FLUSHING, New York City—Harassment and attacks targeting Falun Gong practitioners in Flushing have lasted for nearly two months. When the strength of the pro-communist effort appeared to be waning, media sympathetic to the Chinese communist regime presented two local politicians as providing encouragement to those involved in attacking Falun Gong.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) planned, organized and carried out a constant presence of harassment and in some cases physical attacks beginning on May 17, using as a pretense for the hostility the lie that Falun Gong practitioners had “interfered with Sichuan earthquake relief donation activities.”
