Open Dissent in Hong Kong



I saw these Falun Gong protest posters all over Hong Kong. From what I know, the Chinese government considers Falun Gong a cult and has severely suppressed the practice and practitioners. Not sure what the text says, but the disturbingly graphic images seem to depict victims of torture. I didn't see anything like this on the mainland. Although Hong Kong has reverted back to Chinese rule, the government seems to have take a laissez faire approach to this little cluster of islands that are home to much of the economic and commercial braintrust of this region of the world.

I see a small group of Falun Gong folks in the park next to Casa 'd'la Baldy a couple times a week.

The movement isn't dead, it just relocated to Tucson
