Germany: Speech from Human Rights Day in Bremen
2004-12-26"It is now twelve years since Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, came to the public. It is five years since the persecution started.

The Chinese media disseminates fabricated stories to suppress information about this groundless persecution. We even find that the German media repeats the stories and distorted subject matter about Falun Gong, disseminated by the Chinese regime. I’m sad to say that this is the same regime that perpetrates the persecution." -

Radio France Internationale Reports on Falun Gong Lawsuits Against Senior Chinese Officials
