More UK MPs Express Support for Bringing Jiang to Justice

(Clearwisdom.net) United States and Belgian Falun Gong practitioners have filed lawsuits against Jiang Zemin, the Chinese dictator who orchestrated the persecution of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners. Many UK MPs expressed their support in their reply to letters from Falun Gong practitioners concerning the lawsuits against Jiang.

Recently Dr. Rudi Vis MP wrote to a practitioner, "Thank you for your letter of 11^th July concerning the persecution of Falun Gong especially by the ex-communist leader Jiang Zemin. I was already familiar with the crimes and with the proposed lawsuits but it is always good to receive reminders of the crimes committed. I entirely agree with the content of your letter."

Two further prominent Liberal Democratic MPs wrote to practitioners. One of them said in his letter, "Persecution of Falun Gong practitioners does seem to be an act that would be unwarranted in our society. I agree with you that people being tortured to death for adherence to Falun Gong is unacceptable. Anybody who commits such acts should be brought to justice in the correct way and tried under international law."

John Thurso MP said in his letter, "It was very kind of you to write as you did on the 11^th July about the continuing persecution of those practicing Falun Gong in China. It is an issue which I have recently raised with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and I am most grateful for the information you have provided.

The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Charles Kennedy, expressed in his reply that he was most grateful for the letter regarding the lawsuit against Jiang. He assured that his colleagues and he in the Liberal Democrats would take the practitioners' concerns and suggestions very seriously.

Many MPs expressed thanks in their reply to the practitioners for informing them of their strong concern about the situation of Falun Gong in China. They would bear in mind the issue in their discussions with their colleagues.

A Welsh MP wrote to a practitioner, "I am wholly supportive of your campaign. Please keep me informed of all future development pertaining to the case."

A lady MP in the south of England said in her letter, "Thank you for recent letter. The plight of the Falun Gong has been brought to the attention of parliament on many occasions and I know that this is one of many issues that will be raised by the Prime Minister in his visit to China."
