A Chinese defector told US lawmakers on Thursday of a global campaign against members of the Falun Gong spiritual group being waged by the Chinese Communist Party through China's embassies and consulates, calling the party a "government terrorist organization."
Chen Yonglin (???) told a congressional panel probing China's human-rights record that his job for the past four years at the Chinese consulate in Sydney was to spy on and persecute followers of Falun Gong, which China banned in 1999 after branding it an "evil cult."
``The war against Falun Gong is one of the main tasks of the Chinese missions overseas,'' Chen said in testimony to the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and International Operations.
