Italy: The Murderers of Gao Rongrong Must be Brought to Justice

After hearing that Gao Rongrong has been cruelly killed by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials, Falun Gong practitioners in Italy went to the Chinese Consulate to peacefully appeal and demand that the murderers be brought to justice.

On Monday 27th June, the Chinese Consulate opened for official business. Lots of Chinese people came and went and they all stopped to look at the Falun Gong practitioners’ exhibition boards. Many of them expressed their indignation at the sinister behaviour and terrible human rights abuses of the CCP. One man who came to the Consulate said that he had seen the news on TV: “I have never expected that the CCP would be as vicious as that.” Some others expressed that it is already a long time since the Chinese people saw through the evil party and withdrew from the party in their hearts: “We will withdraw from all its organisations on the Internet tomorrow.”

On the same evening, Mr. Forbice from the Italian National Broadcasting Station also aired the news of Gao Rongrong being killed on his TV programme. In emails he sent to practitioners, Mr. Forbice said, “I will broadcast the horrible news given by you tonight.” Since November 2004, in the programme he presides over, he has launched a feature condemning the abuses of human rights happening in China, the title of which is “China is far away from us.” Forty-five congressmen, numerous celebrities in both culture and literature and 345,000 Italians have already signed their names in support of the programme and Mr. Forbice.
