December 10th was the 2002 International Human Rights Day. The Italian branch of Amnesty
International and the Italy-Tibet League held a seminar to discuss human rights issues in Tibet.
Dafa practitioners in Milan attended this seminar with materials to clarify the truth about Jiang's
persecution of Falun Dafa in China.
Before the seminar, Dafa practitioners talked with the seminar organiser and told him about the
cruel persecution of Falun Gong in China and Jiang's intention to export his terror tactics to Hong
Kong by establishing Article 23. The seminar organiser expressed his support for the practitioners'
attempts to bring an end to this persecution and expressed his regards for the practitioners during
his opening speech.
After the seminar, the Chief of Amnesty International in Italy and the Chief of the Italy-Tibet
League clearly understood the persecution of Dafa in China. Dafa practitioners gave them the
condemnation of Article 23 composed by the Hong Kong branch of Amnesty International. They both
expressed their concern and said that they would pay attention to this. Many of the other
representatives at the seminar also expressed their interest and took material that explained more
about the true nature of Falun Gong.
