【大紀元4月8日訊】（大紀元記者曾妮報導)歐洲議會副主席愛德華．麥克米蘭-斯考特（Edward McMillan-Scott）在得悉高智晟的近遇後，呼籲停止對高智晟的迫害，並呼籲抵制北京奧運。麥克米蘭-斯考特同時呼籲停止迫害與他見面並遭致折磨的法輪功學員曹東、牛進平和張連英。
麥克米蘭-斯考特是在得知沉寂8個月之後的高智晟於4月6日第一次向外界揭露他及其家庭的近遇後作出這番表示的。
他還說，中國境內的獨裁者應該受到已有104個國家支持的國際法庭的審判。
以下是他致大紀元及希望之聲的信件的全文：
「我祝福和支持所有抗議中共集權的無理暴力、偏執和腐敗的人士。每一天都有更多的證據，揭露中共集團和官員迫害人類的罪行，但每一天中國人都離民主和自由更近——這是在經歷了一代又一代的恐怖之後，他們應該擁有的自由和民主。每一天也離中國的獨裁者接受審判的日子更近，這審判將由104個國家所支持的國際法庭執行。
我要特別提到這個政權是如何對付高智晟律師——一位中國的領先人權活動家，他是一名基督徒。今天他將慶祝他的上帝復活。從我與他通話並支持他的事業之後，高律師正被所謂的「軟禁」，他正遭受著地獄般的生活。就因為他們對待此人的手段，世界的人民必須停止北京奧運。高律師被這樣的懲罰，只因他維護了中共政權的受害者，正如我去年五月在北京認識的張連英女士，牛進平的妻子：她只因煉法輪功就遭受嚴重迫害，目前已經雙耳失聰。
另一位我見過面的曹東先生，目前還在監獄遭受酷刑。他的罪行，除了作為一個法輪功學員以外，就是他當我在準備一篇人權和民主的報告時，與我會面。近期歐洲議會的新主席波特林 （ Hans-Gert Poettering ）已經向中共提及他的案子。文明的國家正在看著，正在等待。
愛德華．麥克米蘭-斯考特
以下是愛德華．麥克米蘭-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.”
