6月30日,紐約時報發出一則
Born on a Queens Street, a Battle Over Falun Gong Goes to Court
的消息。據報道,Falun Gong與全球華人反邪教聯盟陷入一場官司,要求 as a witness the Falun Gong』s venerated founder and leader, Li Hongzhi.就是說要求Falun Gong教主Li Hongzhi作為證人出庭。但情況是Mr. Li, who moved to the United States in the late 1990s and whose whereabouts is unclear.也就是失蹤了。教主失蹤的消息,在Falun Gong間引起恐慌。8月19日,李教主現身了,發表了一篇誰也看不懂的說辭,但重點是:師在、法在。告訴弟子們,他老李還沒死,不要慌。不是像他們相像的那樣 did not know the whereabouts of the leader 。
