July 29, By Wei Cheng
The Hong Kong-based China Information Center of Human Rights and Democracy
Movement said that the Chinese government is exerting pressure on US through its
Embassy in US, urging the US government not to provide political asylum to Zhang
Hongbao.
The center claimed that if Zhang Hongbao is extradited back to China, he should
sentence to death. The center further stated that a reiable source disclosed
that the Chinese government has dispatched agents overseas to search for Zhang
Hongbao. If there are difficulties in bringing him back to China, these agents
are given permission to execute him on the spot.
In November 1990, Zhang Hongbao made a report in Beijing. Present were dozens of
generals and high-ranking provincial and ministerial government officials
listening to his report. The official Central People’s Broadcasting Station even
set up a special program “Kylin Culture”, and made hundreds of news reports
about Zhong Gong.
The center said that Chinese leaders Jiang Zemin later feared that the
development of Zhongi Gong would threaten the regime of the Chinese government
and it would become an opposition party. So it has kept a close watch on Zhong
Gong since 1995. In October last year, the Chinese government initiated a
large-scale crack down on Zhongi Gong. At present, all of 3,000 legitimate
organizations of Zhongi Gong have been closed and 600 leaders have been
arrested.
