Adherents of the persecuted faith group Falun Gong in Hong Kong are demanding an apology from a pro-Beijing newspaper over a series of articles they say incited hate and eroded the last bit of freedom in the city.
Between April 20 and April 29, the newspaper Ta Kung Pao ran at least eight articles describing the spiritual practice as an “evil cult,” “superstition,” and “malignant tumor in society.” One article claimed that the Tianti Bookstore, where Falun Gong books are sold, was “smuggling poisonous books.”
