Your Excellency
I am concerned to hear that the authorities in your country have arrested Ms. Pirjo Svensson and handed her over to the immigration police for no other offence than the possession of documents relating to Falun Gong, apparently so as to save embarrassment to the Chinese Prime Minister, Wen Jiabao, on the occasion of his visit.
There is widespread and increasing disgust in many countries of the world at the unprovoked and inhuman persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist authorities; and your Government's action in collaborating with this persecution is disappointing in that it appears to show that it is to curry favour with its large neighbour.
Such action can only diminish the respect with which your country is regarded in the rest of the world and lead to doubts as to the genuineness of its sovereign independence.
Yours faithfully,
Lord Moyne
