Proclamation
Whereas, Falun Dafa practitioners have visited our city
in support of National Rescue Month To Rescue American Charles Li and Families
being tortured in China; and
Whereas, Falun Dafa is self-improvement practice and
system of exercise and teachings originating in ancient Chinese culture that
generate health for the mind and body and emphasize leading one's life according
to the principles of "Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance"; and
Whereas, U.S. Citizen Dr. Charles Li and the relatives of
over 40 families in the U.S. are suffering in Chinese jails and labor camps
solely because of their Falun Dafa practice and belief in Truth, Compassion and
Tolerance.
Now Therefore, I, Harper Peterson, Mayor of the City of
Wilmington, North Carolina, do hereby proclaim September 16, 2003 as
National Rescue Month
To rescue Falun Dafa Prisoners in the People's Republic of
China.
