Hong Kong Falun Gong practitioners reported on November 21 that Mr. Suen Chung-man, a practitioner from Hong Kong is scheduled to be tried and sentenced soon, after being wrongfully detained for over 6 months in Shenzhen City. His family and Hong Kong Falun Gong practitioners are calling for all people around the world who carry a sense of justice to help urgently rescue Mr. Suen through all possible means. It is reported that Mr. Suen Chung-man will also be included on the global Falun Gong practitioners’ family member rescue list, which will be sent to governments of different countries to seek for support.

Suen Chung-man is 46 years old, a permanent resident of Hong Kong and a businessman who started practicing Falun Dafa in November, 1998. He lived with his wife and daughter before he was arrested. On May 17, 2002, he went to Shenzhen through Luohu station. It was alleged that when he passed through customs, the police discovered 40 Falun Gong truth-clarifying VCDs [Video Cdrom’s] in his possession. The customs confiscated the VCDs and police from the National Public Security Bureau arrested Suen. After 4 months of living under surveillance in the Public Security Bureau, the Shenzhen Municipal Police Station officially arrested Mr. Suen on September 23 and held him in the detention center of the Longgang district police station. Mr. Suen’s wife, Wong Am said that Suen would be tried on November 22, in the Longgang district court in Shenzhen City. It has been reported that a seven-year term in jail has already been decided internally.

Mr. Suen’s family members all expressed their indignation towards the unreasonable sentence. They noted that Mr. Suen is an honest and kind person who never argues with others, and that after he practiced Falun Gong, his family became harmonious and his moral character became even stronger. Hong Kong Falun Gong practitioners pointed out that Mr. Suen carried those VCDs simply hoping to clarify the facts about Falun Gong and to expose the Jiang regime’s illegal persecution and its deceitful lies to the Chinese people. This was an action of justice and the Chinese authorities should not imprison Mr. Suen. Hong Kong practitioners hope that the related departments will not follow Jiang’s evil orders, but immediately release Mr. Suen.

Several Hong Kong and international media conducted interviews and reported on this incident.
