============================================================================================================
首先，我向从世界各地来到华盛顿DC的集会支持者致意！
今天是中共集权迫害法轮功的八周年，到目前为止，有千百万的法轮功修炼者在中国遭受着这个残暴的独裁政权的非人的镇压；还包括众多的基督徒、天主教徒、藏族以及人权卫士，其中不断受到中共国安人员恐吓和骚扰的人权律师高智晟就是一个例子。
中共犯下的罪行令人发指，十恶不赦，也注定了它要解体的命运。西方国家应该支持中国人民捍卫人权和自由，摈弃中共鼓吹的经济假象。
我支持两千四百万退出中共及附属组织的中国勇士们，并鼓励更多的人加入他们的行列。虽身处西方社会，我们与中国人民站在一起，支持和平结束这一共产政权的一切行动。西方社会欢迎一个没有共产党的新中国，一个中国人民期盼的而且值得拥有的中国。
祝集会圆满成功！
爱德华．麦克米兰-斯考特
First of all, I congratulate all of those who have today traveled from various parts of the world to Washington DC to show your support for this rally.
Today marks the 8th anniversary of the persecution of Falun Gong in China by the Chinese Communist regime. Up until now, millions of Falun Gong practitioners in
China have suffered terribly as a result of the regime’s brutal dictatorship, in addition to many Christians, Catholics, Tibetans and human rights defenders also. Sadly, the constant intimidation and harassment by public security personnel of human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng is to name but one.
Having committed such horrible crimes and embodying an evil that can only be considered unpardonable, the Chinese Communist Party is destined to collapse. The West should support the defense of Chinese people’s rights and freedoms and turn its back on the economic illusion being peddled by the CCP.
I support the 24 million brave Chinese who have quit the CCP and its affiliates and encourage more to do the same. We in the West are with the Chinese people and support any actions that will end this communist regime in a peaceful way. The West welcomes a new China that is without communism. This is a China that the Chinese people both long for and deserve.
I wish the rally every success.
Edward McMillan-Scott
