(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of January 26, 2006, eight Falun Gong practitioners who were unreasonably arrested by Thai police bowing to pressure from the Chinese Embassy to Thailand, arrived in Norway. They are going to live in this land of freedom.
These practitioners staged a peaceful protest at the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok on December 10, 2005, against the incident of Chinese policeman He Xuejian raping two women Falun Gong practitioners. Bowing to the Chinese Embassy's pressure, they were illegally apprehended and beaten by the Thai police. With the concerted efforts of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Norwegian Government, they finally made it to this free country.
Local practitioners welcomed them upon their arrival at a Norwegian airport, along with a banner reading "Falun Gong is Good" and another banner expressing appreciation to the Norwegian Government and its people.
The practitioners were excited to set foot in this land of freedom, however they said that although they have regained their freedom, tens of millions of other Falun Gong practitioners are still subjected to persecution. The practitioners said that they will continue to expose the vicious persecution against Falun Gong so as to let more people know the facts and help end the persecution.
