  • Ukraine: Promoting Falun Gong in Chernigov City

    Nobody refused to accept the newspaper; a few people even ran to me to ask for some. They were shouting “Falun Gong” on their way to me; they said you would know what Falun Gong really is simply by reading the newspapers. Some people also greeted Master. Because I didn’t take many of the information booklets with me, everyone who got one said they would read from the beginning to the end, and then pass it on to others.
  • Switzerland: A Letter from the Swiss Falun Gong Association to the Swiss Federation President and Minister of the Economy.

    We think that this shooting incident is an act of terrorism. We feel profoundly shocked by the brutal methods employed by the Jiang group to eradicate Falun Gong inside and outside China. In March, 2002, Jiang Zemin issued an order to shoot at Falun Gong practitioners. However, South Africa is not part of China. This shooting incident indicates that the Jiang group employed hired gunmen to attack Falun Gong practitioners, just like China used money to buy the votes of poor nations during the UN Commission on Human Rights Meeting.

  • July 20th Press Statement from the Belgian Falun Gong Association

    "The whole of China is turned into a tool to implement Jiang's personal vicious will and exterminate belief in 'truth-compassion-tolerance', which are the main principles of Falun Gong. Inhumane brainwashing, torture, various ill-treatments, murder, hate propaganda, etc.; all evil deeds throughout history, are used against innocent Falun Gong practitioners, their families and friends. Millions of innocent people are victims."
  • Germany: Activities in Bremen on World Anti-Torture Day

    Unable to find our exhibition immediately, we wandered in the city centre, which was full of visitors. No matter where we went, everyone we met looked at the display board and it really became a mobile information desk. We were very happy to see so many German people supporting us. They smiled at us and showed their sympathy. I felt that this warm sympathy to Falun Gong practitioners persecuted in China accompanied us wherever we went.
