reported that its headquarters had previously received bomb threats and extortion messages. The incidents reflect efforts to intimidate critics of the CCP beyond China’s borders as examples of the CCP’s “long-arm repression.” More than 460 million people have submitted declarations renouncing membership in the CCP and its affiliated organizations through the “Tuidang” (Quit the CCP) movement, with approximately 50,000 new declarations submitted each day.
