Three UK Bishops Express Opposition to Article 23 Legislation
(Clearwisdom.net June 7, 2003) The Hong Kong authorities, under pressure from the Jiang
regime, intend to push through the widely opposed Article 23 legislation by July 9, 2003. The
proposed legislation poses a serious threat to civil liberties and basic freedoms of the territory,
and is widely believed to be targeting Falun Gong practitioners. Recently the Bishop of Bradwell, the Rt Rev Laurie Green, wrote to Falun Gong
practitioners regarding the Article 23 legislation. She said "I do assure you that I will do
all in my power to support the intention of your letter and will press for the Hong Kong government
to have a proper degree of independence of mind and authority whenever I find myself able to do
so." Two other Bishops of the Church of England signed a petition against Article 23
legislation. Source: http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200306/12951.html
