Switzerland: Letter to Member of Parliament, Micheline Calmy-Rey

Member of Parliament Micheline Calmy-Rey

October 22nd, 2006

Dear Ms. Calmy-Rey,

I’m putting all of my hopes in you because even the Swiss press has kept silent about a terrible and sad topic. Are they afraid?

In early September, I received a flyer called “Falun Gong Blickpunkt” (“Falun Gong in Focus”) when walking on the street in the city of Biel. Never before did I read anything in the popular press about the persecution of this spiritual movement.

After having read “Falun Gong Blickpunkt”, I am starting to really wonder why this is the case. I think I’ve been deprived of important information. The reports have been disturbing me for days because they were talking about some of the most terrible events imaginable: The horror of torture and secret death camps where organs are removed from people!

Where have the tens of thousands Falun Gong practitioners who have been missing for years gone? Are there places where organs are removed from living victims? Are there political prisoners in extermination camps?

I ask the EDA [the Swiss Foreign Ministry] for answers to these urgent questions.

I ask you to use your influence with the Chinese government to make sure that an end is put to these terrible practices, that people are saved and that the innocently imprisoned detainees are released from camps and military hospitals.

Best regards,

Alexander from Berne
