Gong followers battle police in Singapore (11/10/2001)
The Associated Press reported on November 10, 2001 that followers
of the Falun Gong sect scuffled with Singaporean policemen when
a photo exhibition portraying Falun Gong as a dangerous cult.
One Falun Gong follower grabbed a microphone and said in Chinese
that the exhibition was "rubbish," while others yelled
at China's ambassador to Singapore, Zhang Jiuhuan.
Falun Gong is outlawed on China's mainland as an "evil cult."
China says the group is a cult that has caused the deaths of more
than 1,600 people, mostly practitioners it says were told to use
meditation rather than medicine to fight illness.
