Swedish Falun Dafa Association Writes to Government of Finland
8th September 2003 Ref: Request for immediate attention to Lou Gan's visit to
Finland Dear Sir, Kindly allow me to bring to your attention the fact that the
visiting member of the Chinese Government's Politburo Standing Committee, Luo
Gan, is also the chief of the infamous 610-office, a Gestapo-like organization
with many branches that penetrates every level of the Chinese government as well
as every sector of the Chinese society. The 610 office uses violence, threats, psychiatric abuse,
coercion and blackmail to terrorize Falun Gong practitioners, their family
members, friends, and even the general public. Luo Gan runs the 610-office. He
is currently being charged in European and U.S. courts for genocide and other
crimes categorized as crimes against humanity by the ICC. A UN Special Rapporteur states that the behavior and conduct
of Lou Gan, Li Lanqing (another leading official of 610-office) and Jiang Zemin
fit the description of state terrorism, defined as bureaucratized terror that
intimidates, injures and abuses whole groups, sometimes even whole nations, and
it is the type of terrorism that throughout history and at present produces the
most harm. Please be assured that Falun Gong practitioners are neither
political nor against the Chinese government. Our practice, also known as Falun
Dafa, is a traditional health and spiritual improvement method appreciated by
100 million Chinese people. It is also appreciated by people in more than 50
countries including Finland. What we want is to practice our belief in peace,
which has been observed by the whole world during the last 4 years of
persecution. Whatever Falun Gong practitioners do, it is always done in
peaceful ways because we cherish the principles of
Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. Kindly consider our letter as information
that you may have missed. In the future, we will do better in providing you with
updates about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Meanwhile
please bring up this issue with the visiting Chinese official. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Representative of the Swedish Falun Dafa Association
Mr. Erkki Tuomioja
Minister for Foreign Affairs
