Swiss NGO Writes to Hong Kong Authorities about Appeal of 15 Falun Gong Practitioners
2003-09-03"ACAT-Switzerland has been attentively observing the last year’s trial against [fifteen] Falun Gong practitioners in Hong Kong, among them four Swiss nationals...With indignation we learned that all defendants were found guilty in August 2002. The charges brought against them don’t have any legal foundation...We therefore consider the August 2002 judgement arbitrary and support the defendants’ appeal on the case. We therefore urge the court dealing with the appeal in the next days to appreciate the facts and evidences strictly from the point of view of the Hong Kong legislation and to acquit the defendants of all charges."
