Petra Wimmer, MP said, “I hold deep sympathy for the relatives of Falun Gong practitioners who died from torture, being held in concentration camps, and who are facing the illegal organ trade. The attention of the international community can raise awareness of these issues and thereby increase pressure on the Chinese government to cease these practices. I thank the Falun Dafa Information Center for its comprehensive truth-telling work and hope that, in the future in China (and around the world), everyone will be able to practice their faith without worrying about the consequences.”
