The World Supports Falun Dafa

Falun Gong is an exercise and meditation practice enjoyed by millions around the world. For the past two years the contrast between the peaceful actions of Falun Gong and the evil destruction from the Chinese Government has become blatantly apparent. Governments and citizens world-wide have grown to respect and support Falun Gong and condemn the Chinese president for his illegal crackdown where hundreds of innocent Falun Gong practitioners have died from torture in police custody.

"Falun Dafa has as its aim the refinement of both the mind and the body, using the ides of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. These are certainly principles which resonate with many Canadians."

Herb Gray Deputy Prime Minister of Canada

á

" It must stop. The arbitrary detentions, unfair trials, torture and deaths resulting from this campaign must come to an end. It will be too late for...Falun Gong followers who have died as a result of their beliefs. It is not too late for the many thousands who remain in detention. It is time for the Chinese government to ensure that the basic rights of Falun Gong practitioners are upheld."

Alex Neve, Secretary General, Amnesty International of Canada

á

"As we have come to know the work of Falun Gong our respect has grown, and we find this brutal and ruthless and bloody suppression of Falun Gong practitioners in China appalling, unacceptable, reprehensible..."

Thomas Lantos, U.S. Congressman, Co-Chair Congressional Human Rights Caucus

á

"I deplore the persecution and imprisonment of Falun Gong practitioners simply because of their beliefs and practices, and we urge our Governments...to make continuous representations to the Government of the PRC, to allow Falun Gong practitioners to conduct their peaceful activities without interference or hindrance."

The Right Honorable Michael Howard QC MP, Former UK Home Secretary

á

"It is not China here... Chinese diplomats' pressure and interference to Russian practitioners is a serious interference of the internal affairs of Russia, and has gone beyond the limit and scope of diplomatic conduct... I doubt the legitimacy of the Chinese government's persecution of this spiritual movement very much."

Mr. S. A. Kovaliov, Russian Parliamentarian and Chair of the Human Rights Commission of Duma

á

"The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is a brutal human rights violation, and it has recently worsened."

German Parliament

á

"France always strongly condemns China's persecution of Falun Gong, in which Falun Gong practitioners can be the victims of such human rights violation actions. She and her European country fellows are very concerned about the new round of intensified persecution since last autumn... We promise that the French government will continue to make an effort in calling on the Chinese government to respect all the Chinese citizens' basic freedoms.

"Falun Dafa operated within New Zealand and no problems had been experienced with it. I will continue to urge the Chinese leadership to allow Falun Dafa followers to practice their movement without restrictions."

Honorable Phil Goff, New Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade
