Bulgarian Falun Gong Association Urges Governments to take Action and Condemn the Persecution
2006-03-14
Various human rights organisations, including the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, who conducted an investigation in China several months ago, addresses the numerous killings, torture and violence against Falun Gong practitioners in Chinese labour camps and prisons. Up until now, more than 2,800 death cases as a result of torture have been confirmed by the Falun Gong Information Centre. It has been determined that the detention of practitioners is not motivated and is arbitrary, without due trials. Practitioners’ families, friends, and supporters are being intimidated, extorted and manipulated, while the detained are violently compelled to sign declarations denouncing their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. -
Parliamentarian Representing Bosnia and Herzegovina: "We need to launch a national awareness campaign about crimes committed in the name of communist ideology"
2006-03-14Justice must be accessible for everyone regardless of national, religious, political or ideological background. Victims of communist terror must obtain moral and material satisfaction.

Judicial bodies must process all communist crimes and violations of human rights to return dignity and justice to victims of communist regimes. -

French Parliamentarian: The communist parties of the twentieth century are tyrannical
2006-03-13Mr Legendre said that the Council of Europe denounced crimes against liberty, the world over, part-session after part-session. Its stated mission is to maintain human rights. How could the Assembly not condemn crimes of communists when it had condemned fascists and Nazis? It is essential to condemn these totalitarian communist regimes. It is important to remember the policies the Communist Party had followed in the terrible 20th century, doing away with elections and imprisoning and executing citizens. The Council of Europe could not remain indifferent to those actions. -

The horrifying fact is that a similar facility is at this very moment in operation in China. The European Falun Gong Information Centre received shocking, detailed information on Wednesday from a Chinese Communist Party insider documenting a concentration camp set up in Shenyang city, Liaoning province, expressly for Falun Gong practitioners. -

I hope that the Assembly will unite in condemning the criminal acts of communism." -
