According to RFI's report on April 23, 2002, the French Green Party recently issued a statement to support Falun Gong. The statement said, "The Green Party condemns in the strongest manner the 3 year long despicable and criminal repression of Falun Gong and its practitioners in China. Four hundred have died from the state violence, 50,000 have been arrested; millions of people have their daily life troubled." The statement also stated, "The Green Party asks the French government, as well as its European partners, to urgently intervene so that this repression will end, and so that the basic rights of human beings are respected."
The Green Party's candidate to the presidential election Noel Mamere and the Green Party's national secretary Dominique Voynet signed the statement.
