The Hon. Marco Pannella, MEP and founder of the Transnational Radical Party, today tabled a question to the European Commission regarding the repression of the Falun Gong faith by the Chinese Communist regime.

Pannella denounced the fact that the "crusade" launched by Jiang Zemin in 1999 affected 100 million followers of Falun Gong, and has already led to hundreds of deaths, thousands of barbaric episodes of torture and the imprisonment of tens of thousands of people, as denounced by Amnesty International, the Human Rights Watch and the Falun Dafa Center of New York.

Pannella calls on the European Commission to monitor this growing sequence of human rights abuses adequately and to specify what concrete steps it intends to take to urge the Beijing government to put an end to this repression.
