German Members of Parliament Condemn the Persecution of Falun Gong

Many Falun Gong practitioners in Germany wrote letters to their elected representatives to tell them the truth about Chinese concentration camps, to ask for their help to perform a complete investigation into facilities where practitioners have been incarcerated and to help stop the genocide against Falun Gong.

In the past few weeks the practitioners received many replies from their Members of Parliament. The MPs condemned the persecution of Falun Gong and the violations of basic human rights. Various political parties in Germany all confirmed their respect for human rights and the efforts for improving human rights in China.

An MP in Southern Germany wrote: "The realization of global basic human rights is an important humane foundation of German foreign trade. Improving human rights and setting up human rights organizations is very important to the German government. Thus, the German government pays a great deal of attention to the human rights situation in China. The incident you mentioned in the letter is intolerable and should be subject to the most severe punishment."

Meanwhile, an MP of the German Green Party enumerated several recent moves taken by the Green Party to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. The letter pointed out the Green Party is very clear the CCP government is capable of doing anything in order to persecute Falun Gong. However, no concession can be made on the issue of human rights. The pursuit of economic development alone can not improve human rights situation.

An MP from Bavaria said that the existence of secret concentration camps is shocking. He assured the practitioners and said that the police and constitutional protection committee will guarantee the safety of people living in Bavaria and encouraged practitioners to continue the rescue efforts.
