U.S. Congresswoman Diana DeGette's Letter to Practitioner Supporting the Rights of Falun Gong Practitioners


Congress of the United States
House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515-0601

April 8, 2002


Dear Ms.

Thank you for contacting me regarding the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. I am pleased to learn your views and appreciate the opportunity to share mine.

As a member of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, I am concerned about human rights abuses around the globe. I believe governments should respect the basic freedoms of their citizens. For this reason, I am concerned about allegations of human rights abuses against Falun Gong practitioners in China.

As you probably know, two bills have been introduced in the 107th Congress that would express Congress's disapproval of the Chinese government's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Although I was unable to send a letter to President George W. Bush about this issue before his trip to China, I will be sure to keep your views in mind should these bills reach the House floor for a vote.

Again, thank you for contacting me. I look forward to our continued communication.

á

Sincerely

Diana DeGette
Member of Congress
