The China Embassy in Austria may have made a
malicious report of political retaliation against Gao Yi, which led to Gao Yi
being fined by the Austrian police.
On the afternoon of March 18, 2024, Gao Yi
protested against the Chinese Communist Party in front of the China Embassy in
Austria.
On the morning of March 19, 2024, the Austrian
police in Vienna mailed a fine of 50 Euros to Gao Yi for protesting in front of
the China Embassy in Austria on the afternoon of March 18, 2024.
At noon on March 20, 2024, Gao Yi learned from
a conversation with the Austrian police in Vienna that someone had already
reported to the Austrian police that Gao Yi had used a hand-held shouting
device, and Gao Yi asked the Austrian police who had reported him. The Austrian
police said it was not clear who reported it, anyway, it was someone who
reported it.
On the morning of March 25, 2024, Gao Yi
received a fine letter from the Austrian police in Vienna, which marked the
reason for the fine and the time and place, that is, the use of a hand-held
shouting device at the China Embassy in Austria (1030 Vienna, Metternichgasse
4,) at about 16:00 p.m. on March 18, 2024.
Gao Yi was protesting and demonstrating to the
Chinese Embassy in Austria on the afternoon of March 18, 2024, and there was
also very loud construction noise all around, but it was against Gao Yi that
someone reported it. In fact, Gao Yi's handheld shouting device was not very
loud compared to the surrounding construction noise. Gao Yi believes that the
informant was probably a diplomatic official from the Chinese Embassy, which is
supported by the Austrian police's fine letter, which states the location where
Gao Yi was reported (1030 Vienna, Metternichgasse 4). It is very likely that
the report against Gao Yi is a way for the China Embassy in Austria to
maliciously and skillfully use Austrian law to take political revenge against
Gao Yi.
Below is the letter from the Austrian police
fining Gao Yi:
Gao Yi solemnly protests against the China
Embassy in Austria!
