Mr Minister,

Please allow me to respond to a letter to me by a French citizen of a Chinese ethnic group. She and her friends from Taiwan were detained and searched on the 26th of January during the Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit.

The uniformed police took these people to the Paris fourth police station for an identity and security check when they were about to go into the metro station near the city government square. This lady pointed out that the search was carried out in a very rude manner and that they did not do anything to justify this action. She thinks that they were arrested simply because they were wearing yellow scarves with Falun Gong symbols.

I will be very pleased if you can give me a clear explanation of this incident.

Thank you, Mr Minister. Please accept my highest respect.

Warmly
