The spiritual group was banned in mainland China in 1999 but its members have been allowed to practice in Hong Kong freely, even though the group urges people to renounce the ruling Chinese Communist Party. Yang said she no longer feels safe in the city after the security law made the broadly defined crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces punishable by up to life in prison.
On Falun Gong generally, the ministry said in a statement: “Falun Gong is a cult organization banned by the Chinese government in accordance with the law, which has also been spurned by the Chinese people for a long time. Banning this cult organization is an act of justice by the Chinese government, made in response to the people’s demand and an effort to maintain social stability and to protect human rights. The alleged suppression is nonsense.
Ingrid Wu, spokeswoman for the Hong Kong Association of Falun Dafa, an alternative name for the group, said two members have already left Hong Kong because of fears for their safety. She identified one of those people only as Susan, and asked that the other not be named.Even though the new security law makes no specific mention of religious or spiritual groups, Maya Wang, senior China researcher at Human Rights Watch, described the law as wide and arbitrary.
Hong Kong police declined to comment on Falun Gong and said it did not track national security complaints against specific groups. Reuters could not independently verify that the police were behind the removal of any banners.Although largely left in peace by the Hong Kong government, Chan and her fellow members have for years faced opposition from certain pro-Beijing groups based in the city.
Oh! Do not come here.
Lol, these fools.
Fa lungong is a dark cult and will mislead people to sacrifice themselves to be the fete. Please know more about it before defending it!
Do you know what Falun gong is before you defense them? Check some background and tell me if they deserve to go to jail.
If Hitler set up a national security law for Germany in WWII, over 90% population of the world would be criminals under this law except Japanese & German. Anyone against tyranny r judged to be criminals. In 2020, anyone against Beijing tyranny r criminals under that law.
Bombing Buddha statue, burning Christian cross, forcing Muslims to eat pork, all occurred in China. Falun Gong is just a small case for CCP.
It reminds me of Aum Shinrikyo in Japan

It is a cult that once declared that the world would collapse in 1999. It turned out the teaching was based on lies and its goal is to make money from the pious believers.
