Falun Gong practitioners in Ireland recieve death threats

[Undercover Reporter]

Hi Folks,

According to this story on the Epoch Times website, a number of Falun Gong practitioners have openly recieved death threats in Ireland (in the open) while telling people about the human rights abuses they are suffering:

The Epoch Times has a whole range of coverage of similar things that have happened recently mainly in NY's flusing area, the brackground is that the CCP is using the patriotism wipped up during the Olympic year and due to the herism of the peoples army during the earthquake rescue to attack Falun Gong.

I practice Falun Gong myself and was wondering is there anything that can be done about this kind of thing. It is clearly wrong but is it illegal, are there any actions that can be taken to stop it?

Ask the Chinese to make Falun Gong a late addition as an Olympic Sport?
Guaranteed Gold, Silver & Bronze medals to add to the tally.

Did the Epoch say why?

[Undercover Reporter]

As for why they are being threaten. Chinese language media are saying that Falun Gong practitioners are interfering with the rescue effort for the Earthquake, they also dipict the thugs in the incidents as the majority of Chinese over seas that everyone is against Falun Gong. They also say that Falun Gong is against the Olympics coming to China.

Basically the CCP has used recent events to bash falun Gong. Falun Gong practitioners have been hospitalised in attacks during these incidents in NY.
The picture in this article gives you an idea of what is happening:

The New York Times did a story that said "Because the counterdemonstrators (Communist group) do not publicly articulate their views, it is difficult to determine why they are showing up at the gatherings. Mr. Liu said they appeared to have no literature explaining their positions.
“It almost seemed like a spontaneous accumulation of people,” he said."

Why would people spontaneously turn up to attack Falun Gong, perhaps because the CCP sent them:
http://en.epochtimes.com/news/8-5-31/71253.html

Why would they send them. Well the attacks started at a quit 'CCP centre', 30,000,000 people have quit the communist party according to the Epoch Times, Falun Gong practitioners are encouraging fellow Chinese to quit the party. I think they encourage people to quit the party because they see it as the only way to end the persecution of their fellow practitioners in China.

Making public death threats is an offence that can lead to jail time or at the very least a conviction with suspended sentance. In response to your query about the possibility of doing anything, yes. Make sure the is a witness present, or the inciudent is taped, and call the guards immediatly. Once a report is made, the legal process is put in chain and simular incidents then can be dealt with as either part of the same problem or used to establish a pattern.

This is a link to a story about a man who has had his sentence reduced from 10 years to 7 years, for making a death threat. There was violance after the fact, but the man convicted was not judged on that incident and the sentence seems to relate to the threat only. However his previous criminal record was taken into account.

Hope you nail the f**kers.

Wait a second.

Did they get death threats from Chinese nationals or Irish nationals?

Hope you nail the f**kers.

I share this sentiment

They were Chinese people who threatened them.

Thanks for that report. Hugely encouraging.

I think this is being followed up on a number of levels. Hopefully will break into the main stream media too. Personally I am going to contact my local TD and ask him what can he do to help.

Chinese people threatening you IN IRELAND?
That's completely unacceptable.

Well, we have a very easy solution for that.
Chuck them on a plane and fly them back to the Communists.
