Between June 26 and July 1, 2006, the Tallberg Forum was held in Tallberg, located in central Sweden. Politicians, experts, journalists from many countries and people from various sectors of society got together to talk about the question of global cooperation in a market economy. The discussions this year were specially focused on environmental protection and human rights. This forum provided participants a calm and inspiring environment where they could make conversation and reach common ground, so that better planned and more effective and harmonious development could be achieved.

The Swedish human rights organization SHRIC held a booth outside the forum with the theme, "Supporting Human Rights in China," appealing to all countries and all peace-loving people to focus on the human rights situation in China. China is under the despotic rule of a communist regime and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is committing crimes every day. In order to maintain its power, it uses all kinds of evil means to persecute dissidents and religious believers. The methods it uses are extremely cruel.

Paying attention to China's human rights situation

Four Falun Gong practitioners who were persecuted in China but now live in Sweden told of their own experience of persecution to the people who came to read the posters. There were also a dozen Chinese participants of the forum. Some of them had been poisoned by evil party's lies and violence so much that they almost could not tell the difference between the Party and China. Practitioners told them about their experience of persecution in China and the CCP's crime of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners and suggested that they read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to eliminate the CCP culture from their minds. Most of them accepted a copy of the Nine Commentaries.

On the evening of June 29, there was a human rights seminar.

Outside the human rights seminar, many people attending the conference came to get a copy of the Nine Commentaries. The English copies ran out very quickly. After getting a leaflet, a gentleman in a business suit greeted the practitioner in Chinese. The practitioner asked him if he could speak Chinese. He said just a little and he could also read Chinese. So practitioner gave him a Chinese copy of the Nine Commentaries and told him he would know the true human rights situation in China after reading it. That gentleman was very pleased and kept saying "thank you." He also gave a practitioner his business card and said he supported the Chinese people's human rights and would like to offer help. From his business card, the practitioners learned that he was an important government official.

Early on morning of June 30, on their way to the booth, some practitioners met a young man who could speak Chinese. This young man is a university student from Germany and a participant of this forum. He once studied in the UK and the US and also in China for one year. That is why he could speak very good Chinese. He was very shocked at the practitioners' experience of being persecuted in China and their experience of escaping from China. When he learned of the CCP's practice of organ harvesting from living people, he kept shaking his head. He said, "Before, I only knew that the human rights situation in China is very bad. Many foreign journalists have found it very hard to gather news in China. Now I think I understand." He took a Chinese copy of the Nine Commentaries and said he would study it carefully.

People were shocked at the photos on the posters exposing the CCP's cruel persecution and the stories of people being persecuted. When the visitors learned of the CCP's practice of harvesting organs from living people, they all said, "It is too horrible! How could such horrible and cruel things happen?"

Many people said, "We have known this. We know this from the Internet."

They said to the practitioners, "Thank you for telling us about this. No matter what happens, we won't stop supporting you!"
