Swedish Newspaper highlights the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners and Human Rights Abuses in China


By a Clearharmony reporter

(Clearwisdom.net) On October the 26th 2004, Nerikes Allehanda, a daily newspaper in the city of Örebro in southern Sweden, published a leading article to highlight the persecution and human rights abuses currently taking place against Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Örebro in Sweden and Yantai in Shandong, China are sister cities. The article stated that Member of Swedish Parliament Mr. Sten Tolgfor demanded that the local government of Örebro County clarifies how the human rights issues are being handled during their meetings with representatives from their sister city, Yantai. Mr. Tolgfor stressed that it is inexcusable to just honor the economic prospects of China and neglect the human rights abuses.

More specifically, the newspaper exposed that more than 20 people are being locked up in a mental clinic in Yantai just because they practice Falun Gong. The article went on to detail the case of Zhao Jinhua, a 42 year old female Falun Gong practitioner who was brutally beaten to death.
