Seoul: Persecution of Falun Gong Exposed at NGO Forum on National Human Rights Institutions (Photos)
By a Falun Gong Practitioner in Korea
(Clearwisdom.net) The NGO (Non-governmental Organizations) Forum on
National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), with the focus of "Building
Strategic Partnerships between NGOs and NHRIs," was held in the conference
room of the National Human Rights Committee in Seoul on September 12, 2004, the
eve of the 7th International Conference for NHRIs, when human right institutions
will hold discussions on human right issues, strategies and partnerships. Falun Gong practitioners distributed books and materials exposing the
persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang's regime to NGO representatives from more
than forty countries at a booth at the forum site. With the forum sponsor's
permission, a photo exhibit of the persecution was held during the forum. The forum held discussions on specific topics in the morning and had group
discussions in the afternoon . Falun Gong practitioners joined the four
discussion teams in the afternoon and told NGO representatives from different
countries of the persecution of the innocent Falun Gong practitioners in China. A Korean Falun Gong practitioner said in a group discussion, "I heard
about the cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners on the first day I
started practicing Falun Gong. I have been concerned with human rights since
then. This is why I am here today... Among all terrorist acts targeting specific
groups of people on the earth, the persecution of Falun Gong in China is the
most serious and disturbing. More than one thousand Falun Gong practitioners
have lost their lives in the past five years. Hundreds of thousands of Falun
Gong practitioners have been thrown into forced labor camps, mental hospitals
and jails. Human rights are trampled on. I sincerely call for your attention to
the terrorist acts in China." Because of good communication between Falun Gong practitioners and the
sponsor of the forum, it was a very successful activity to expose the
persecution in China. Falun Gong practitioners in Korea plan to further expose
the persecution of Falun Gong to representatives of human right institutions
around the world at the 7th International Conference for NHRIs.
NGO representatives carefully look through the photo exhibit on the
persecution of Falun Gong
