Reply from the Chairman of the Swedish Foreign Office: “Your letter provides us with valuable information.”

In the middle of December 2003, some Swedish Dafa practitioners sent out truth materials prepared by the Swedish Falun Dafa Association to locally selected members of Parliament about Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted and tortured in China. Soon after the letter was delivered, positive feedback was received from government officials and members of Parliament. Below is the text of a reply from the Chairman of the Swedish Foreign Office:

Utrikesutskottet
Urban Ahlin,
Chairman
Swedish Parliament
100 12 Stockholm,

December 18th 2003.

Swedish Falun Dafa Association,

Thanks for sending me the letter together with the detailed materials. For the human rights status in China, we in the Swedish Diplomacy Committee have constantly paid attention to and raised the issue that concerns you. Our international representative has stated our point of view on this. When we meet with Chinese government representatives, we will speak to them about their actions against human rights, among which the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is included. Your letter provides us with valuable information.

Sincerely yours,
Urban Ahlin
