Sweden: Letter from a Swediish Practitioner to the Singapore Government
2007-02-01"I read in the newspaper today that a trial was held on January 22nd, 2007, of six Falun Gong practitioners who distributed flyers about the persecution of Falun Gong two years ago ... Apparently no family members, media or supporters have been allowed to attend the trial ... I wonder if Singapore, like all other democratic countries in the world, should show her support and sympathy to these people who simply want to inform the public about a horrible on-going persecution in China. How could they have been so maltreated in Singapore?" -

Sweden: Letter to the Singapore Goverment
2007-01-31"It has come to my knowledge that a show trial against six Falun Gong practitioners in Singapore began on January 22nd in Singapore for having delivered flyers about the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The court was held with only eight seats for the judge and defendants etc, neither media nor relatives were allowed to be present. I believe that Singapore wants to be considered as a part of the international community. But now it seems as Singapore is walking hand in hand with the biggest dictatorship in the world, and is unfortunately influenced by the Chinese Communist Party ... " -

Germany: Falun Gong Association Protests at the Singapore Embassy
2007-01-30"Six Falun Gong practitioners were in twos or threes distributing materials about the persecution of Falun Gong in mainland China on Wujie road. The party concerned did not have an intention of breaking Singaporean law. In such a condition, as soon as the police pointed it out, the party concerned removed their banners and abided by the order. We feel it very difficult to understand why the court in Singapore insisted on seizing this point and striking Falun Gong practitioners without considering the outcome if they do not have any political factors behind them." -
Press Conference Speech by Director of Czech NGO Human Rights without Borders
2007-01-29" ... I invite you to symbolically ring the keys once again, this time to support all the Chinese people who were not as lucky as we were seventeen years ago and who couldn’t successfully finish their own “Tiananmen Velvet Revolution”. Together, let us help all the people in concentration camps in China whom I believe we can still rescue. We can learn from history that in these issues time plays the most important role and to hesitate even a little bit might mean an irretrievable loss of human life." -

Support Letter from Czech MP
2007-01-28
"It’s a great honour for me to be able to support, even if just symbolically, the very meaningful thing of merit that was accomplished here. But this is just the beginning. Human rights are indivisible and I can’t imagine we would put higher value on business relations then to protecting human rights, dignity and lives when dealing with that regime and having the Olympic Games in China ... I’m urging our government and governments of all EU members to put pressure on China ..." -
Slovakia: Welcoming the New Year at the Chinese Embassy in Bratislava
2007-01-27
The coming of the new year is a good reason for celebration, but for a few followers of Falun Gong at the Chinese Embassy in Bratislava it had a symbolic meaning.

Meditation has symbolic value at the Chinese Embassy because it is China that for seven years has persecuted followers of this spiritual system. -
Speech Given by David Kilgour During Rally in Prague
2007-01-27
"Very briefly I’d like to say to you that David Matas and I studied this terrible problem of organ harvesting and we’ve concluded that thousands of Falun Gong practitioners in China have been killed and their organs have been sold for large amounts of money ... If it doesn’t stop this terrible thing that it is doing how can anyone of us anyone of you go to Beijing in 2008 to watch the Olympic Games? What kind of an Olympic spirit is it put on by a government that kills its own people?"
