About 40 Falun Gong members have demonstrated outside the Central Government's Liaison Office in Sheung Wan against what they say is the mainland's persecution of their members. The protesters marked National Day by holding banners and photos and observing one minute of silence for those of its group detained on the mainland.
The Falun Gong says one of its women followers suffered a lengthy beating by police before being thrown to her death from a high window. The group's New York-based headquarters said Yu Xiuling died on 19 September after a fall from the fourth story of a police station in the northeastern province of Liaoning. It said her husband was told that she had jumped to her death.
