NEW YORK—A woman who has been assaulting Chinese people in Flushing due to their practice of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline, was convicted at Queens Criminal Court on Jan. 8.
Li Huahong was sentenced for assault with intent to cause injury after hurting a man who tried to prevent her attacking a female Falun Gong practitioner in August, 2011. Cheng Changhe, 58, became Li’s target when he tried to intervene, initially holding onto his bag.
