Welcome for Chinese leader interrupted by heckler - Bush, Hu, protester, White House - Americas - International Herald Tribune

Welcome for Chinese leader interrupted by heckler - Bush, Hu, protester, White House - Americas - International Herald Tribune: "She began shouting in Chinese, but broke into English at moments, yelling 'Stop the torture and killings!' and shouting the name of the Falun Gong, a religious and exercise sect that is outlawed in China. 'Falun Dafa is good,' she yelled. Hu looked at first confused and then hesitated before continuing to speak. 'You're okay,' Bush said to him in a low voice, prodding him on.

For about a minute, the shrill protests punctuated both Hu's remarks and the gaps in which he fell silent when they were being translated into English. A photographer standing next to the woman tried briefly to silence her."
