The Vice Prime Minister of Sweden Personally Attends SOS Walkers' Press Conference in Stockholm


The SOS-march reached Stockholm today. Seven Falun Gong-practitioners walked the whole way from Falun to Stockholm, about 250 kilometers, and more have participated parts of the way. Towards the end of the march, 35 practitioners participated. One marcher was a non-practitioner who walked for two days with us! We had good media coverage. Four different TV-stations, some of the big newspapers and also some radio channels were there. In Stockholm City at "Mynttorget," three politicians gave us their support, among them the Vice Prime Minister of Sweden, Lena Hjelm-Vallén, who received our open letter to Prime minister G ran Persson and also our petition with more than 9000 signatures.

After receiving them she gave a short speech:

"I just want to say, on behalf of the Swedish government, that it is with great respect that I receive this petition. Respect for your manifestation and of course (for) the march that you've done. This will further strengthen us in the Swedish government to take the necessary steps to make China follow human rights. It is unfortunately a very miserable situation concerning the respect for human rights in China, and we're in need from the Swedish government and all other governments who guard human rights, we need to do more and you inspire us to do so.

Thank you very much."
