【大纪元3月23日讯】应广大中国人民的强烈要求，正在全球接力传递的“人权圣火”3月23日开始传入中国大陆，并于这一天直至8月间在全中国巡回传递。数千万遭受中共欺压迫害、不满腐败暴政和追求自由公正人权的中国人将参与传递。在这一天，香港举行了人权圣火进入中国大陆誓师大会及游行，以下是瑞典国会议员、欧洲理事会议院大会政治事务委员会主席（Chairperson of Political Affairs Committee, Parliamentary Assembly, Council of Europe）约让．林德布拉德（Göran Lindblad）的录音发言：
我希望向人权圣火的主办者及与圣火一同来港的人们致以问候。我们所有人一起站起来对抗中共政权，是非常重要的。这次集会与人权圣火来到共产政权的土地上，是一个非常重要的标志，中共不会真的想让世界的人民看到在中国发生的事。
我是新选出的欧洲理事会议院大会政治事务委员会主席。对我来说，所有人都站起来维护人权、民主与法治，是非常重要的。所以，我在电台与媒体上主张，所有参加北京奥运观众和运动员，都应该戴上一个宣示人权与自由的徽章。这个徽章可以用黄色写上宣示人权与自由的中英文字样。
国际奥委会遇到了一点麻烦。比如在英国，当地的奥委会不想让运动员对媒体说话，但他们后来必须撤回那个决定，因为那违反了英国的法律。在4月中旬，我们的委员会将在欧洲理事会举行一个特殊听证会，讨论中国的普遍情况，但亦会谈到在奥运问题上的言论自由，以及藉奥运的契机向北京施压的重要性。
对我来说，这个共产政权的倒台只是时间问题。我认为这个过程可以非常迅速。两年半以前我在香港时打赌中共会在5年内倒台。假如它在现在起的两年半内不崩溃的话，我不会只满足于知道原因。但是，我们都要奋斗去让它实现。还有那些勇敢的人们，尤其是中国国内的反对声音，与及法轮功今天的反对声音。
我认为中国共产党与当年莫斯科的共产党犯下了同一个错误。它们没有察觉到反抗来自内部，还有其它的征兆指有些人失踪了，还有许多外交官出走。中国境内还有反抗的局面，目前西藏的抗议是其中一个，还有很多地方性的抗暴运动。中共声称这是由达赖喇嘛所组织，但这当然是胡说八道。那是西藏人想要他们的自由，想要作为人类而活着的权利。中国内地的人民也应该拥有这个权利。所以，这个集会和人权圣火来到香港，是做了一件非常重要的事，让全世界都明白到，这场辩论现在已经相当激烈了。就在上星期，我们宣布要举行一场关于中国问题的全体听证会，我们发布这个新闻消息时，很多媒体来到了斯特拉斯堡及欧洲其它地方。所以，我希望能够让这场辩论继续下去。希望你们的工作一切顺利。谢谢各位！
（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)
