On August 13, 2002, Falun Gong practitioners from Stockholm, Sweden protested in front of the Chinese Embassy in Sweden, urging the Hong Kong government to immediately dismiss the false accusation against the sixteen innocent Falun Gong practitioners. They also called on Sweden and the international community to pay attention to this political trial against Falun Gong practitioners, which was initiated by the Hong Kong police under heavy pressure from Jiang Zemin's regime.

After the protest, practitioners presented truth-clarifying materials to government officials, media and the Chinese Embassy. An official from the Swedish Foreign Ministry said that the case in which Hong Kong police accused Falun Gong practitioners severely violated human rights, and we should react immediately.
