Chinese Embassy Officials Scream and Shout at Greek Citizen in Cyprus

As it was Chinese New Year, a friend of mine and I decided to go to the Chinese Embassy in Cyprus to wish them Happy New Year and deliver a Happy New Year VCD in Chinese to the Ambassador.

The Ambassador was not there, but two officials talked to us. We handed over the VCD and wished them a happy New Year. I thought I should take the opportunity to tell them that Falun Gong is good and that my family practices it. Also, I could tell them how much we benefited from practicing it and that it was wrongful by the Chinese president to persecute innocent Falun Gong practitioners. When I started to talk about Falun Gong they got very aggressive and started to interrogate me on the spot, “who are you, where are you from, why are you here!!?” Although I had already told them, they asked again and again, being very aggressive.

I asked them why they became so upset, and told them that I come in peace. I was very calm and tried to explain things to them. But instead they got even more aggressive and demanded me to hand over my passport. I said, “why should I give you my passport, I’m a Greek Citizen”. Over and over again, screaming and shouting, they demanded I should hand over my passport. I refused to, but as I had it in my pocket I just showed it to them so they could see I am a Greek citizen. At that moment, a third official that had come to the scene, violently grabbed my passport and tried to take it from my hands. I held on to it and said, “what are you doing, you can’t take my passport, I’m a Greek citizen”. When I said: "You can't take my passport, I'm a Greek citizen", one of the officials threatened: "This is Chinese territory!" He didn’t listen and just kept pulling. At last, fortunately I pulled it from his hands. Finally, yelling and screaming they threw us out.

I want to tell these officials: don’t be fooled by Jiang Zemin’s lies, good is rewarded with good and evil is met by evil. Wake up before it is too late.
