(Clearwisdom.net, February 1, 2004) On the morning of January the 28th 2004, the French Falun Dafa Association held a press conference outside the Supreme Court in Paris. They announced that the Falun Gong practitioners who were badly treated and arrested during Hu Jintao's Chinese New Year visit are preparing to sue the responsible French authorities.

The Police Told Me That I was Arrested Because I Wore a Yellow Scarf

(Clearwisdom.net) I arrived in Paris on January 23rd. At about 12:30 p.m. on January 24th, I was chatting with a lady while waiting to watch the parade on Champs Elysees Ave, when a man came up to us, saying something in French. The lady thought he was asking for directions, so she told him that we could only speak English. To our surprise, this man grabbed my arms and pushed me towards a police van parked nearby. I asked in English what he was doing. He answered that he did not understand English. I asked him to let go of me as I could walk on my own. However, he simply shoved me into the van. Altogether 10 people were sent to the van, seven of them being Falun Gong practitioners.

(Clearwisdom.net) I work in Cambridge, England. On January 22nd, 2004, my friends and I came to Paris to attend the Chinese New Year celebration activities. I was among those who played waist drums. Since we did not get approval to attend the float parade on Champs Elysees Ave that day, we went to tour Arc de Triomphe.
