Sweden: MPs Condemn the CCP and Call to Boycott 'An Unbelievably Evil Regime' During Rally Held in Stockholm

Eight Swedish Members of Parliament came to a human rights rally on October 21, 2020, to show their support. The rally was held next to the Parliament House in Stockholm and was attended by Falun Dafa practitioners and representatives from many human rights groups. The MPs condemned the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) criminal conduct in persecuting Falun Dafa and other ethnic groups, and for creating chaos and calamity in the world. They called the CCP one of the biggest threats to the world and said that the world’s people should work together to boycott the CCP.

The EU must work together. The world must unite to fight back against the CCP’s threats,” he said.
