Iceland's Biggest Newspaper Publishes a Falun Gong Practitioner's Letter Exposing the CCP's Atrocities

(Clearwisdom.net) On June 14th, 2006, the biggest newspaper in Iceland, Frettabladid, published a Falun Gong practitioner's letter in its entirety.

The special commissioner of the Parliament deemed illegal Iceland officials' treatment of Falun Gong practitioners during Jiang Zemin's visit to Iceland in the summer of 2002.

Four years have gone by. Yet it is still critical for the Iceland authorities to correct the mistake made, for example, by adopting a clear stance on the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) recent atrocities of human rights persecution. The CCP regime, which has claimed sixty or eighty million lives during peacetime, is allegedly profiting from organs harvested from living people.

According to human rights lawyer Georges-Henri Beauthier, these atrocities are only but a tiny portion of the CCP persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, which fit under the definition of genocide under international law. State terrorism is certainly not a specific problem of any individual country but rather a general threat to the treasured value system of all mankind. Such a threat must be dealt with via current peaceful and legal avenues.

The Iceland authorities demonstrated last summer that independence is far more important in international affairs than maintaining friendship with a foreign dictator. Interchanges with Taiwanese officials and tough positions adopted at the United Nations Security Council changed the CCP attitude. Consequently all official visits to Iceland were suspended.

Of the sixty million CCP members eleven million have publicly renounced the CCP [or its affiliated organizations], risking their own safety. The number of renouncements is increasing daily by about twenty thousand. It is high time to protect and improve the safety of people's lives.

It is my sincere hope that the Icelandic authorities will follow the wish of Iceland's public to progress in democracy and human rights and in resolutely condemning the unforgivable atrocities of genocide.
