(Clearwisdom.net) On February 18, 2004, Mr. Zenon Dolnyckyj, a Falun Gong practitioner from Canada was refused entry into Hong Kong. He had planned to promote his book Coming for You. Zenon said that the reason for the refusal is because of Jiang Zemin's fear of people discovering the truth about Falun Gong, and that Jiang is frightened that people will learn the truths revealed in his book.
According to a February 19th report by Associated Press, on Wednesday evening Zenon was prevented form boarding a China Airlines flight in Taipei en route to Hong Kong. A China Airlines employee explained they had received notification from the Hong Kong Immigration Department to prevent Zenon from flying into Hong Kong. Falun Gong practitioners in Hong Kong assert that the Hong Kong Immigration Department's decision to refuse Zenon's entry into Hong Kong has violated the freedom and the legal system in Hong Kong.
According to news from Falun Dafa Information Center, Zenon went to Taiwan a few days earlier to launch his Chinese-language new book Coming for You. Hong Kong was the next stop on his book promotion tour. This was not to be. When he was about to board China Airlines flight 619 scheduled to take off for Hong Kong in the evening of February 28, complications ensued. An airline employee presented him a fax from Hong Kong Immigration, saying that Zenon should not be carried to Hong Kong unless his travel documents bear a valid visa for Hong Kong, issued by the Hong Kong Immigration Department. Canadian citizens are usually permitted entry into Hong Kong for up to 90 days without a visa.
The book Coming for You describes his journey to Beijing' s Tiananmen Square on November 12, 2001. He travelled together with 35 other Western Falun Gong practitioners. They held a big, gold-colored banner reading the words "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance." Zenon shouted out in Chinese, "Falun Dafa is good! Europe knows! Canada knows! America knows and the whole world knows Falun Dafa is good!" The book also tells how he changed completely from a decadent past of drug and alcohol abuse into an honest and upright young man through Dafa cultivation practice.
Zenon said in a statement that he believes the Hong Kong government acted as it did as a result of pressure from Jiang's group. The fact that Jiang Zemin, as Chairman of China's Central Military Committee, is so frightened of a book written by a 26-year- old Canadian, shows how terrified he is for his crimes of genocide.
Zenon does not blame the Hong Kong government for refusin him entry. He commented that Jiang is the one who is responsible for all this. Jiang is afraid of people knowing the truth about Falun Gong, and Jiang is fearful that the truths Mr. Zenon has exposed in his book will make people aware of the real situation.
