Letter to the Chinese Embassy in Sweden from the Nordic Falun Dafa Association

Stockholm 2001-08-24

Mr ambassador and all employees at the embassy,

Falun Gong practitioners in the Nordic countries condemn the brutality of the Chinese government in the Masanjia labour camp. We demand the immediate release of all 130 Falun Gong practitioners who are on hunger strike and who are illegally imprisoned there. The hunger strike is already on day 23.

Masanjia labour camp in Liaoning province is a hell on earth. In October last year guards at the labour camp undressed 18 female practitioners and threw them into prison cells with male criminals. The murderers who beat practitioners and administer electric shocks to the nipples and reproductive organs of female practitioners are worse than devils. Towards thousands of innocent, peaceful female practitioners who refused to give up their belief in Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance, the labour camp has resorted to rape, physical torture, and even murder. The Masanjia camp has now refused to release 130 practitioners, despite the fact that their term of punishment--which was illegal to begin with-- has ended. This reveals the total failure of the evil forces' attempt to suppress the good nature of human beings. Coercion cannot change the hearts of human beings. These 130 practitioners are using their lives to demand justice, and to awaken the consciences and righteousness of the world's people.

For over two years the Chinese government has brutally persecuted Falun Gong in order to satisfy the personal ambitions of Jiang Zemin. This goes against the constitution of the People's Republic of China, the Law, and infringes upon the international human rights standard that the Chinese government has signed. It is not just that those who are persecuted are innocent Falun Gong practitioners, but the basic human moral values of the whole society are being destroyed. Good people who follow the principle of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance are punished, while bloody rapists and murderers are supported and rewarded by the dictatorship. It is sad and it is a shame for the Chinese people and the whole world.

Good is rewarded with good. Evil is met with evil. That is not a new invention. It is a heavenly law that can't be changed according to the will of any powerful dictatorship. What awaits the scoundrels who help the evil forces is not just guilt for all time, but also perpetual repayment in their eternal lives. Expose the evil, stop and eradicate the violence. That is our--that is every human being's--responsibility and obligation.

SOS! We demand that the Chinese government immediately releases those 130 Falun Gong practitioners, whose lives are in acute danger.
