Due to the Jiang regime's pressure on the Icelandic government, the Icelandic police detained 70 Falun Gong practitioners in a school in the morning of June 10, 2002. They were released and allowed to enter the country in the evening of the same day.
This news drew strong reactions from the public, the media and various social groups after it became known to the kind Icelandic people. In the pictures above, some warm-hearted Icelandic people protested in front of the Prime Minister's Office on June 12. They sealed their mouths with strips of black cloth, protesting against the restriction on the freedom of speech.
