French National Assembly Member Alain Marleix Calls for Investigation into the Paris Incident

From the 24th to the 28th of January, 2004, during the time of the China-France cultural parade and Hu Jintao's visit to France, several Falun Gong practitioners were arbitrarily arrested and mistreated in Paris because of pressure from the Chinese regime. Falun Gong practitioners wrote to National Assembly Members, pointing out the unfair treatment Falun Gong practitioners received in Paris at the end of January. Below is a translation of National Assembly Member Alain Marleix's reply, saying that he solicited an investigation over this incident.

Dear Mr. President,

I have duly received your correspondence dated this 2nd of March, which has caught all of my attention. I immediately forwarded your message to the Presidency of the VMP Group at the National Assembly of which I am a member and solicited an investigation. As for me, I will not miss the opportunity to contact all ministries concerned.

In the meantime, please accept my kindest regards, Mr. President.

Sincerely yours,

Alain Marleix
