【大纪元4月8日讯】（大纪元记者曾妮报导)欧洲议会副主席爱德华．麦克米兰-斯考特（Edward McMillan-Scott）在得悉高智晟的近遇后，呼吁停止对高智晟的迫害，并呼吁抵制北京奥运。麦克米兰-斯考特同时呼吁停止迫害与他见面并遭致折磨的法轮功学员曹东、牛进平和张连英。
麦克米兰-斯考特是在得知沉寂8个月之后的高智晟于4月6日第一次向外界揭露他及其家庭的近遇后作出这番表示的。
他还说，中国境内的独裁者应该受到已有104个国家支持的国际法庭的审判。
以下是他致大纪元及希望之声的信件的全文：
“我祝福和支持所有抗议中共集权的无理暴力、偏执和腐败的人士。每一天都有更多的证据，揭露中共集团和官员迫害人类的罪行，但每一天中国人都离民主和自由更近——这是在经历了一代又一代的恐怖之后，他们应该拥有的自由和民主。每一天也离中国的独裁者接受审判的日子更近，这审判将由104个国家所支持的国际法庭执行。
我要特别提到这个政权是如何对付高智晟律师——一位中国的领先人权活动家，他是一名基督徒。今天他将庆祝他的上帝复活。从我与他通话并支持他的事业之后，高律师正被所谓的“软禁”，他正遭受着地狱般的生活。就因为他们对待此人的手段，世界的人民必须停止北京奥运。高律师被这样的惩罚，只因他维护了中共政权的受害者，正如我去年五月在北京认识的张连英女士，牛进平的妻子：她只因炼法轮功就遭受严重迫害，目前已经双耳失聪。
另一位我见过面的曹东先生，目前还在监狱遭受酷刑。他的罪行，除了作为一个法轮功学员以外，就是他当我在准备一篇人权和民主的报告时，与我会面。近期欧洲议会的新主席波特林 （ Hans-Gert Poettering ）已经向中共提及他的案子。文明的国家正在看着，正在等待。
爱德华．麦克米兰-斯考特
以下是爱德华．麦克米兰-斯考特信件的英文原文：
“I send my best wishes and support to all who protest about the arbitrary, brutal, corrupt and paranoid Communist regime in China. Every day brings more evidence of crimes against humanity by agents of the Chinese Communist Party and its agencies; every day is a day nearer the freedom and democracy which the people of China deserve after generations of horror. Every day is a day nearer the justice which the International Criminal Court, supported by 104 states so far, will hand down to the tyrants in China.
“I want in particular to highlight the way in which the regime is treating China’s leading human rights activist, Mr Gao Zhisheng, a Christian who will today celebrate the resurrection of his God. His so-called ‘house arrest’ – after I spoke to him and took up his cause – is a living hell. Just because of their treatment of this one man, the world community must stop the Beijing Olympics. Gao is being punished because of his defence of the many thousands of victims of the regime, like Zhang Lianying, the wife of Niu Jinping, who I met last May in Beijing: she has been tortured so much for her practise of Falun Gong that she is deaf.
“The other former prisoner I met, Mr Cao Dong, is still in prison and suffering torture. His crime, apart from being a Falun Gong practitioner, is that he met me while I was preparing a report on human rights and democracy. His case was raised with the regime recently by the new president of the European Parliament, Dr Hans-Gert Poettering. The civilised world is watching – and waiting.”
