| HK government
will not allow Falun Gong to abuse freedoms, Tung(04/25/2001)
Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
Tung Chee Hwa stressed Wednesday the SAR government will observe
closely the activities of the Falun Gong in Hong Kong, and will
not allow them to abuse Hong Kong's freedoms and tolerance to affect
public peace and order in the SAR or in the mainland.
Tung said in a statement that the annual Fortune Global Forum,
to be held in Hong Kong next month, is to attract the world's top
investors, to enhance Hong Kong's international image and promote
economic development, and to create more employment opportunities
for Hong Kong people.
The SAR government has noticed some public activities held by Falun
Gong members, Tung said. "Clearly such activities go beyond
purely religious activities or physical exercise and represent a
deliberate move to undermine the relationship between Hong Kong
and the central government," he said.
"These activities interfere with the smooth conduct of the
Forum, go against the interests of the HKSAR and its people, and
are unacceptable to the community," Tung stressed.
