Germany: Falun Gong Practitioners Write to MPs Asking for Help to end the Persecution of Falun Gong
2005-11-13
"To avoid domestic criticism and international condemnation against the persecution, recently the Chinese Communist regime has taken a softer approach against Falun Gong in the mass media.
