The Parliamentary Commissioner has decreed that the Icelandic government was
not legally permitted to prevent Falun Gong members from entering Iceland in
June 2002, when the Chinese president was visiting Iceland, the Icelandic State
Broadcasting Service reports.
Representatives of the Falun Gong movement welcomed the decision, and
requested that the government pay compensation to those banned from entering
Iceland, as well as handing over the list of undesirable people so it could be
destroyed. They said that the government had attempted to stifle the voice of
justice and bow to the wishes of a foreign dictator. They had gone against the
wishes of the Icelandic people and had set a dangerous precedent to other
democratic countries in their actions against Falun Gong.
