Times New York May 2, 2005 THE Falun Gong Human Rights Working Group submitted a formal appeal to the United Nations regarding the violation of two Singapore Falun Gong practitioners’ basic human rights by the Singapore police and the unjust verdict against the practitioners by the Singapore court. Singapore Falun Gong practitioners Mrs Ng Chye Huay and Mrs Cheng Lujin received unjust accusation by the police because they practiced Falun Gong exercises in the Singapore Marina City Park, introduced Falun Gong and explained the cruel persecution of Falun Gong in China to passersby. The court found both women guilty and punished them with heavy penalties. Mrs Huay and Mrs Cheng were simply exercising their basic rights as world citizens. They were exercising their rights to freedom of belief and freedom of speech as well as helping people understand the real situation in China. The Singapore court’s discrimination and persecution of Mrs Ng Chye Huay and Mrs Cheng Liujin has tainted the good name of Singapore – the Switzerland of the East, and it also hurt Singapore’s standing in the international community of free nations. |
