Prague

9 November 2001

Honoured ….,

To follow on from our friendly meeting in Prague, I would like to express support for your activities to benefit Falun Dafa (alias Falun Gong). At the same time I would like to express my support to this whole movement.

Personally, the stands of the people who adhere to this movement are very close to me, especially their accent on simple nonviolent exercises and meditation. I regard similar practices as extremely important for the inner life of each and every one of us.

For this reason I severely criticise the approach of the Chinese government, which has evoked an open repression toward the people who adhere to Falun Gong. From my personal experience I know the practices of a totalitarian power and therefore I am able to feel what is it like to be in a position of all those tortured and discriminated against in China.

I express my unreserved support for your effort and I am ready to help you within the possibilities that are open to me. I shall look forward to our next meeting.

Signed

Vladimir Mlynar
Member of PSP CR
Member of the Petition Committee
