France: Delegates at Human Rights Convention in Lyons Express Support for Falun Gong
(Clearwisdom.net) On February the 21st 2004, French Falun Gong
practitioners attended a human rights conference held in the course of the Green
Goods Exhibition in Lyons. Amnesty International, The Anti-Torture Organization
and the Tibet Association attended this conference. The conference delegates expressed concerns on the issue of human rights in
China, particularly in relation to Falun Gong. Many of them knew what happened
during the Chinese New Year in Paris after hearing about it on the TV or radio.
Due to lies and pressure created by Jiang's regime, French policemen had treated
Falun Gong practitioners in a manner which violated human rights and opposed the
founding principles of the French nation. The conference delegates were
astonished and indignant about this and felt that this should never have
happened in France because France is a country where freedom, democracy and
human rights are safeguarded and enshrined. The delegates thought that this issue must be treated seriously, and
expressed that concrete support and help must be given to the Falun Gong human
rights issue. |
