‘Growing Threats’ in Hong Kong Against Spiritual Practice ‘Deeply Concerning’: Benedict Rogers
The recent media campaign against a spiritual practice and the harassment of its followers in Hong Kong is “deeply concerning,” Benedict Rogers, co-founder and chief executive of the NGO Hong Kong Watch, said on Tuesday.
Since April 20, Ta Kung Pao, a Hong Kong media outlet widely regarded as a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has published a series of slanderous articles attacking Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, a Buddha-school spiritual discipline that has been suppressed in China for 22 years.
The media campaign is reminiscent of a similar campaign in mainland China in 1999 when the Chinese regime started its persecution of Falun Gong.
