(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of February 11, 2004, the French Falun Dafa Association held a press conference in Strasbourg to let the local media know the facts about the behavior of the French police and their irrational arrest and detention of Falun Gong practitioners on the streets of Paris. They appealed to the public to pay attention to this serious matter, which revealed how Jiang's followers extend their persecution of Falun Gong to western society.

In an urgent appeal to the reporters at the press conference to stand up for an end to this cruel persecution and the killing of innocent people in China, renowned Australian artist Zhang Cuiying talked about her experiences of being spiritually persecuted and cruelly tortured in a Chinese labor camp for eight months. Mrs. Zhang said, "Due to the small minority taking their own course of action in the Chinese Government, Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted for four years. Jiang's faction has adopted a strategy in which they offer economic incentives to spread lies and hatred against Falun Gong to western societies. Examples of their extension of the persecution of Falun Gong to overseas countries include the incidents in Germany and in Iceland several years ago and the irrational imprisonment of Falun Gong practitioners by the French police last week. I appeal to kindhearted people to work together so that the chief offender, Jiang Zemin, can be dealt with according to the law."

Spokesperson of the French Falun Gong Association Mrs. Dominique talked about Dafa practitioners' belief in "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Tolerance" and the practice's miraculous effects on curing illnesses and improving health. She also described the truth about Falun Gong practitioners being cruelly persecuted in China. The reporters paid close attention and raised certain questions that western society is concerned about.
