(Editor's note: Tsinghua University, one of China's most prestigious institutes of higher education, is known for its harsh persecution of Falun Gong student-practitioners.)

Dear Editor (of Clearwisdom.net),

Amnesty International, San Francisco, California Group 466, voices its longstanding support for Tsinghua Student-Practitioners, and calls for an immediate end to their persecution. Tsinghua students deserve respect and protection from the police, not arrest and abuse. The world is watching the government of China, and demands an immediate submission to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, specifically in the case of Falun Gong Practitioners.
