CONFRONT THE PROPAGANDA IN FRONT OF THE PROPAGANDA
December 14, 2001
For Immediate Release:
CONFRONT THE PROPAGANDA IN FRONT OF THE PROPAGANDA
To commemorate the 8th anniversary of the Grand Opening of the
Chinese government owned and operated propaganda theme park known as
Florida Splendid China, Citizens Against Communist Chinese Propaganda
are pleased to join with the representatives from the Uyghur American
Association for a Press Conference to be held at Florida Splendid
China on December 15, 2001 at 10:30 AM. A statement from the Office
of Tibet, New York will also be read in front of the Potala Palace
exhibit as part of the same event.
Florida Splendid China is located off US-192 (Irlo Bronson Highway)
in Kissimmee, Florida.
Recent statements by Chinese government spokespersons have attempted
to implicate the freedom-loving peoples of East Turkestan and Tibet
as being terrorists and that these allegations are enough proof to
legitimize the continued abuses of human rights and dignity.
Florida Splendid China, as an element of the Communist Chinese
propaganda machine, is the right venue for this event as the intent
is to 'confront the propaganda in front of the propaganda.'
CACCP and the UAA will peaceably attempt to deliver the statements
and answer questions in front of the exhibits that represent East
Turkestan and Tibet inside the theme park. The participants will
purchase admission and meet at the exhibits at the appointed time,
however, in the event that the park's management asks them to leave,
they will comply immediately and reconvene in front of the Main Gate
on Formosa Gardens Blvd.
Also available at this event will be copies of the newly created East
Turkestan Guidebook from the
Uyghur American Association as well as copies of the statement from
the official representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the
Tibetan government in exile.
This action is not civil-disobedience and is not a departure from the
peaceful, legal tactics that have been employed since the park's
opening eight years ago.
