The Dafa practitioner was asked by the judge to explain why she had filed the lawsuit.

A Swedish Practitioner Wrote to the President of France to Call for the Upholding of Falun Gong Practitioners' Human Rights
2004-02-08"30 Falun Gong practitioners were detained (some were even handcuffed) in Paris during January 24-27 2004. Some were handing out leaflets to inform about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Some just quietly watched the Chinese parade, and because they wore yellow scarves or clothes with the words “Falun Gong” or “Falun Dafa” they were treated as criminals by French police. Some of them didn't even wear clothes, scarves, or badges of this kind. These actions by the French police against peaceful European citizens are not only unfair, but also against human rights and democracy." -
