‘Thorough Investigation’ Needed: Global Tuidang Center

In a June 7 statement, the Global Tuidang Center strongly condemned the violent attack in Jeju and urged Korean authorities to conduct a “thorough investigation” to determine whether the attack was directed by the CCP from overseas, rather than treating it as a routine criminal case.

Tuidang, meaning withdrawal from the CCP, is a grassroots movement sparked by the editorial series “Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party,” first published in the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times in 2004. Falun Gong practitioners have volunteered to hand out pamphlets and talk to Chinese people from mainland China about the CCP’s brutal killing history, and to advise them to quit the CCP or its affiliated organizations. As of June 8, more than 462 million Chinese people have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Falun Gong practitioners who raise awareness of the persecution and advise Chinese people to withdraw from the Party are potentially targeted by the CCP and its agents. In China, they face severe punishment, including arbitrary detention, imprisonment, and torture. Outside China, they are assaulted by Chinese agents or individuals with ties to the regime.

“This was not a random street clash, but a premeditated and organized hate crime,” the Tuidang statement said.

The organization noted that this incident is part of a disturbing pattern. In recent months, violent attacks targeting its volunteers have occurred in the United States and the UK.
