UK Independence Party and Liberal Democrat Groups Respond to Organ Harvesting in China
(Clearwisdom.net) The UK Independence Party wrote to the European Friends of Falun Gong to
express their concern "about the practice of 'organ harvesting' from
prisoners of conscience in China." MEP Graham said he and "his UKIP MEP colleagues all abhor the
disgraceful practices and will do all they can to try and prevent it." He
continues to say that they will give their support to "try and bring these
horrific practices to an end." Graham Tope from London Assembly Liberal Democrat Group wrote: "Thank you for your letter of 10th September. I am replying on behalf of
the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Members. As you may know, on the 21st of
December 2000, the Assembly passed unanimously the following resolution: This Assembly strongly supports Article 18 of the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, which states that everyone has the right to freedom
of thought and religion and that everyone has the right to manifest these in
public or in private, in teaching, practice and worship. This Assembly notes that London is a city renowned for its cultural and
religious diversity and encourages the values outlined in Article 18, and that
the Falun Gong is a Chinese spiritual movement centred around the practice of
meditation. This Assembly calls on the Chair to write to the Chinese Ambassador to
condemn the Chinese Government for its policy of suppressing the Falun Gong
movement, by means of harassment, arbitrary detention, unfair trial, torture,
and murder. The Liberal Democrats, of course, supported that motion then and we are still
very much of the same view. With many thanks for writing to us." European Friends of Falun Gong October 8th, 2006 http://clearharmony.net/articles/200610/35897.html
