A follower practises Falun Gong at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei
A follower practises Falun Gong at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei July 2, 2008. Chinese tourists arriving in Taiwan this week may meet face to face with followers of the spiritual group Falun Gong, but tourism authorities will try to prevent possible confrontations, local media reported. Falun Gong has been persecuted in China, but followers are allowed to practise freely in Taiwan and have been promoting the movement at sightseeing spots popular with Chinese tourists.
