(Clearwisdom.net) From January 24 to 28, 2004, during the time of the China-France cultural parade and Hu Jintao's visit to France, many Falun Gong practitioners were arbitrarily arrested and mistreated in Paris due to pressure from Jiang's regime. Falun Gong practitioners clarified the truth to people from all walks of life and sought lawful channels to deal with the unjustifiable acts. Falun Gong practitioners have received much support. Below is a translation of the letter from French National Assembly Member Francois Hollande to a Falun Gong practitioner.

National Assembly

Tulle, Friday, June 4th, 2004

François Hollande

Deputy-Mayor

Dear Sir:

I have duly received your e-mail of April 30th and I would like to thank you.

You have informed me of your deepest worries concerning the fate of Falun Gong practitioners in China and you have brought to my attention the incidents which have happened in Paris upon President Hu Jingtao's visit, at the end of January.

I have the honour to inform you that the President of the 'Groupe Socialiste' of the National Assembly, Mr. Jean-Marc Ayrault also aware of the events has asked our deputy- colleagues in charge of laws and the Law of Nations to look into the circumstances surrounding these proceedings.

Rest assured that I would be very attentive to the results of this endeavour.

Please be assured of my deepest regards,

Best wishes,

François Hollande
