Two European Falun Gong practitioners completed their London -- Brussels SOS walk on Thursday, September 13 following a 12-day journey covering the UK, France and Belgium. Practitioners in all three countries joined the walk, which has been very successful in revealing the truth through the media including TV, newspapers and radio stations. They also met government officials, including mayors, and warm hearted people. After they arrived in Brussels--the final destination of the walk--they were met by Baroness Nicholson [Baroness is the female equivalent of Baron, a title of high honour], who is the Vice Chairperson of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy. Another member of the European Parliament and other officials in Brussels also met the walkers in person. They warmly greeted the SOS walkers and offered their firm support for the human rights of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Baroness Nicholson is a strong supporter of human rights and has in the past taken a firm stance against various human rights violations, including the abuse of psychiatry.
