More than 40 foreign Falun Gong activists, who agitated for the banned cult and produced uproars on Tian'anmen Square on February 14, have been given reprimand, admonition, education and humanitarian treatment.

  Sources said this activity violated the Chinese Law on Assembles, Processions, and Demonstrations and regulations on dealing with evil cults. These foreigners were taken away from the square according to the law by patrolling police.

  This turmoil at the heart of the Chinese capital was aimed to undermine the happy atmosphere of Spring Festival, the Lunar New Year and a time for traditional Chinese family reunions, said the government sources.

  Relevant departments are looking into the case.
