Sweden: Protest against the CCP's Persecution of Falun Gong at the Chinese Consulate in Goteborg

On the afternoon of June 30th 2008, Sweden was bathed in brilliant sunshine. Falun Gong practitioners who had attended an 'experience sharing conference' arrived at the Chinese Consulate in Goteborg to protest against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)'s persecution of Falun Gong. In the past nine years, the CCP has never stopped its brutal persecution against this group of kind people with their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Further, such brutal violence has been extended to overseas democratic countries.

Mats, who comes from Stockholm, has practised Falun Gong for eleven years. He said, "We arrived at the Chinese Consulate to protest against the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and for the purpose of informing the Swedish people of what's currently happening in China and exposing the CCP's evil to the world. The CCP has spread hatred overseas. In Flushing (New York), the CCP's accomplices attacked Falun Gong practitioners. Something like this would never be allowed in Sweden."

Mats has been to Beijing and Dalian in China twice. He has many Chinese friends, many of whom are Falun Gong practitioners. He is worried about his friends. Mats told the reporter, "I have heard that some of my Falun Gong friends were arrested and imprisoned in the forced labour camps. Some of the imprisoned practitioners had even been persecuted to death. That is why I come here to make a protest."

Mrs. Barbro, a Falun Gong practitioner from Goteborg, said, "I came here to help bring an end to the CCP's persecution. Last month I went to Flushing, where I witnessed violent attacks against Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP's accomplices. The violent scenes were very terrible. Falun Gong is peaceful and teaches people to be good persons. It is hard for average people to figure out why such a good cultivation method is subjected to persecution, because they don't understand the CCP's evil nature."

A Falun Gong practitioner, who had migrated from Korea to Sweden years ago, told the reporter her personal experiences. "When telling people the facts of Falun Gong, I met some Chinese people. They were angry, trying to stop me talking by yelling at me. I was so shocked as to become speechless. I understand the Flushing incidents. The happening here is similar to the Flushing incidents. I realised that the hatred incited by the CCP has been spread to every part of the world, with no exception even to Sweden."

Mr. Li, a Falun Gong practitioner, pointed out, "The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China is bitter and merciless. My elder brother has been illegally imprisoned because he practises Falun Gong. So far over 3,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted to death, some of whom happen to be my acquaintances. We won't stop protesting until the persecution is ended. The Flushing incidents are indicative of the CCP's weakness, because the persecution against 100 million people has also threatened the CCP's ruling power."

Falun Gong practitioners handed out leaflets to passers-by in their efforts to expose the CCP's evil and to call on the Swedish government and people to express concern over the CCP's criminal behaviour in China and overseas.
