On the 30th of June 2004, Falun Gong practitioners appealed at the Chinese Embassy in Helsinki regarding the shooting of Falun Gong practitioners in South Africa. A Falun Gong spokesperson in Finland stated that this incident is another act of overseas persecution by Jiang Zemin’s regime.

An Australian Falun Gong practitioner was shot and was sent urgently to hospital on the 28th of June 2004 during the visit of two Chinese officials in South Africa. Practitioner Mr. David Liang was in a car with some other Falun Gong practitioners while an unknown car appeared next to them and an African man from the car shoot at Mr. Liang, who was seriously injured.

Practitioners were on their way to appeal to the Chinese officials, who were visiting South Africa. The visitors are the minister of commerce Bo Xilai and the vice-president Zeng Qinghong, who are both well known for their roles in the persecution of Falun Gong in China. They have directly given orders against Falun Gong, which has resulted in thousands of cases of torture and illegal imprisonment as well numerous deaths. Both have previously been served with lawsuits with charges of torture, genocide and crimes against humanity in different countries. The Practitioners who were shot at were planning to file a lawsuit against Bo and Zeng in South Africa, as well as hold a press conference to expose their crimes.

Many people think that the Chinese visitors Bo and Zeng, who fear that their crimes will be exposed, are responsible for this gun attack.

A spokesperson for the Finnish Falun Dafa Association said in the appeal at the Chinese Embassy in Helsinki, “We believe that Zeng Qinghong and Bo Xilai are most likely behind this shooting incident. They are following closely Jiang Zemin’s orders to persecute and suppress Falun Gong by all means. The persecutors have committed terrible crimes against innocent people, both inside and outside China, and they are afraid that their crimes will be exposed to the world. This is a gross form of terrorism and persecution targeted directly at Falun Gong.”
