in Stockholm, Sweden, on January 26, 2004. Eighteen international human rights
groups, many famous human rights lawyers and a few social activists attended the
conference.
Zhang, started the press conference. He was followed by the former
British diplomat Lord Francis Thurlow who stated, “As history moves into a
new epoch, in China, the genocide of persecution against Falun Gong
practitioners is still happening based on rumors and lies. The manifestation of
this persecution is so evil that no other historical records will be seen as its
equivalent. But what’s more, governments of democratic states draw their
interests in exchanging commercial business with China instead of raising the
human rights issue of the persecution of Falun Gong. As a result, the Chinese
government doesn’t care about those demurring voices from every democratic
country around the world. Instead, they believe that money has the power to do
everything, particularly controlling public opinion.”
Muller showed an article which was published in the German Magazine “Bright
Mirror.” The article reports a crime that happened in Germany, which
involved illegally collecting samples of human organs, and that all these dead
bodies were from China; most of them were prisoners who died while in detention.
Mr. Muller also asked people to pay attention to all these human organs because
many are actually from the bodies of Falun Gong practitioners who have been
tortured to death. He strongly urged that more people pay attention to the
persecution.
remarked, “Compared to Hitler’s crime in slaughtering the Jews, the Chinese
government’s killing of innocent people is more covert, and is more sinister.
This action is hidden under lies, for example, “for the sake of the
stabilization of society and citizens,” and the cruel persecution focuses on
destroying innocent people’s will and morality. The genocide against Falun Gong
practitioners is the most noticeable crime right now.”
Chile, the prominent human rights lawyer Georges-Henri Beauthier stated,
“We know one day, maybe tomorrow, we will bring these dictators to trial.
We are not in an isolated position, as we are here for innocent people instead
of politics and economic benefits. What we want to do is bring Jiang, Li and Luo
to justice.” Looking back on the case, he said, “There were different
opinions among the legal circles of other countries around the world; some
people thought Chile was too far away from us and that there was no hope in
suing him. Even in such difficulty, we have walked through all of the hardships
step by step, and successfully sent him to the trial of justice.”
respectively. The conference ended in an enthusiastic and active environment.
Hope Radio Station attended and reported on the conference. On the evening after
the press conference, the largest TV Station in Sweden broadcast its film of
the conference three times.
