Practitioners Receive Support at the UK Labour Party Conference

Ministers, MP's, VIP's, local Councillors, the Media and many hundreds of people from all walks of life and from all over the UK came to the conference. It is usually very difficult to have personal contact with high level Government Ministers in the UK, so the Conference gave Falun Dafa practitioners the rare chance to meet them and directly talk with them about the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China.

The Conference was held over a period of five days. During these five days practitioners gave out leaflets to a large number of attendees. Several practitioners also had the opportunity to speak to many MP’s about the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China including Robin Cook MP, Leader of the House of Commons, (former Foreign Secretary) and Dr Dennis McShane MP who had just recently returned from a visit to Beijing. Both MP’s gave positive support, Mr. Cook replied, "I will continue pressing the Chinese Government to stop the persecution and resolve things peacefully" and Dr. Dennis McShane said that he had put increased pressure on the Chinese government to stop the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners and condemned China’s human rights violations.
