Along with the rapid progress of Fa-rectification, Dafa practitioners residing outside of Paris (almost all are Western practitioners) pay more and more attention to Hongfa to the local government. They introduce the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" of Falun Gong and the brutal persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in China. The collective efforts of the practitioners make French people and each level of government "all know very well what we're about and what the evil that's persecuting Dafa is about." ("Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.")

Here is the letter from French Senator Gerard BAILLY to Falun Gong practitioners:

French Republic

Senate

Gérard BAILLY

Senator of Jura

President of the General Council

December 4, 2001

Sir [name withheld],

Following your recent exchange with Mr. Philippe LEMOINE, in charge of communications of the General Council of Jura, I have indeed taken into consideration the situation in which the members of the FALUN GONG Association currently find themselves.

Know that I have duly noted your claims regarding this problem.

Moreover, I have permitted myself, today even, to transmit a copy of this file to the Assembly Group for the Republic, to which I belong to the Senate, so that it can be examined with the greatest attention by the Administrators in charge of this realm of ability.

Wishing that you will receive this well, and remaining at your complete disposal, I wish you all the best.

Gérard
