On December 19th, 2005, Finnish Falun Gong practitioners went to the Thai Consulate to hand in a letter to the Thai Consulate to protest the recent violation of Falun Gong practitioners' human rights by Thai police.

On December 10th, 2005, practitioners held a protest on the sidewalk opposite the Chinese Embassy regarding the incident of the wicked CCP policeman He Xuejian who raped two female Falun Gong practitioners. On that day Thai police were seen going in and out of the Chinese Embassy, dozens of the Thai police and plain clothes police crossed the street to stop Falun Gong practitioners’ quiet protest, searched Falun Gong practitioners’ bags, forcibly moved practitioners from their previous positions, seized practitioners’ banners and so on, which physically injured Falun Gong practitioners and damaged practitioners’ belongings. On December 15th, the Thai police, under the direction of the Chinese Embassy, arrested eight Falun Gong practitioners who were protesting against the CCP policeman who raped two female Falun Gong practitioners. Now there are six Falun Gong practitioners still being illegally detained. Except one young child, they all are on hunger strike protesting against this illegal arrest. The parents of two children aged four and six year old are among the jailed Falun Gong practitioners, the children have to be left unattended, the situation is extremely critical.

The open letter calls for the Thai authorities to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into the incident, demands that the Thai government should not submit to the pressure from the CCP and act as an accomplice of the persecution of Falun Gong, immediately release the jailed Falun Gong practitioners and trace the related personnel’s legal responsibility. The open letter also calls for the assistance of any and all international agencies that might help to investigate the human rights abuses carried out by agents of the CCP against Falun Gong practitioners throughout the world.

Practitioners also informed the Consulate staff about the fact that Falun Gong is a great cultivation way in the Buddha school based on the principle of Truthfulness Compassion and Forbearance and that Falun Gong has been spread to seventy eight countries all over the world, has improved over one hundred million people’s health both in body and mind, also the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China, the long-term hate-inciting propaganda against Falun Gong by the China state-run media. Personnel in the Consulate carefully listened to the practitioners, received the letter and related truth material and made an appointment to meet with the Ambassador on the 26th of December for practitioners.
