Letter from the European Falun Dafa Association to the Hong Kong Authorities
2002-08-17"The 16 Falun Gong practitioners did nothing wrong. The only thing they obstructed was Jiang Zemin's killing order. They are heroes because they used peaceful means to appeal for justice for millions of good Chinese citizens persecuted in China. Any statement about this appeal that falls short of acknowledging its righteousness and selflessness is unjust. We hope that you will recognise this mistake and mitigate the enormous loss Hong Kong has already incurred. For the sake of the future of Hong Kong and its people, we urge you to respect the will of its people and reverse this verdict." -

As an important member of the Hong Kong government you may wish to consider the international impact of the trial on the long-term development of Hong Kong. We hope that you will reverse the verdict as soon as possible and return Hong Kong to the rule of law." -
