Over the past few days, the Hong Kong authority’s politically motivated trial of the 16 Falun Gong practitioners has raised concerns from kind-hearted people all over the world. Seeing that Hong Kong, well-known for its flourish and freedoms, now bends to Jiang Zemin’s political pressure by putting the 16 innocent Falun Gong practitioners to court, people who love justice can not help but loudly call: Stop the wrongful accusation; Stop the political persecution; Hong Kong: Immediately dismiss this false accusation against the 16 innocent Falun Gong practitioners!

On August 7, 2002, Falun Gong practitioners from Hamburg peacefully appealed in front of the Chinese Consulate in Hamburg. They spent the entire day there to practise the Falun Gong exercises, study the Fa and do Fa Zheng Nian meditation. Together with fellow practitioners all over the world, Hamburg practitioners called on people from all walks of life to pay attention to what is currently going on in Hong Kong and to help stop this farce-like political trial. We handed out truth-clarifying materials to people who went into the Chinese Consulate, and clarified the truth about the Hong Kong trial to passers-by and policemen. People inside automobiles passing by all paid attention to our banners. When they stopped at the traffic light, they all accepted our truth-clarifying literatures and expressed their thanks. We concluded our activity in the evening, but our appeal was not ended. We will continue to do our best to clarify the truth of the Hong Kong false accusation to German media, government and kind-hearted people, and together to help to stop this groundless political trial.
