Ms. Francoise Hostalier stated that Falun Gong practitioners are a peaceful group that are safeguarding human values, principles that she agrees with. She believes that all French democratic people should safeguard freedom, and especially, politicians and members of the National Assembly should voice strong support for those groups being persecuted.

Mr. Wu Baozhang narrated his observation that Falun Gong has spread widely during the practitioners' peaceful resistance of the CCP's ten-year brutal persecution. He noted that practitioners have exposed the CCP's crimes against humanity in the persecution of Falun Gong. They have filed a lawsuit against the main culprits of the persecution, and established three media outlets. The publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, which exposes the CCP's evil nature, has led to a large number of CCP members quitting the CCP and its affiliated organisations. Shen Yun Performing Arts, composed of Falun Gong practitioners, promotes traditional Chinese culture around the world.

Mr. Tang of the French Falun Dafa Association gave a speech exposing the CCP's unlawful persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, which stems from the CCP's jealousy and tyranny. He also narrated the journey of Falun Gong practitioners in peacefully protesting the CCP's persecution, and the wide spread of Falun Gong around the world.

That evening, French TV 5 covered the press conference and the series of events marking the practitioners' peaceful resistance of the ten-year persecution.
