(Clearwisdom.net) In a recent interview, Mr. Goran Lindblad, vice
president of PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe) and head of
the Swedish PACE delegation, stressed once again, "The persecution of Falun
Gong by the CCP is absolutely unacceptable." Mr. Goran Lindblad, vice president of PACE and head of the
Swedish PACE delegation The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has persecuted Falun Gong for nine years
since starting the persecution on July 20, 1999, and it still continues. Mr.
Goran Lindblad stated, "This is unacceptable. The CCP regime regards Falun
Gong as its enemy. I think that the persecution launched by them is
wrong.""We absolutely cannot accept the fact that crimes of removing
organs from living people are happening right now and Falun Gong practitioners
and Christians are illegally put into prison and then are forced to obey the
communist theories." On the afternoon of July 9, 2008, the European Parliament held their plenary
meeting in Strasbourg, discussing the situation in China before the Olympic
Games, and the Sichuan Province earthquake. Together with other representatives
of various parties, non-governmental groups and MPs from the European
Parliament, Mr. Lindblad has strongly condemned the continuing human rights
violations by the CCP. In recent years, Mr. Lindblad has repeatedly made
speeches on different occasions protesting the persecution of Falun Gong
practitioners. Referring to the CCP's methods of violence and deception, Mr. Lindblad
stressed, "This is the basic characteristic of Communism and the
dictatorship of the proletariat in that it is somebody who decides what people
should do. I strongly object to this point. In fact, this is not feasible,
neither feasible in China nor in the Soviet Union nor in Cuba. It is not
feasible in any place." He added, "The Communist Party fears any point of view beyond the scope
of their ideology, regardless of any ideologies. They do not tolerate any
non-compliance matters. Since Lenin started his revolution in Russia in 1917,
the Party had been adopting the means of repression of different views, even
imagined different views." Mr. Lindblad continued, "I know some Falun Gong practitioners. Although
I don't understand the philosophy of Falun Gong much, I think they have the
right to practice their own beliefs and they are all very good people."
