Falun Gong at the White House

Thursday April 20, 2006

Just as George Bush is exhorting the Chinese president to "allow people to speak freely," the secret service was arresting a member of Falun Gong (Dafa) who came to do just that. Chinese censors cut off CNN's signal as they attempted to transmit the incident. Dr. Wang Wenyi was protesting organ harvesting of Chinese prisoners and the government's treatment of Falun members. No doubt she will be criminally charged for "speaking her mind" outside of a "free speech zone."
