Dear Members:
I am writing to seek your support in the class action lawsuit
filed by Falun Gong practitioners against the ex-President of China Jiang Zemin
and the Falun Gong Control Office, "the 610 office."
Falun Gong is practiced in over fifty countries including the
United States. Due to its increased popularity in China Falun Gong has been
declared illegal by the Jiang regime. Since 1999 the Chinese Government has
imprisoned, tortured and even executed practitioners of Falun Gong.
The number of people who have been tortured to death has
risen to over 700 and persecution has been extended to relatives, neighbors and
to coworkers of people who practice Falun Gong.
Dr. Haiying He, a biomedical researcher from Boston, is one
example of how devastating Jiang's persecution is. Dr. He's father, mother,
brother and sister have all been imprisoned or sent to labor camps in China
because they refuse to give up Falun Gong and its principles of Truth,
Compassion and Forbearance.
By supporting this lawsuit we seek to hold Jiang Zemin and
the Falun Gong Control Office accountable for the crimes they are committing
against the people of China.
Sincerely,
Martin J. Walsh
State Representative
Mark J. Carron
State Representative
Co-signed by 24 State Representatives and 2 State Senators

The signatures of 26 State Representatives and 2 Senators from Massachusetts
