  • Letter to French President Jacques Chirac from the French Falun Dafa Association

    "For seven years now, over 3.000 practitioners of Falun Gong have been identified as being tortured to death by the notorious “610 office” which commits crime with impunity. Thousands are still detained in psychiatric hospitals where they are tortured, hundred of thousands are still in forced labour camps where they are used as free labour while being tortured.
