Italy: Exposing the Chinese Communist regime’s Persecution Against Falun Gong Practitioners in a Female Immigrant Forum

On March the 15th 2006, an Italian Falun Gong practitioner was invited to attend a female immigrant forum hosted by the most prestigious social organisation in southern Italy. As a guest speaker at the forum, the practitioner exposed the various forms of brutal persecution that the Chinese communist regime inflicts on female Falun Gong practitioners, forcing them to abandon their belief in “Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance”. The hostess of the forum, who is also a renowned lawyer, commented that the barbaric, inhumane crimes of the Chinese Communist regime should be denounced and stopped by all of the world’s people.

In her speech, the practitioner introduced herself as a Falun Gong practitioner originating from China. She lives in Italy now and enjoys freedoms of belief and speech. However, millions of female Falun Gong practitioners have been ruthlessly persecuted and tortured by the Chinese communist regime since July 20th 1999 because they persist in practising Falun Gong and refused to give up their belief. Many of them have been persecuted to death.

The forum participants were highly shocked after they understood the relentless persecution that is occurring in China. They all indicated their support. The lawyer hostess said, “We can’t tolerate the evil fact that such despicable torture and baseless persecution against a faith group has occurred and keeps going on in the 21st century.”

She pointed out that the most basic human rights are not respected in China. Today we stress the importance of peaceful co-existence through mutual understanding and tolerance, but the Chinese Communist Party go against these things. They trample on the basic values of the human being.

Also, “After we realise what Falun Gong is all about, in particular, it is even harder for us to understand the persecution. Therefore, we have to deliver a clear message: No matter which country or area of the world is concerned: such brutal, inhuman crimes should be stopped and denounced by the whole of humanity.”
