Human rights meeting between the European Parliament and China: European Parliament Human Rights Official called for justice, while the Chinese delegates responded by being rude, anxious and nervous.

(Clearharmony site) Between 23rd and 25th October the human rights meeting between the European Parliament and China was held in Beijing. Prior to the meeting the Falun Gong practitioners in Europe had contacted the ambassadors of their residential countries in Beijing and informed them of the latest information of the persecution towards the Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese government. Practitioners in Europe also called the European ambassadors in Beijing to contribute to the release of Falun Gong practitioners held in Chinese prisons, especially Zhao Ming from Ireland and Teng Chunyan from USA.

A total of 15 European countries ambassadors and MEPs heard from Falun Gong practitioners in their countries. It was hoped that they would develop a good understanding of the movement and the brutal persecution by the Chinese authorities and that they would contribute to end the persecution and call for human rights justice.

The above 15 officials and ambassadors told the Falun Gong practitioners that they were aware of Falun Gong and the belief in “Truth-Compassion-Forbearance”, that the vicious persecution by the Chinese authorities is a terrible human rights violation that must be stopped by the joint efforts of all kind people, governments, and non-governmental organizations. They also expressed that they had been trying many methods to develop positive human rights dialogue with Beijing, calling for a peaceful way to resolve the Falun Gong issues; they would in future continue to support the Falun Gong practitioners until the end of the persecution. The European officials also exposed the odd attitude of the Chinese delegates. It seemed that the Chinese delegates were able to keep a fairly decent attitude with all issues discussed except for Falun Gong problems. Whenever Falun Gong was mentioned they would turn anxious and nervous, and sometimes they even hit the table with force, throwing back all Falun Gong related materials that were given to them by the European officials. The Falun Gong practitioners told the European officials, “The way in which the Chinese delegates reacted told us of the terrible attitude they hold when dealing with Falun Gong issues and Falun Gong practitioners. Their funny reactions only proved to us Europeans that they were afraid of us mentioning Falun Gong issues, that they were afraid of explaining the persecution on Falun Gong. Because they know that the more they try to cover up, the more loop holes they would expose, and therefore the more truth of the persecution would be exposed. However we Falun Gong practitioners are not afraid of anything, because what we do is truly righteous and totally open to the public. All we want is to let people all over the world to know about us, to know about “Truth-Compassion-Forbearance”, and to live a happy life both mentally and physically.”

The significant support of the European officials towards Falun Gong has touched every practitioner.

During the human rights meeting all European officials expressed to the Chinese delegates on behalf of the Falun Gong practitioners, that the European Parliament urges the Chinese government to stop the persecution immediately and resolve Falun Gong issues peacefully. However the Chinese delegates reacted with a bad attitude and expressed that they have been using the so-called “educational ways” to transform the Falun Gong practitioners, and that they would continue to do this until Falun Gong would disappear one day. The European officials told us that despite of the terribly rude attitude of China, they would not give up and they hope that their constant efforts may change the situations one day. We expressed to them our gratitude, and that we Falun Gong practitioners would not give up either.
