Speeches at a Human Rights Watch Sit-in Appealing to German Chancellor (Excerpt)
August 15, 2001
Speech by Mr. Ulrich Delius from the Society for Endangered Human Being, Asia section:
"The human rights situation in China has taken a serious turn for the worse in the year 2001. None of the other religious or minority groups or even opposition groups in China are hunted and persecuted as brutally as the Falun Gong. Since July 1999, China has put into effect numerous edicts to curb and nullify religious freedoms, freedoms once guaranteed under Article 36 of the Chinese Constitution and. We are especially concerned and follow closely the pronouncement by the Chinese rulers to completely and totally rub out and erase Falun Gong from the face of the earth. Every week we receive reports of Falun Gong practitioners who have been murdered while in police custody or during incarceration. The authorities are proceeding with such unbridled brutality that we have to take this situation seriously. We demand that the European Union (EU) will finally react to this circumstance and require an end of the repression against Falun Gong. As representatives of human rights organizations we cannot condone the Falun Gong practitioners' hunger strike, an expression of extreme necessity. We do support the Falun Gong appeal to the German Chancellor, to speak openly against the persecution of Falun Gong and to all in his power to affect the release of all incarcerated practitioners."
