Voice of Justice

On June 14th, the U.S. non-governmental organization, the Institute on Religion and Public Policy, published a media announcement in which they claimed that the Icelandic government's behavior of banning entrance to Falun Gong practitioners and yielding to a "human rights villain" is a violation of human rights, and such action will bring about serious international consequences.

Current Events Commentary

In a June 14th report, France's International Broadcast Station stated that because of Chinese president Jiang's visit, the Icelandic government continues to obstruct Falun Gong practitioners from all over the world from entering Iceland. Yesterday evening, more than 30 Falun Gong practitioners who were forced to stay in Paris, France held a press conference and also a peaceful sit-in and exercise protest. The Icelandic government's refusal to let Falun Gong practitioners enter the country shocked that whole nation. Yesterday, the largest newspaper in Iceland published a whole page statement with three huge Chinese characters meaning ["Apology"], which extended an apology to the Falun Gong practitioners.

News from Abroad / Korea

Experiences of practitioners in Korea. During the World Cup Soccer Game, I passed truth clarification materials to Chinese people on the subway train. One person asked for a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. Because we were not allowed to distribute flyers at the soccer field, we walked among the Chinese people and let them see the words "Falun Dafa is the Righteous Fa" printed on our T-shirts. We also clarified the truth to them. After the game ended and the Chinese people began to withdraw, we followed them to the subway station. Some Chinese people approached us and asked for truth-clarification materials.
