(Clearwisdom.net) On Saturday the 15th of January, European Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference during a weekend of activities in London. The press conference received statements of support from several prominent UK public figures who denounced the Chinese regime's persecution against Falun Gong. The following is part of a statement from House of Lords member Lord Hylton.

"It is a disgrace that in the last five years many Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured, some dying as a result. I denounce the imprisonment and incarceration in forced labour camps of over 100,000 practitioners. Equally odious is the enforced treatment of others in psychiatric hospitals, so similar to the abuses carried out by the Soviet dictatorship."
