【大紀元3月23日訊】應廣大中國人民的強烈要求，正在全球接力傳遞的「人權聖火」3月23日開始傳入中國大陸，並於這一天直至8月間在全中國巡迴傳遞。數千萬遭受中共欺壓迫害、不滿腐敗暴政和追求自由公正人權的中國人將參與傳遞。在這一天，香港舉行了人權聖火進入中國大陸誓師大會及遊行，以下是瑞典國會議員、歐洲理事會議院大會政治事務委員會主席（Chairperson of Political Affairs Committee, Parliamentary Assembly, Council of Europe）約讓．林德布拉德（Göran Lindblad）的錄音發言：
我希望向人權聖火的主辦者及與聖火一同來港的人們致以問候。我們所有人一起站起來對抗中共政權，是非常重要的。這次集會與人權聖火來到共產政權的土地上，是一個非常重要的標誌，中共不會真的想讓世界的人民看到在中國發生的事。
我是新選出的歐洲理事會議院大會政治事務委員會主席。對我來說，所有人都站起來維護人權、民主與法治，是非常重要的。所以，我在電台與媒體上主張，所有參加北京奧運觀眾和運動員，都應該戴上一個宣示人權與自由的徽章。這個徽章可以用黃色寫上宣示人權與自由的中英文字樣。
國際奧委會遇到了一點麻煩。比如在英國，當地的奧委會不想讓運動員對媒體說話，但他們後來必須撤回那個決定，因為那違反了英國的法律。在4月中旬，我們的委員會將在歐洲理事會舉行一個特殊聽證會，討論中國的普遍情況，但亦會談到在奧運問題上的言論自由，以及藉奧運的契機向北京施壓的重要性。
對我來說，這個共產政權的倒台只是時間問題。我認為這個過程可以非常迅速。兩年半以前我在香港時打賭中共會在5年內倒台。假如它在現在起的兩年半內不崩潰的話，我不會只滿足於知道原因。但是，我們都要奮鬥去讓它實現。還有那些勇敢的人們，尤其是中國國內的反對聲音，與及法輪功今天的反對聲音。
我認為中國共產黨與當年莫斯科的共產黨犯下了同一個錯誤。它們沒有察覺到反抗來自內部，還有其它的徵兆指有些人失蹤了，還有許多外交官出走。中國境內還有反抗的局面，目前西藏的抗議是其中一個，還有很多地方性的抗暴運動。中共聲稱這是由達賴喇嘛所組織，但這當然是胡說八道。那是西藏人想要他們的自由，想要作為人類而活著的權利。中國內地的人民也應該擁有這個權利。所以，這個集會和人權聖火來到香港，是做了一件非常重要的事，讓全世界都明白到，這場辯論現在已經相當激烈了。就在上星期，我們宣佈要舉行一場關於中國問題的全體聽證會，我們發佈這個新聞消息時，很多媒體來到了斯特拉斯堡及歐洲其它地方。所以，我希望能夠讓這場辯論繼續下去。希望你們的工作一切順利。謝謝各位！
（英文原文：
I would like to send this greeting to the organizers and the people that are coming with the torch to Hong Kong. It is very important that we all stand up against the communist regime in China. This would be a very important signal with the rally and the torch arriving to the communist regime, and they do not really like that all the population see what is going on in China. And as for me, the newly elected chairman of the Political Affairs Committee in the Council of Europe, it is very important that all people stand up for human rights, democracy and the rule of law. So I have advocated in the radio and the press that all spectators and all athletes should wear a button when they go to the Olympics which declares human rights and democracy.
Something else, it could be in Chinese and English written in yellow colours declaring human rights and democracy.
This has been a little trouble for the International Olympic Committee. In Britain for example, the local Olympic Committee didn’t want the athletes to talk to the press, but they had to reverse that decision because that’s against British law. We would have a special hearing in my committee in mid April in the Council of Europe on the situation in China in general but also about the freedom of expression when it comes to the Olympics, and the importance to use this possibility to put pressure on the regime.
For me it’s only an issue of time until the communist regime would fall. I think it can go pretty fast. I have a bet since I was in Hong Kong two and half a year ago that they would fall within 5 years, so if they don’t fall within two and a half years from now, I would not suffice to know why. But we all have to fight to make it happen, and the brave people, especially the opposition in China, and the opposition today of the Falun Gong.
And I think the communist party in China does the same mistake that the communist party in Moscow once did. They didn’t realize that they have an internal opposition, and there are other signs people are missing or there are lot of defections from diplomats. There are also the situation of opposition inside China and not the least the rising in Tibet presently, but a lot of local risings. The Chinese are claiming this is organized by Dalai Lama, but it is nonsense of course. It’s the people in Tibet that want their freedom, and want their rights to live as human beings. This would also be right of people within Mainland China. So it is very important work done with this rally and the torch coming to Hong Kong to make the whole world realize that the debate is coming pretty strong now. We’ve got a lot of press in Strasbourg and the rest of Europe just last week when we issued the news about the hearing that we would have a plenary session on China, so I hope we can keep the debate going. And I wish you all of luck with what you are doing.）(http://www.dajiyuan.com)
