Chicago: Chinese Officials Film Falun Gong Practitioners Passing By from Rooftop of Consulate (Photos)

June 26, 2003

(Clearwisdom.net) The lawsuit filed in the Chicago District Federal Court against China's dictator Jiang has raised more and more awareness throughout the world. On June 21, about 3000 Falun Gong practitioners from all over the world held a grand rally and parade in Chicago's downtown and Chinatown to promote Falun Dafa and call on more people to join the effort of "Bring Jiang to Justice" and try Jiang in the court of conscience and in the court of morality.

When a possession of about 1500 Falun Gong practitioners paraded from Federal Plaza to the Chinese Consulate, two consulate officials climbed onto the roof and began videotaping the parade. This may seem innocuous to Westerners, but to Chinese who have grown up in a society of oppression under the finger of a dictator, it is clear that the filming was done to harrass the law abiding practitioners, and make it clear that the Chinese government will attempt to identify all practitioners and apply pressure wherever possible. However, the staff did not realize their behavior itself was recorded as evidence to be used in global efforts to bring Jiang to justice.

As an ancient Chinese proverb says, "If an official doesn't distinguish good from evil and tries to frame the honest, he will gain no benefits but ruin himself."
