Spanish Senator declares his Support for the Human Rights of Falun Gong Practitioners

"I have always supported basic human rights advocated in the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. Therefore, I strongly guard the freedom of assembly and belief. A modern society with the separation of church and state should place an emphasis on coexistence and tolerance of all religions and beliefs.

After hearing about and understanding the details of the plight of Falun Gong practitioners in China, I will insist on my stance and continue to respect their belief and guard their rights of expression."
