Taiwan protests call for the release of imprisoned Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioner Chung Ting-pang who was abducted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) security on June 18 by police at the airport in Ganzhou City in southeastern China’s Jiangxi Province. This has led to combined protests in Taiwan by Tibetans and Falun Gong, and other human rights, supporters, as described by the Taipei Times.
Epoch Times reports that: “The police have since said Chung was in China because he planned on broadcasting information about the spiritual practice of Falun Gong on China’s cable TV system. The 53-year-old Chung is a Falun Gong practitioner. He is also a very friendly and highly respected businessman, an IT manager of a high-tech company in Hsinchu City, Taiwan.” See the complete Epoch Times Report here.
