HONG KONG – Members of the Falun Gong meditation sect demonstrated in Hong Kong on Tuesday, marking Chinese President Jiang Zemin's arrival for a global economic conference by accusing his government of killing more than 202 followers on the mainland.
Spokeswoman Sharon Xu also attacked the ``pure discrimination against Falun Gong practitioners,'' saying more than 100 foreign followers of the sect, including some Americans, have been barred from entering Hong Kong in the past few days.
Jiang arrived Tuesday morning and was scheduled to address the opening dinner of the Fortune Global Forum, a three-day conference of corporate executives whose speakers also will include former President Clinton and Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
