Support from the All India Young Lawyer Association (Clearwisdom.net)
We strongly deplore the brutal persecution of millions of Falun Gong
practitioners by the totalitarian regime of China. In our view, the Chinese
people should have the right to practice their spiritual beliefs including the
right to practice Falun Gong.
Under Article 18 of the United Nations Charter of Human Rights, everyone has
the right and liberty to believe in any spiritual system. Hence we urge the
Chinese regime to adhere to Article 18 of the UN Charter honestly. We regard
Falun Gong as Spiritual practice that brings immense benefits to its
practitioners. We appreciate the peaceful and non-violent way of resistance by
Falun Gong practitioners to the brutalities of the Chinese regime.
We call upon the International Legal fraternity and the world spiritual
leaders to help Falun Gong practitioners in China by bringing pressure upon the
Chinese regime to respect basic Human Rights as granted in the Chinese
Constitution. We also urge the legal Luminaries of the world to provide all
kinds of support to the Falun Gong practitioners, which they may require.
Our Association expresses its total solidarity with the Falun Gong
practitioners who are being victimized by the Chinese regime and appeal to the
world leaders to extend their support for this noble cause.
We further appeal to the UN General Secretary to prevail upon the Chinese
Government to respect the basic human rights as mentioned in the United Nations
Declaration on Human Rights.
The Association does positively hope that better sense will prevail upon the
Chinese Leadership and they will restore the freedom of spiritual belief of
Falun Gong practitioners in China.
