Media Article from Germany: Activity Held for Human Rights - Collecting Signatures in Downtown Uelzen


(Clearwisdom.net) On February 15, 2004, Uelzen Advertisement News reported a human rights activity organized by Falun Gong practitioners, below is the English translation of this report:

Falun Gong practitioners caught people's attention in downtown Uelzen on Saturday February the 14th. Through this activity, B.G. and other enthusiastic attendants wanted to draw the public's attention to the ongoing human rights infringements in China. Falun Gong is a peaceful cultivation practice based on truthfulness, benevolence and forbearance. In the past, Falun Gong was passed down from master to student. Its wide spread began in 1992. Within a few years, more than one hundred million people started practicing Falun Gong in China alone.

B.G. said, "Owing to the Chinese government's fear of group activities, Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted in China." She explained the situation of a Chinese lady named Xiong Wei, who used to study in Berlin. Ms. Xiong Wei returned to China from Germany for a job and was imprisoned in a forced labor camp because she distributed Falun Gong leaflets. B.G. is a human rights advocate. She continued, "Rarely known to the public is the fact that many toys exported from China were manufactured in this forced labor camp." The prisoners are abused like slaves. They also suffer brutal torture. Although the aforementioned lady has been released, B.G. stated, "We don't have any information about her current situation or her whereabouts." Many of the people who get released from the forced labor camps are "on the brink of death". Recently, the Chinese Government has applied pressure to other countries just like they did to the French Government during the Chinese Spring Festival.

B.G. and other supporters hope to raise the public's attention to the human rights violations occurring in China. The facts of the persecution in China are unimaginable; people are persecuted because of their beliefs. Petition signatures were collected in this activity, which will be passed onto the Human Rights Committee of the German Parliament.
