Jiang Regime's Ruthless Persecution of Female Falun Gong Practitioners Condemned at the UN Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (Photo)
(Clearwisdom.net, August 9, 2003) Falun Dafa Information Center (Chinese
version), August 6 - On August 4, 2003, in Conference Room XVIII of the Palais
des Nations, United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG), the U.N. Sub-Commission on
the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights was holding its 55th
session, the theme of which was: "Women and Human Rights." During this
session, a Falun Gong practitioner delivered a special topic speech regarding
the Jiang regime's ruthless persecution of female Falun Gong practitioners. Because it was the last speech, some attendees were already about to leave,
but when the Falun Gong practitioner started relating the facts about how the
Jiang regime brutally persecutes female Falun Gong practitioners, the atmosphere
in the conference room suddenly became dignified and quiet. Representatives
listened to the speech with their full attention until the end. The fact that
female Falun Gong practitioners have been bearing tremendous hardships in order
to persist in their belief deeply moved most representatives' hearts. After the
speech, many representatives came up to the practitioner's seat and expressed
their admiration and greetings for her speech. They also expressed their support
for Falun Gong practitioners' four-year peaceful and rational actions. The
several dozen copies of the English version of the speech that the practitioner
brought with her, including her own copy, were instantly taken by the attendees.
One representative waited there for a long time and wanted to obtain a copy of
the English version, but was very disappointed over not being able to get one.
In the end, he took a copy of the French version. The 55th Session Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of
Human Rights will convene for 3 weeks and conclude on August 15. This was the
second speech given by Falun Gong practitioners in this sub-commission session.
On July 28, a representative of Falun Gong practitioners delivered a speech
regarding the lawsuit against Jiang Zemin in the judicatory special topic group.
