A group of 59 foreigners gathered at Tiananmen
Square in Beijing on the afternoon of February 14, 2002 to
preach Falun Gong fallacies and stir up trouble in violation
of China's laws on precessions and demonstrations. The
demonstrators were taken away from the site by the police on
duty in accordance with law and later on were reprimanded by
the department concerned for their misbehavior. On February
15, 53 of them with proved identities, were deported under
the order of China's law enforcement agency. During the
process, they received fair treatment. There are still 6
people who refused to identify themselves. They are yet to
be determined.
Apparently what they did has nothing to do
with religious belief but to challenge the laws of the land
and disrupt festivities of the Chinese people for the Lunar
New Year. In its representations with the related foreign
embassies in Beijing, the Chinese side pointed out that the
related foreign governments have the obligation to educate
their citizens in the necessity to abide by the laws and
regulations of the countries they visit and not to do
otherwise.
