Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott, a Vice-President of the European Parliament embarked on a three-day "journey of exploring the truth" in mainland China that started on May 21. Mr. McMillan-Scott met with some Falun Gong practitioners in Beijing to understand more truth of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. He also met with many diplomats, experts, scholars, NGOs and individuals.

Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott

In 1996, Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott was assigned by the European Parliament as a special investigator to investigate diplomatic affairs and report on the strategic relationship of the European Parliament and the CCP. Mr. McMillan-Scott was surprised that the Chinese communist regime is still the same as 10 years ago. Mr. McMillan-Scott said, "Ten years later, I am very sad to submit this report. The Chinese communist regime is still a system of atrocity, despotism, and bigotry. There is no freedom of speech, freedom of press is limited and freedom of religion is seriously deprived. However, in the process of revolution of politics and society, frankly speaking, this is negligible."

After meeting with European Parliament representatives, including some diplomats, experts, NGOs and some individuals, Mr. McMillan-Scott said the only conclusion he could draw is that: The CCP is a system of "atrocity, despotism and bigotry".

Mr. McMillan-Scott was very interested in meeting Falun Gong practitioners because he believes Falun Gong is too important to China to be neglected. Mr. McMillan-Scott said, "When they told me about their experiences, I felt very sad, not only for them, but also for each and every religious group persecuted by the Chinese communist regime." He believes that the prevailing movement of renouncing the CCP is very important to China's future development.

After his three-day investigation in mainland China, Mr. McMillan-Scott arrived in Hong Kong at noon on May 24 and stated in a news conference that the Chinese communist regime has not changed in the past decade. He described it as "a system of atrocity, despotism, and bigotry." In addition to supporting withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in mainland China, he affirmed that the communist regime must disintegrate. The Vice-President hopes 100 percent of the CCP's members will withdraw from the Party because he believes a couple of million people is not enough.

Due to pressure from Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Malaysian Corporation Business Committee sued nine directors of Falun Dafa Research Association. The court hearing was scheduled on May 22 and 23. However, the prosecutor didn't report to court on the first day, so the Judge dismissed the case. Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference on the second day to announce the result.

Falun Gong spokesperson Mr. Wu Wenqiang said that they believed it was the CCP that pressured Malaysian Corporation Affair Committee to sue Falun Gong practitioners. This has been one of many cases of harassment of Falun Gong practitioners in Malaysia in the past few years. The fact that the prosecutor didn't to go to the court indicates that they have learned the truth and decided not to bow to CCP pressure to persecute Falun Gong.

Mr. Wu said that speaking out for the truth cannot be interfered with in Malaysia. Falun Gong practitioners have continuously clarified truth to government officials and urged them not to become CCP accomplices. Mr. Wu said he was happy to see the Malaysian government choose to be on the side of justice for Falun Gong. He also said that the practitioners will continue clarify truth to all walks of society, including the judicial system.

Practitioners also exposed the organ-harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners in China. Many policemen from different areas attended the press conference and they asked for more information about the CCP's organ harvesting crimes.

After the press conference, practitioners played a short video program. The dramatic contrast of Falun Gong practitioners' compassion and the CCP's viciousness moved many people to tears.

Bo Xilai, a main perpetrator of the persecution of Falun Gong in China, visited Korea as Chinese Minister of Commerce on May 25, 2006. The local Falun Dafa Association held a press conference in front of his hotel in Seoul to condemn Bo's crimes.

Falun Gong practitioners hold a press conference to condemn Bo Xilai's crimes in the persecution of Falun Gong.

Afraid of being exposed, Bo didn't have courage to enter the hotel through the front door where the press conference was held. He used a side door instead. The press conference started following his entrance. Media reporters, human right groups and Falun Gong practitioners attended the conference.

Ms. Zhang, host of the conference, exposed Bo's brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China and lawsuits against Bo around the world. She stressed the secret mass harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners around the China.

On behalf of Falun Gong practitioners in Korea, Mr. Cui read a statement condemning and listing Bo's bloody crimes against innocent Falun Gong practitioners since 1999. The statement called Bo's visit a shame to Korean people. Bo should leave Korea.

During the press conference, tourists from foreign countries were shocked to learn Bo's crimes from Falun Gong practitioners' large banners. Bus passengers waved at Falun Gong practitioners to show their support. Those who got flyers were shocked at such brutality.
