• Support Letter from Amnesty International in Czech Republic

  2007-01-23
  "For some time now, Amnesty has been bringing attention to the persecution of followers of the Falun Gong movement in China and has devoted several reports to that issue. In its report, presented to the UN during the election of members for the Human Rights Council, Amnesty stated: “The suppression of Falun Gong spiritual movement intensified after February 2005. Many Falun Gong practitioners are allegedly detained and in serious danger of torture and mal-treatment.” Amnesty is also greatly alarmed by the media campaign of slander by the Chinese regime, which is apt to incite hatred against Falun Gong adherents."

• Support for Rally against CCP Organ Harvesting from Director of Czech NGO The Civil Institute

  2007-01-22
  "Dare we say that the Chinese regime changed in those seventeen years? Not at all. It is not an authoritarian regime, that only abuses its political power and does not force other aspects of society under its state control. It is a totalitarian regime, that does not tolerate even the smallest part to be independent of the state control. That is why even an apolitical Falun Gong spiritual movement is heartlessly persecuted, as well as the independent Christians. The Laogai prison camps are fully comparable with the Nazi concentration camps or the Soviet gulags."

The speech evoked in me horror and a deep set disgust about your inhuman and degrading actions against Chinese citizens."

• MEP Raises Questions about Human Rights Lawyer Imprisoned for Speaking out for Falun Gong

  2006-12-30
  "A court in Beijing recently found lawyer Gao Zhisheng guilty of subversion. Gao is an active human rights attorney.
