monitored by 17-year-old Chinese guards, he said.
“They kept us under surveillance for 24 hours,
even watching us go to the bathroom," Nappi said.
"When we asked to call the embassy, they told us
we were their guests. When anyone tried to leave,
they were beaten up.”
Finally, Nappi and the other 60 international pro
testers were escorted to a flight leaving Beijing and
identified as terrorists to the other passengers.
Nappi said he hopes that President Bush will
sit down with Jiang at his Crawford ranch and
ask him what is going on with the human rights
violations in China.
Nappi said a lot of Falun Gong members in
China practice in secret.
“There were 200 million people doing it when
they cracked down on it (in 1999)," Nappi said.
“They outnumbered the Communist Party two to
one. The Communists thought Falun Gong mem
bers were taking over.”
Chan said Falun Gong is not a political
organization.
“We have a series of five exercises we go
through, and we practice truthfulness, compassion
and tolerance,” Chan said.
Kent McKinney, a Falun Gong activist, came to
Texas this week from Florida to participate in
demonstrations before Jiang's talk.
“Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives
passed a resolution condemning China s actions
toward Falun Gong," he said. “1 am here to raise
awareness among students. This method has proven
very effective in the past.”
Falun Gong members will protest Thursday in
front of the Presidential Conference Center from
9 a.m. to 10 a.m. in a designated free speech
area. McKinney said. Jiang is slated to speak at
11:15 a.m.
“We’ve already worked it out with the police
how this protest is going to work,” Nappi said.
“We're going to meditate and then raise a sign.
We want the president to see us.”
Becky O’Brien, a senior customer service assis
tant at Scheduling and Serv ices, which handles all
the free speech areas on campus, said that Falun
Gong has registered to speak in the Academic Plaza
near the Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue Tuesday and
Thursday. The space around the MSC was already
booked, she said.
“Anyone is welcome to use that area,” O'Brien
said. “They just have to schedule it through me to
make sure that space is available and then
(Associate Director of the University Center
Complex) Dennis Busch signs off on it. If we
think there's going to be a problem, we will alert
security and police.”

Tenney said the United States has lost

Reischman said TiiMS will train the next
