South Korea: Koreans Attacked at Quit CCP Rally

This rally and parade in Ansan, Korea on Sunday commemorates the more than 60 million Chinese people who have renounced their current or former membership in the Chinese Communist Party. Participants include people who practice Falun Gong meditation, as well as human rights and democracy activists.

But not surprisingly, it made China’s communist regime unhappy.

Witnesses say a group of men connected with the Chinese Embassy started causing trouble. They hurled insults, destroyed banners, and even assaulted the rally’s participants.

This woman’s leg was severely hurt and her clothes were torn.

[Mrs. Lee, Attack Victim]:
“Suddenly one man punched me with both of his fists. And then pushed me.”

The attackers also injured two other Koreans. One of them, Dr. Jung, was an organizer of the event.

[Dr. Kitae Jung, Attack Victim & Event Organizer]:
“They didn’t just hit my face or other sensitive parts, but they punched me in the chest where it’s hard to see the damage. It seems that they’re well trained.”

Dr. Jung has been given three weeks leave from work to recover. He and Mrs. Lee will now seek legal action against the men who assaulted them.

A witness told the Epoch Times they heard one of the violent Chinese men saying, “Don’t worry. The Chinese Embassy is supporting us. The Korean police are nothing.”

Three Chinese men from the mob were arrested. According to one of the victims who was inside the police station at the time, one of the men arrested said, “I don’t mind being sent back to China. Call the Chinese Embassy.”

The incident is similar to a series of attacks in New York City in the summer of 2008. The men who were later shown to be connected with the New York Chinese consulate attacked people supporting the local “Quit CCP Service Center” in Flushing—a place where locals go to renounce their membership in the Chinese Communist Party.
