By Family members of persecuted Falun Gong practitioners

To the Clearwisdom website and the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong:

We are family members of Falun Gong practitioners in China, people of all ages, from infants to elders. Since July 20, 1999, practitioners have suffered all kinds of terrible tortures. Family members have been harassed, arrested, beaten, and their property has been confiscated. Despite all of this, we believe that the sun one day will shine, and heavenly principles and justice will be vindicated.

Because of cruel persecution, many of our family members had no choice but to become homeless and destitute. So many cold nights have passed, when we missed our loved ones, and wondered how they managed to survive the cold and hunger! So many hot summers, when we did not know our loved ones' whereabouts! So many sleepless nights we have spent worrying about them!

Several years have passed. Every waking moment, we still worry about our family members who were forcefully expelled from their homes. We are faced with the fact that hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured to death, with even more deaths of practitioners due to persecution being undocumented. We never know, and don't dare to imagine whether our loved ones were among those Falun Gong practitioners. We still await their return.

Spring has come again. We hope that you will start a new section on your websites and renew efforts to help us search for our family members who still suffer persecution. Considering the fact that there are still many Falun Gong practitioners who have had warrants illegally issued for their arrest, we expect that their names have not been published. All we ask is that you inform their family members of their safety.

Let us do the right thing and uphold justice!
