Mr. A Gui, Chairman of an Austrian human rights organization "Association for Assisting the Persecuted Nations," addressed the rally, and condemned the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, in particular, the atrocity of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. He called upon the Austrian government and other western governments not to be affected by trade negotiations, but to urge the CCP to stop the persecution. He said that his association will always support Falun Gong practitioners.
A Member of Austrian Parliament and Chairperson of the European Green Party, and another Austrian MP sent letters to support Falun Gong practitioners' activities. They stated that the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong violates international treaties and also violates China's Constitution. They said they would continue their effort to seek rights and interests for Falun Gong practitioners.
