French Deputy Raises Falun Gong Question with Foreign MinistryAndre Guerin
Mayor of Venissieux
Deputy for Rhone
You have drawn my attention to the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese government since July 1999. Falun Gong is a method of clean living, which is non- religious and non- political.
An Amnesty International report of March 2000, published in France in June, confirms your concerns regarding this situation.
I have decided to put forward a question to the French government via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I enclose a copy of the written question that I will be posing and I will not hesitate to send you their response.
