Radio Free Asia: Falun Gong practitioners in Athens Demand that China Improves Its Human Rights Situation

On the 5th of August, RFA reported that Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference in Athens, demanding that China improves its human rights situation immediately. Falun Gong’s statement says that in a few days the Athens Olympic Games will begin. After the Athens Olympic Games, the games’ flag will be transported to Beijing, yet since the end of the last century China has grossly violated human rights.

According to RFA’s report, two Greek Falun Gong practitioners have already sued three Chinese officials, including former Chinese President Jiang Zemin and the former Chinese Vice-President Li Lanqing, accusing them of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong’s lawyer says that they demand the Athens judiciary gives orders to arrest the three officials if they set foot in Athens to watch the Olympic Games.
