Dear Mr. McCallem:
I am writing to urge the Department of Justice to reconsider
its decision to drop the lawsuit against former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin for
his role in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. I share the
concern of many of my constituents in Austin, Texas that Falun Gong
practitioners are suffering from wrongful arrests and imprisonment, torture and
sometimes death in China.
Falun Gong practitioners in the United States filed a case in
the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division,
in October of 2002. The case, Plaintiffs A, B, C, D, E, and F, and others
similarly situated, Wei Ye and Hao Wang v. Jiang Zemin and Falun Gong Control
Office (A.K.A Office 6/10), addresses several allegations, including torture
and genocide. In keeping with our country's commitment to addressing human
rights violations in the international community, I encourage the Department to
fully consider the case.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Elliott Naishtat
