Dear Mr. Chretien:

I would like to take this opportunity to voice my concerns to you regarding the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by Jiang Zemin's regime. Jiang Zemin has ordered a scheme to "defame Falun gong practitioners' reputations, break them financially, and destroy them physically." In the past two years, Jiang's regime has systematically carried out a vicious and brutal nationwide campaign of terrorism against Falun Gong practitioners.

I am writing you today to urge you in taking a stance towards the Chinese authorities; letting them know they must stop persecuting Falun Gong, and to release all the practitioners from incarceration immediately. This behavior by the Chinese authorities is clearly unacceptable and something must be done to stop the persecution of these innocent people immediately. We have a responsibility, as a nation of peace, to stand up for individual rights, such as the right to practice Falun Gong.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

xxx xxx, MP
