Hi Michael Feldman,

Thanks for the nice picture on Falun Gong on your DNC article. Just to clarify some facts on Falun Gong, it does not make any contributions – political or otherwise; never has and never will.

If you are familiar the requirements put out by the City of Boston regarding permits for the DNC, it is on a first come first serve basis. We were just thinking ahead thats all. Even though, others still beat us to certain locations as they have put in their request a year ahead.

I actually have experienced that the City was very fair in this process.

Also this was all organized by local Falun Gong practitioners. As we do not have too many practitioners here, for a big occasion like this, we of course asked help from other areas. Falun Gong is practice in over 60 countries. So it is not really an event by foreigners as there were also a lot of people from other regions of the U.S.

PLease check out more in-depth on what we are doing to stop this persecution. Please see the website I have provided.

As you are connected to the law school as your website indicates, you might be interested that over a dozen of lawsuits have been filed on high ranking Chinese officials around the world who are connected to this persecution, including the former China President Jiang Zemin. Legal means is in keeping with the peaceful means and appraoch we believe in in our efort to stop this persecution. The latest lawsuit filed and accepted was in Tanzania.

I welcome your correspondence.

Sincerely,
Michael Tsang

Falun Gong has zero, zip, nada to do with Buddhism. Just to set the record straight.
