Belgian Amnesty International issued a statement on the Chinese premier’s visit to Belgium and the EU China trade forum. The statement especially pointed out that the International Amnesty requests the Chinese Government to conduct a thorough, fair and independent investigation into the already verified deaths of Falun Gong practitioners in detention centres, and to report on Falun Gong practitioners being subjected to torture during detention periods and brutally persecuted. All those who are responsible must be prosecuted by law according to fair standards set by international judicature.
In the news proclamation directed at the EU-China Trade Forum on the 5th of May, Amnesty International emphasised that it is afraid that during the visit by the Chinese leader, the attention of businessmen will only be placed on economic issues and the severity of China’s human rights problems will not be considered as a topic for discussion. Amnesty International thinks that the concern for human rights problems should not be blotted out by economic benefits. This is because in China, every year 10,000 people are being executed. Falun Gong practitioners and some religious or spiritual groups are being persecuted everyday.
