| A Letter to the Newspaper Keskisuomalainen from the Falun Dafa Association of Finland [17.09.2003] |
"China has signed the Declaration for Human Rights and as yet is still able to almost freely destroy its citizens, even though many human rights associations have been informing the world about its crimes Finland however is remaining silent. By approving the conduct of the governments of these kinds of countries, we are in fact giving support to them when they are committing violations against their own people. We cannot approve these kinds of atrocities, and let them exist in modern society. They should be brought to justice. With righteousness, can we lead by example." |
|
| Swedish Falun Dafa Association writes to Finland Government [12.09.2003] |
"The 610 office uses violence, threats, psychiatric abuse, coercion and blackmail to terrorise Falun Gong practitioners, their family members, friends, and even the general public. Luo Gan runs the 610-office. He is currently being charged in European and U.S. courts for genocide and other crimes categorised as crimes against humanity by the ICC." |

| Letter from the Belgium Falun Dafa Association to the Chinese Embassy in Belgium [26.08.2003] |
"Jiang makes full use of the nations propaganda machine to slander, demonise and fabricate charges against Falun Gong while trying his best to prevent his crimes from being exposed. He incessantly instigates hatred of Falun Gong from innocent people. We really hope that you may conduct yourself well in the campaign against good people and justice, for your state, your nation and also your future. We expect that you will not follow the dictator who committed horrible crimes against the human race." |
|
| Belgium: Falun Gong Practitioners Write to all Members of Parliament about Preparations to File a Lawsuit Against Jiang Zemin [17.08.2003] |
A case against Jiang Zemin is not a political statement. It is a case that fits within the original goals of the Belgian law on genocide: bring those who form a threat to humanity and to Belgian citizens to justice. A case against Jiang Zemin is not a case against China. Neither China nor the Chinese government is responsible for the persecution of more then one hundred million Falun Gong practitioners in the world. It is Jiang Zemin who tries to involve a complete nation and the government of that nation in his personal battle against Falun Gong. |

| Letter from European Falun Dafa Association to the International Criminal Court [22.07.2003] |
"Wed like to inform you about a crime against humanity that will enter its fifth year on July 20th. It concerns the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, the genocide of over 70 million people. This persecution is unprecedented in cruelty and scale. Basic human rights, like freedom of speech and freedom of belief are shamelessly violated. Thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been killed by torture, hundreds of thousands have been sent to labour camps or prison, most of them without a legal trial." |
|
| Ireland: Statement from 7-20 Activities Marking Four Years of Persecution [22.07.2003] |
"In the year 2000 Chinese Dictator Jiang Zemin was labelled a human rights scoundrel by the American branch of Amnesty international. This year the American branch of Amnesty International is supporting the suing of Jiang Zemin for genocide in the US courts. The following is an account of why Jiang Zemin is being sued for genocide and why he was labelled a human rights scoundrel." |
|
| Austria: An Open Letter from Dafa Practitioners to the Chinese Embassy in Austria on the 4th Anniversary of the 7.20Event [19.07.2003] |
"To achieve what Jiang demanded, the Chinese government has irresponsibly inputted a great amount of resources and spread numerous lies over the past four years. However, the results have turned out to be exactly the opposite. Falun Gong didnt disappear in China, but instead it has spread to more than sixty countries around the world and has come to be cherished by many people." |

"We are writing to draw your attention to the arrest and detention in China of a completely peaceful and law-abiding American Falun Dafa practitioner, Dr Charles Li. Dr Li is currently on hunger strike in a Chinese jail and we believe that his life is in danger. We believe that Jiang Zemin could use the SARS epidemic to hide his possible murder. We ask you to use your influence with the Jiang regime to help rescue him urgently." |

| Falun Dafa Association of Guadeloupe (France) Writes to the King of Thailand Appealing for Pirjo Svensson's Freedom [31.05.2003] |
"We write to you to express our sharp concern over the arrest of Mrs. Pirjo Svensson who has been imprisoned in Bangkok for more than 3 weeks now...We are hopeful that His Majesty will help Mrs. Pirjo Svensson be released and permitted to return to her husband, family and friends." |
|
| Letter to the King of Thailand from the French Falun Dafa Association [29.05.2003] |
"Falun Gong teaches the principles of Truth, Compassion and Forbearance. It is peaceful, non-political and represents the best of Chinese culture and values. The former leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, launched the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, and extended it to other countries by fabricating lies to frame Falun Gong; this regime is trying to put pressure on Thailand and viciously have it participate in the persecution of innocent people." |
|
| Letter from Finnish Falun Dafa Association to the King of Thailand [28.05.2003] |
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sweden and the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok has formally contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand. TV, radio, and some major newspapers in Sweden have also reported the incident, and have emphasised that Mrs. Svensson is innocent. At present, the Swedish government is actively negotiating with the Thai government to help Mrs. Svensson regain her freedom." |

|
| Finland: Letter from the Finnish Falun Dafa Association to the Prime Minister of Thailand [27.05.2003] |
For the past four years under Jiang Zemin, the Chinese regime has used every possible means to eliminate Falun Gong both inside and outside China and has then proceeded to cover up the situation with fabricated stories. Jiang and other top officials in China are now facing lawsuits in the US and Europe for committing crimes against humanity, genocide and torture. It is not good for the future of any country to succumb to pressure from a government whose top leaders are committing genocide against their own people. |
|
| A Letter to the King of Thailand from the Nordic Falun Dafa Association [21.05.2003] |
"Jiang Zemin is extending his persecution to your country by spreading fabricated stories and lies about Falun Gong practitioners and pressuring Thailand to persecute innocent people. Currently, with the help of human rights lawyers and legal experts, Falun Gong practitioners in USA and Europe are suing Jiang Zemin and several top Chinese officials, for crimes ranging from torture to genocide. The crimes committed by Jiang Zemin and his Gestapo-like 610 offices are comparable to those committed by Milosevic and Pinochet." |
|
| Letter from Denmark Falun Gong Association Calling for the Release of Pirjo Svensson [12.05.2003] |
"The Swedish Embassy in Bangkok has been requesting an explanation from the Thai authorities but as of yet no reply has been given. The arbitrary and groundless arrest of Mrs. Svensson by the Thai authorities, as well as the Thai Authorities lack of openness and willingness to come forth in this case, is sending out a disturbing message about the true motives and intentions behind the arrest." |
|
| Letter from the Irish Falun Dafa Association to the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs [11.05.2003] |
"It appears that since the Tianamen Square massacre in 1989, the Chinese Government has arranged a deal with the European officials: we will engage in dialogue with you on human rights only if you do not criticize us publicly. If the communist government was filled with honest officials who had a sincere wish to improve a bad human rights record what criticism could they be afraid of?" |
|
| European Falun Dafa Association Urges Thailand's Minister of Foreign Affairs to Secure the Immediate Release of European Dafa Practitioner Mrs. Pirjo Svensson [10.05.2003] |
"The SARS epidemic has shown how little regard the Chinese regime puts on human life and how much they want to protect their power. We hope that the Thai government will not believe in the lies of the Chinese regime and will stand up for the freedom of belief of people throughout the world. We respectfully urge you to pay immediate attention to the arrest and planned deportation of Mrs. Svensson and do everything possible to ensure the immediate restoration of her freedom, which will also be important for the international reputation of Thailand as a country that respects basic freedoms and human rights." |
|
| Letter from the UK Falun Gong Association to the Chairman of the Bills Committee on National Security Regarding Article 23 [07.05.2003] |

"Are you ready to let the people of Hong Kong face state terrorism against Falun Gong, as in Mainland China?
