(Clearwisdom.net) The San Francisco City Hall Board
Meeting was held on Tuesday, February 25, 2003. Two practitioners spoke at the
board meeting, during which a letter was circulated among supervisors for
signatures. All but one of those present signed the form to call for Charles'
rescue.
Charles' fiancée Yeong Ching Foo spoke first, followed by a
western practitioner. They both expressed their outrage at how the Chinese
government is treating Charles and not allowing his fiancée to talk to him or
see him.
Below is a letter to be sent to President Bush and other
federal officials.
We, the California elected government officials, are calling
for the immediate release of Charles Li -- an American citizen and Menlo Park,
CA resident detained in China. We understand that Dr. Charles Li was arrested at
the Guangzhou airport in China on January 22, 2003, when he went to China to
spend the Lunar Chinese New Year with his parents. China is punishing Charles
because he practices Falun Gong, a peaceful meditation practice that China
relentlessly persecuted -- and also because he has been actively helping in
stopping this persecution. We do not want to see an American citizen punished
for his belief. We respectfully ask you to urge China with any means to
immediately release Charles Li as well as other prisoners of conscience
unconditionally.
