Letter of Support from Czech Parliament Member: “I Express My Unreserved Support”
2001-12-06I severely criticise the approach of the Chinese government, which has evoked an open repression toward the people who adhere to Falun Gong. From my personal experience I know the practices of a totalitarian power and therefore I am able to feel what is it like to be in a position of all those tortured and discriminated against in China. -

Member of the Knesset [Israel Parliament], Yossi Sarid, Condemns the Brutal Persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China
2001-11-24What your regime is doing is unacceptable because all human beings have the basic right to try to improve themselves according to whatever path they choose, there is simply no way to justify such a persecution. You have chosen to change, by brute force using the most cruel methods imaginable, the hearts and minds of millions of your own citizens - no decent human being can accept this. Even your worst claims against the people of Falun Gong can not possibly justify such a persecution. -
Human rights meeting between the European Parliament and China: European Parliament Human Rights Official called for justice, while the Chinese delegates responded by being rude, anxious and nervous.
2001-11-24The way in which the Chinese delegates reacted told us of the terrible attitude they hold when dealing with Falun Gong issues and Falun Gong practitioners. Their funny reactions only proved to us Europeans that they were afraid of us mentioning Falun Gong issues, that they were afraid of explaining the persecution on Falun Gong. Because they know that the more they try to cover up, the more loop holes they would expose, and therefore the more truth of the persecution would be exposed. -
