  • Belgium: Telling the Thai Embassy about the Illegal Imprisonment of Pirjo Svensson

    The Embassy secretary said that she had asked for an explanation behind Mrs. Svensson’s arrest and detention, but the government had not replied.

  • Letter to the King of Thailand from the French Falun Dafa Association

    "Falun Gong teaches the principles of Truth, Compassion and Forbearance. It is peaceful, non-political and represents the best of Chinese culture and values. The former leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, launched the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, and extended it to other countries by fabricating lies to frame Falun Gong; this regime is trying to put pressure on Thailand and viciously have it participate in the persecution of innocent people."

  • Finland: Letter from the Finnish Falun Dafa Association to the Prime Minister of Thailand

    For the past four years under Jiang Zemin, the Chinese regime has used every possible means to ‘eliminate’ Falun Gong both inside and outside China and has then proceeded to cover up the situation with fabricated stories. Jiang and other top officials in China are now facing lawsuits in the US and Europe for committing crimes against humanity, genocide and torture. It is not good for the future of any country to succumb to pressure from a government whose top leaders are committing genocide against their own people.

  • A Letter to the King of Thailand from the Nordic Falun Dafa Association

    "Jiang Zemin is extending his persecution to your country by spreading fabricated stories and lies about Falun Gong practitioners and pressuring Thailand to persecute innocent people. Currently, with the help of human rights lawyers and legal experts, Falun Gong practitioners in USA and Europe are suing Jiang Zemin and several top Chinese officials, for crimes ranging from torture to genocide. The crimes committed by Jiang Zemin and his Gestapo-like 610 offices are comparable to those committed by Milosevic and Pinochet."
