Leung Chun-ying “warns” Falun Gong practitioners; Finnish Foreign Ministry says intimidation unacceptable
梁振英「警告」法輪功學員 芬蘭外交部：不接受恐嚇行為
Leung Chun-ying, vice-chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Hong Kong’s former chief executive, was accused of “publicly warning” Falun Gong practitioners whom he said he would investigate in Helsinki, Finland. The Finnish Foreign Ministry confirmed to BBC Chinese that the incident occurred and said it could not accept any acts of intimidation. A Falun Gong group released a video alleging that on 13 August, Leung and his wife, Tang Ching-yi, carried out “public verbal intimidation” against Falun Gong practitioners who were practising in Helsinki’s Sibelius Park. Leung, who holds the status of a Chinese state leader, said he would investigate them. The Finnish Foreign Ministry described the incident as an “unfortunate event”, while an organisation associated with Falun Gong called it the “latest example of the Chinese Communist Party’s transnational repression”. BBC Chinese sought comment from the office of Hong Kong’s former chief executive in China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, but had not received a reply by Friday the 22nd.
中國全國政協副主席、香港前特首梁振英被指在芬蘭首都赫爾辛基「公開警告」會調查法輪功學員，芬蘭外交部對BBC中文證實該事件發生，並稱不能接受任何恐嚇行為。 法輪功群體發佈影片稱，8月13日，梁振英與妻子唐青儀在赫爾辛基西貝柳斯公園（Sibelius Park）對正在練功的法輪功學員「進行公開的言語恐嚇」。具備中國國家領導人身份的梁振英稱將調查對方。 芬蘭外交部形容這是一起「不幸事件」，法輪功關聯組織稱這是「中共跨國鎮壓的最新例證」。 BBC中文曾向中國香港特區前任行政長官辦公室尋求評論，截至星期五（22日）未獲回覆。
