Published on 6/22/2002 Before the practitioners arrived in Iceland, the Jiang regime had already distributed slanderous materials against Falun Gong to Icelandic police. With righteous belief and compassion, the practitioners clarified the truth to police. All police changed their attitudes and many of them requested truth-clarifying materials from the practitioners during shift changes and before returning home.

The Icelandic people voluntarily coming to support us learn the exercises, following the practitioners in good order. Police are relieved. They trust us very much.

You can go anywhere you want." The practitioners get everything ready and restore the classroom to its original state. The classroom looks clean and neat. The police officers were moved by the practitioners’ behavior. They said many greeting words and took a group photo with us in a friendly manner. We left the school happily where we had been detained for 18 hours.

Published on 6/15/2003 (June 11, 2003, Reykjavik) It has been a year since the Icelandic government barred the entry of Falun Gong practitioners into Iceland, marking the darkest days in Iceland’s democratic history. This unjust action was most unfortunate, yet it is even more disheartening that it has not been corrected after one year, a year in which Falun Gong practitioners made numerous efforts to communicate with Icelandic authorities to uphold principles and request the restoration of justice. Iceland Dialogue Committee (FIDC) filed a complaint to The Parliamentary Ombudsman concerning the Icelandic authorities’ unjust actions towards Falun Gong practitioners to bar their entry to Iceland before and during the visit of former head of China Jiang Zemin to Iceland in June 2002.
