Letters from Dafa Associations

  • Statement by the Falun Gong Association of the Czech Republic

    "Every step made by the Czech Government can become a historic moment when the Government leans either toward the defence of human rights or toward “quiet acquiescence” with the abuse. Actually, human rights and trade with China are tightly connected and that is why we think that upholding human rights is a necessary prerequisite to a successful realisation of all projects with China which we may wish to commit ourselves to undertake."
  • Speech by Chairman of the European Falun Dafa Association outside the UNHRC in Geneva

    "There is ample evidence and no doubt that a planned and deliberate policy of elimination has been directed at tens of millions of innocent people in China. Gross human rights violations have been committed against these people simply because they believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The criminal acts seek to destroy everything that is positive and good in our world and they seek to take away human beings’ fundamental rights to improve themselves physically, morally and spiritually."
  • Spanish Falun Gong Practitioners Deliver a Letter to the French Ambassador in Spain

    "Currently the verified number of deaths of Falun Gong practitioners is almost nine hundred, but the real death toll is far more than that. Over 200,000 people are being unlawfully detained; over one hundred million people are being made victims of this large-scale persecution. So far the persecution has lasted for four and a half years and is still continuing. Many renowned lawyers around the world came to an agreement that this is the largest and most evil genocide ever since World War II."
  • An Open Letter to the French President from the German Falun Dafa Association

    "In China, through covering up the facts and spreading lies, the persecution of Falun Gong has lasted for over four years. Until now, over nine hundred innocent Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured to death. We think that a country like France should not support this kind of persecution. We hope you can stand up, based on upholding human rights, clarify the facts about the Paris incident to people and enable France to continue to maintain the traditional culture of believing in justice and freedom."
  • Nordic Falun Dafa Association Writes to the President of France

    "We are deeply alarmed by reports that the French police have harassed and detained at least 50 Falun Gong practitioners in the Champs-Elysées area during the Chinese New Year celebrations in Paris this year for peacefully distributing Falun Gong information material, or merely for wearing yellow clothes...We are also shocked to learn that some of those people had been handcuffed like criminals. No proper reason was given for their arrest only irrational remarks like, “yellow is forbidden today.” The unreasonable action by the French authorities violates the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms."
  • Italy: A Letter from the Italian Falun Dafa Association to the French Consulate

    "The Italian Falun Dafa Association is sorry to hear that Falun Gong practitioners were recently unreasonably arrested and imprisoned in Paris. We would like to let you know the offensive methods used by the French police. As far as we know, these Falun Gong practitioners are from different countries and did nothing against the law. They were detained merely because they wore clothes printed with the characters of Falun Dafa or because they were together with Falun Gong practitioners. We express our concern at such actions that go against human rights."
  • Austrian Faun Dafa Association Writes to the President of France

    "We have deep respect to your great nation for its wonderful culture and its principles, therefore we urge you to apologise for and to take action to rectify this unjust behaviour, so that something like this can never occur again in France. We hope you can also make efforts together with other countries and people to help the millions of people in China who are right now suffering the persecution of Falun Dafa. Please help to end this persecution."
  • Denmark Falun Dafa Association Writes to the Ambassador of France about Human Rights in Paris

    "As you may be well aware of by now the French authorities displayed a very discriminating and harsh stance towards Falun Gong practitioners in regard to the French Association of Falun Gong’s participation in the New Year parade. However, the discrimination against us was not limited to the exclusion from the festivities; much more serious than that was the implemented policy of eliminating the physical presence of Falun Gong practitioners in areas visited by the Chinese authorities."
  • Belgian Falun Dafa Association Writes to the Mayor of Brussels

    "All over Europe, and also in Brussels, police officers and city officials know that wherever Falun Dafa practitioners come to demonstrate, it is sure that no problems, violence or any other disturbance will arise. However, it is also known that wherever Falun Dafa practitioners come to expose the persecution, Chinese ‘officials’ will come to cause trouble, trying to influence local police and city officials by spreading hate propaganda against Falun Dafa."
  • European Falun Dafa Association Writes to the President of France

    "We were shocked to learn that a Western, democratic country founded on the principles of “Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite” so blatantly violated the human rights of peaceful, non-political citizens and visitors. It has been widely reported that during Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to France, excessive and unreasonable measures were used to intimidate and harass practitioners of Falun Gong. Both Chinese and Western practitioners were arrested, simply because they wore yellow scarves or yellow sweaters with the words of "Falun Gong" or "Zhen Shan Ren"."
  • Falun Gong Practitioners Ask the European Court of Human Rights to Hear Their Call for Justice

    "We thank everybody who has supported this case thus far, and have joined our call for justice. We are grateful to the Belgian government for allowing the possibility of starting this procedure in front of the European Court. Our confidence in the legal system is firm and it is for this reason that we continue to insist on wishing to defend our case in front of a Belgian judge. Martin Luther King once said that ‘Justice is indivisible. A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’ and that ‘a man can only be a man if he can stand up for what he believes in'."
  • Finland: Many People learn the Truth of the Persecution at a Concert in Helsinki

    Almost 2000 flyers were distributed and nearly everyone who passed by the Friends of Falun Gong booth accepted one. During the concert, whilst the audience was listening to the music, people who worked at the concert hall, security guards, vendors etc, all came to find out more.
  • A Letter to the Newspaper “Keskisuomalainen” from the Falun Dafa Association of Finland

    "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

    "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

    "Jiang makes full use of the nation’s 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."
