STRASBOURG, FRANCE—On September 26 and 27, members of the Chinese delegation and European Parliament (EP) met at the Parliament headquarters in Strasbourg, France.
Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice President of the EP and Falun Gong practitioners Jane Dai and her daughter were interviewed by several major media at the EP headquarters. They spoke about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) eight-year-long persecution against Falun Gong and stressed the violence of the illegal live organ harvesting from practitioners.
One of the important topics in the talk between Beijing and the EP is the eight-year-long persecution of Falun Gong in China. The CCP requested to talk to McMillan-Scott alone. McMillan-Scott has been a long time supporter of Falun Gong and he has demanded that the international society should investigate into live organ harvesting from practitioners.
Before the talk, many Falun Gong practitioners in Europe gathered in front of the EP headquarters and called the EP to pressure the CCP into ending the persecution in China.
On September 26, 2007 in the morning, McMillan-Scott, who is also a member of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG), brought two of his assistants to the scene of the protest to further understand the persecution in China.
Later, McMillan-Scott invited Jane Dai and Dai's daughter Fadu Chen, who are both victims of the persecution, inside the EP building where they were interviewed by several international media including the Euro News and BBC.
McMillan told the reporters that there are severe human rights violations in Beijing. Voices calling for the boycott of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing are spreading inside the EP and gaining wide support and attention.
