Speech from the Nine Commentaries in Spain
2005-11-21"Since I started to practise Falun Gong in 1994, I experienced a great spiritual and body improvement. Such changes were happening to my fellow practitioners around me as well. I witnessed the benefits it brought to China’s societal morality and human hearts when Falun Gong was quietly but rapidly spreading in China. From Falun Gong I saw a hope for China, which could be regarded as the very last hope." -
Sweden: Folding a Thousand Paper Lotus Flowers
2005-11-05A six year-old girl exercising in the rain. She says, "My mum and I are doing exercises in front of the Chinese Embassy. The persecution has been going on for six years and it is not good.

Danish Citizen Writes to Benxi Forced Labour Camp Calling for the Release of Jiang Renzheng
2005-08-25"It is widely known that Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted by the evilest, most hypocritical and most brutal regime, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP is using methods such as slanderous attacks, violence and physical destruction to eradicate political dissidents and religious followers. The CCP committed crimes of genocide against Chinese people. We surely can never be indifferent to the persecution happening in China. We have to tell all governments and their people that the Communist regime founded on dictatorship has imposed suffering on numerous innocent Chinese people, including Falun Gong practitioners." -
France: President of the French Falun Gong Association Spoke at the Prayer Meeting of Asian Democracy and Peace
2005-08-19So we will continue to expose and condemn the crimes committed by Jiang and the CCP. We have to be aware that all the CCP is capable of is lies and violence. When people who are deceived by it know its evil history, they will no longer be cheated. More and more people stand out to expose its crimes, and more and more people yearn for peace. -
Germany: A Letter from Falun Gong Practitioners to Citizens of Shenyang City and Benxi City
2005-07-21"Recently, three Chinese officials sought political asylum in Australia and announced their intention to defect from the CCP...They were unwilling to tolerate the CCP’s dark and inhumane dictatorship, or to work for the evil against their conscience. They thus decided to forsake darkness and stand by the side of justice. They exposed to the world the Chinese Communist Party’s evil nature, uncovering the detailed facts of the persecution against Falun Gong by the “6-10 Office”, and alleging that 1,000 Chinese spies are operating in Australia and Canada particularly to spy on Falun Gong. The disclosures caused waves of surprise and shock throughout the international community." -
Chinese Student in Switzerland Appeals for the Rescue of his Illegally Imprisoned Mother in China
2005-07-14My name is Wang Xiaoyang and I am a Chinese student studying in Switzerland.

My mother is a Falun Gong practitioner and is the centre of the family, who provides both financial and spiritual support. They are ordinary law-abiding citizens whose only desire is to live a peaceful life. -
Speech: “History illustrates that there is no power greater than that of Truth.”
2005-06-24"Over the last year the Chinese authorities, with their total control of virtually all media outlets, have instructed that no reference should be made to Falun Gong persecution, in order to give the impression that the practice is no longer seen as a problem and may be a thing of the past. Behind the scenes, however, in the last six months the persecution has intensified with a greater number of verified deaths after torture than ever before: some fifty new provincial centres have been set up for this purpose." -
Letter from German Falun Gong practitioners to Citizens in Shenyang and Benxi
2005-06-22The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China is so terrible that it has shocked people all over the world. The German Government had never expected that Jiang Renzhang would be locked up in a labour camp as soon as he went back to China. At present, human rights organisations in Germany, the United Nations, the media and the German people are calling on the German Government to rescue Jiang Renzheng back to Germany. -

Open Letter to the Singapore Consul in Austria
2005-05-12A few days ago, only authorities in China would punish people for distributing these materials. Unfortunately, Singapore's justice system is following China’s footsteps by punishing people for speaking the truth. We appeal for your help, to call upon the government of Singapore to reverse this decision and handle this case justly in accordance with the law. No government should sacrifice freedoms and liberty for the mere purpose of currying favour with the Communist regime in Beijing. Any short-term benefits such actions would reap are vastly overshadowed by the damage done to Singapore's rule of law, its reputation in the international community and the well-being of its people. -
Lawyer Defending Falun Gong Practitioners’ Rights Falls Victim to the Persecution in China
2005-05-10It is indeed surprising that a Chinese lawyer would even accept the defence of Falun Gong practitioners, thus challenging the party, the government, the judicial courts and the police of a country that routinely violates the human rights of its citizens. On February 23rd 2005, several cadres of the Shanghai Justice Ministry broke into the lawyer’s office and confiscated his computer and all of the files of his twenty year practice. Police officers are monitoring his home around the clock and his home phone is being answered by an answering machine; the Shanghai Justice Ministry has taken away his license and neither his family nor his friends have been able to contact him since March 10th. -
Norwegian Practitioners Support Practitioners in Singapore who were Jailed for Spreading Information about the Persecution
2005-05-08When news reached Norway that two female practitioners in Singapore had been jailed for spreading information about the six-year brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China, local practitioners wanted to help. So far, the Nordic Association has sent a letter to the Singapore Consulate in Oslo. Two practitioners went to the office of the consulate to express their concern and to deliver a letter from the Norwegian Association, together with information about Falun Gong and the persecution, information of the same kind that the accused women had spread in Singapore. They had a good conversation with a representative of the consulate who stayed after working hours to be informed. -
