Sweden: Question Tabled in Swedish Parliament about "Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion for Falun Gong Supporters in France" (Clearwisdom.net) 16th April 2004 Written Question No. 443 to the Chairman of the Committee of
Ministers. Written Question No. 443 by Göran Lindblad (Swedish
Parliament member) The French police arrested about fifty Falun Gong supporters
on January 24th-25th 2004 in Paris. They came from the USA, England, Sweden,
Holland, France, Austria, Germany, Norway, and Taiwan. Some only participated in
the Chinese New Year's parade; some were wearing yellow scarves and some
possessed material about Falun Gong. It appears as if the French authorities acted on the demands
from communist China (PRC). To ask the Chairman of the Committee of Ministers: What steps will the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers
take to ensure the freedom of speech, freedom to wear yellow scarves, and
freedom to express religious and political opinion publicly even for Falun Gong
supporters in France? Source: http://clearharmony.net/articles/200405/19809.html
